omg... NO WAY.
it got fractionally lighter and you wouldnt be able to tell.
ninja.
still fugly. Wake me up when something interesting comes out, like an eclipse spool - now that might get my fancy.
Pah, spoolers...since when where they the end all and be all of the paintball industry?..
For now eclipse are totally refining and absolutely sqeezing every last drop of performance out of a reliable platform that has been proven time and time again to work to perfection.
They shoot faster than spool markers, are more reliable due to less dynamic orings than spoolers, easier to fix when and if they break, more fragile on paint etc etc. the list goes on.
Yes the Sl8r might look on paper to be "slightly" better and lighter than the 8 but all the small refinements all add up to a marker that is state of the art and a true work of art.
The Sl range will and always be expensive however you pay for what you get, the milling is more expensive, they are limited edition, they are more refined, etc etc
