The planet Eclipse Etha 2 paintball gun is a great mid-range marker that will keep up with anything on the field and keep you competitive regardless of what others are using! Utilizing the Gamma Core, the Etha 2 is incredibly reliable, consistent, and requires minimal maintenance. With the integration of the PAL system, the Etha 2 is able to use the PAL loader as an alternative to an electronic hopper. How this works is every time the marker fires, a plunger pops up from the feed neck, hitting a corresponding part on the hopper, which then agitates that paint causing it to feed. more consistent than a gravity fed hopper! The glass reinforced nylon body and grip frame provide an extremely durable construction, meaning that this marker can withstand the abuse that it will see on the field!
