FINALLY, the long awaited JRNY Paintball Hopper will be released at the end of this month after PSP’s World Cup. NXE the manufacturer of the JRNY found a last minute software glitch just before the original February release date.  NXE (and SAKworldpaintball.com) thought it would be best to hold the release of the JRNY pending the software fix.  We think its always better when a manufacture releases s “finished” product vs. releasing something defective and troubling the customer or a retail store to have to send the item in for repair after the fact.   The JRNY hopper is set to be the faster and lightest paintball hopper available.  Its feed rates should exceed 30bps.

Most people think you can’t bring a electro paintball gun out in the rain. This just isn’t the case. All paintball guns need to take abuse will in play. Its the nature of paintball to crawl around threw swamps or slide to puddles, manufacturers take then into account when they design a paintball gun. 90% of paintball circuit boards out there are sprayed with a silicone solution to protect them from water. Some boards like the Virtue Boards even go as far as to offer you a life time warranty. Smart Parts went as far as to take a SP1 paintball gun under water and shoot it. What do you know, it still works!

Smartparts.com released some cool video demos on the SP1 and same frame based VIBE paintball guns.   Check them out below. You can check them out here http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=smartpartsinc&p=r

Does anyone else hope this is fake? I found it out on the Planet Eclipse web site. Don’t get me wrong, I love Planet Eclipse Ego paintball guns, however not enough to tattoo their logo to my back (given it did come out nice). if memory serves I think some WDP fan tattooed the Angel logo somewhere on himself.

Did you guys check out the new Eclipse SL8R? Its pretty cool and $200 cheaper than previous years SL (SL66 and SL74) models, which will indefinably put it a little more in reach for more paintballers.
While I brought up Angel, Angel Sports (WDP renamed themselves Angel Sports) will be releasing the A1 Fly any day now. Look for lighten weight, probably new software, and meaner looking milling. I hope they don’t change the barrel thread yet again. They have changed their thread so many times now, its hard to remember what thread is for what Angel.
