Dye I5 with e.Voke info and pictures In just a few days Dye will be debuting the new I5 paintball mask, the successor to the extremely popular I4. We have asked and they wont tell us anything…so we know very little. From the silhouette Dye sent out the I5, looks to be very similar to the I4. The only hint is right above the lens, as it looks like there may be a refined lens retention system. The release of the…
https://paintballruinedmylife.com/2019/02/28/planet-eclipse-gtek-170r-review/ Planet Eclipse has been pumping out the new paintball guns in the past few years. We have seen an onslaught of guns from them: The LV1, LV1.1, Geo 3.1, Geo 3.5, CS1, Gtek, Etek 5 and now the Gtek 106R. Planet Eclipse has manufactured far and away more paintball guns than any other paintball company has in the past few years. As the name would suggest, the Gtek 160R is an iteration of the…
Just a quick rant. Padding on jersey and pants needs to go and the NXL needs to lead the way. There is one reason tournament paintball players want padding on their jerseys, bounces. it could be argued that padding on pants is useful but, in reality, it does very little for knee protection.

Participation dropped every year until the league ceased operations entirely in 2014. Chris Cole, the current head of the NPPL, has officially…
Two of the best paintball teams in the US will be making their European debut in Paris at the MillenniumWorld Championships. MS World Championships are taking place September 16th to the 18th at their new venue, what looks to be pristine soccer (or football) fields. Both teams are being forced to play Division 2 (Division 3 in the NXL), due to the MS locking all division higher than Division 2. The Millennium uses the relegation…
Back when I was playing paintball a little more seriously, one of the best tools I had to improve my game was my trusty Replay Mini. I loved it, until I watched the footage and saw how many silly mistakes I made. They really are great tools though, being able to look back it actual in-game situations and see your mistakes is just amazing. Think of the way the NFL players go back after games or…
Just in time for the release of the Gtek 160R, the price of the Shocker RSX has dropped to $699.95 a $100 drop in price. Shocker Paintball had this to say: “The Shocker RSX has always been the best value in high end paintball markers.
