found this on the nation.

from what i can understand its on about a bolt for a spool that is balanced and so when the bolt goes forward something moves the opposite way and eliminates the recoil.

none of it really makes sense to me but does this mean we might be seeing a spool valve marker from eclipse in the coming years
You forget Planet made their name making quality aftermarket parts for other companies markers

As far as I'm aware Planet still have agreements with in place most of the manufacturers that would still allow them to make aftermarket parts if they wanted to. Not withstanding formal agreements, it certainly not stopped any of the smaller paintball companies making aftermarket parts
