Both the CS3 and the 180R feature versions of the GammasCore bolt system: the 180R with the OP-R Core operating at around 120 PSI, and the CS3 with the OP Core operating in a range from 95-105 PSI. The lower pressure in the CS3 is partly due to its slightly larger body, allowing for more volume in the valve chamber.
The CS2 from Eclipse was such a popular gun that naturally, I was excited to try out it’s replacement the CS3. So I did what I always do when new stuff comes out, go to Sac Paintball and decide what color I want to buy. We did a part swap and I ended up with this silver and black.
Planet Eclipse has released their latest gun, the 180R, the follow-up to the 170R. Although the 180R is quite similar to the 170R, it has been tuned up and tweaked to make it more user-friendly. It launches in a hand-full of colors grey/blue, grey/green, grey/orange, black, and Pred camouflage.
The successor to the popular 170R marker and features one main improvement the, the OP-R Core drivetrain. The OP-R core, is an improved GammaCore with a lower operating pressure.
The Planet Eclipse CS3 is more air efficient than its predecessor, the CS2, with most users seeing between a 10% to 15% improvement. Some have reported up to a 25% but this is not the norm. The controversy stems from Planet Eclipse’s claim that the CS3 is 20% more air efficient, which is likely based on testing with a larger tank. While a 77 tank may technically achieve more shots, this is due to the tank simply being bigger. ability to stay cooler longer and provide better performance at a higher volume.
The Infamous Pro DNA Barrel kit is a high-quality barrel kit that comes with a range of barrel backs and a freak XL Barrel back that can fit freak inserts.

The kit is available in small sizes: .680, .683, .686, .688 and Freak XL Back.
In this video, I discuss an old and rare paintball gun called the Alien Revelation. This gun was made back in 2002 and has a unique feature of having no bolt. Instead, it relies on air to push a paintball out. Another interesting feature of the gun is that it has a trapdoor to seal the area and prevent air from blowing back up into the breach. The barrel is located at the back of the gun, which makes it extremely short.
