How does the vanquish hold up on reliability compared to planet eclipse markers?It all depends on what you're after. If you want something that is similar to the Etek 4 then the LV1 is the perfect choice. If you want a change then you could probably get a Geo 3.1 or a Vanquish for similar money....
Yeah I know what you mean, I treat my Etek like its my own child.They are solid guns, in this day and age the reliability of most guns (Luxe, Vanquish, Dye etc) are night on the same as an Planet guns.
Make sure you read the manual and remember to follow the cleaning regime as required and you won't have any issues with any gun.
Some paintballers are a mix of lazy and stupid and throw their £1000 gun in their kit bag covered in paint and mud and expect it to perform just as well as a clean and cared for marker.
