Over the past few years, the mag-fed market has taken off. There are many companies making magazine-fed guns, from the Dye DAM to the Spyder MR6. An area of the mag-fed market that was missing was a good budget or entry-level gun; yes Spyder makes the MR6 and RAP4/MCS have various different guns but I said, “good”. The Spyder MR6 has its issues, and the RAP4/MCS guns are all around horrible; can Tippmann make a…

m a sucker for a good deal. I love the mid-range paintball guns like the Empire Axe and the Planet Eclipse Gtek, so naturally, I was thrilled when Virtue announced the Vio Ascend. There is just something about getting a good deal that I love. Maybe it is that I don’t take care of things well, and if it is a bit cheaper I don’t feel as bad about it. Or maybe I’m just cheap….…

The GI Sportz LVL, or should I say the Machine Gear II. The LVL loader is quite simply a better version of the Machine Gear. The Gear was released about 2 ½ years ago by Machine Paintball the same company known for making the Machine Vapor paintball guns.

The Spire was simpler, smaller, lighter, and it just plain worked. That isn’t to say that the loader was perfect; it did have its faults. The Spire, while amazing, did have some bugs. One…

The Azodin Kaos has always been one of the best entry-level paintball guns money could buy. The Kaos is reliable, dead simple and worked on the same basic pop valve that paintball guns have used for decades. Quite simply the Azodin Kaos just works. When it comes to getting your first paintball gun, there is one thing you should be looking for, reliability. Nothing worse than going to the paintball field for the first time…

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…
