Paintball Videos

Well, I usually get somewhat excited to see a new paintball gun on the market; not this time. Planet Eclipse released this “Special Edition” SL74 Ego recently. It’s basically a black SL74 with an Aurora kit installed on it. Aurora means: an atmospheric phenomenon consisting of bands of light caused by charged solar particles following the earth’s magnetic lines of force (thank you Google). So they call it “Aurora” because of the wide spectrum of colors on the gun. Only 160 were manufactured. Oh wow, I must have one then if that’s the case.

I’m sure it shoots wonderfully. But is it worth $2,000 though? A smart consumer would say NO. However, if you’re a collector, and have access to 2 g’s (i.e. your mom’s credit card), then go for it.

Stick with the 07 Ego or the 07 Redz Ego if you’re a Planet Eclipse fan.
