Woodford Eclipse 1000

Advantages: Great Trigger, Very accurate!, very fast balls per second, light
Disadvantages: Manufacturing

...I had been using a smartparts shocker for about 3 months before i got a planet eclpise ego. I have had alot of experience with paintball markers (guns) and this one has been one of my favourites! I have used many guns: tippmanns (98 custom, a5) smartparts guns (ion, impulse, shocker) wdp angels (speed) autocockers (e2 eblade) planet eclipse (ego) This gun is reliable and i have had no any problems within the 3 month period of its use. Having said that they do have some flaws in the making 1 out of 30 shockers will have slightly weaker parts than the others which can be corrected with the year guarantee thats normally provided depending on where you buy it (i would reccomend going to an actual paintball store instead of ordering online that way if you get a problem you can take it back and they will fix it (normally for free...

Advantages: Value, Carbon Fork and Seat post
Disadvantages: Sora shifters

...The Trek 1000 is an excellent value for money Entry level Road bike. The increasing demand for road bikes is a result of Triathlons huge and continuing success in the UK. There are few bikes in the Market which geniunley consider that ther are those of us out there who don't have a couple of grand to chuck away on a carbon bike, Enter Trek. The 1000 is serious value for money. The frame uses the same geometery as was used for 7 timeTour de france winner Lance armstrong and if it's good enough for him ... However the material is clearly not carbon but Aluminium however the from Fork is carbon and 2006 version also has a carbon seatpost, i beleve they have phased this out in the 2007 edition. The Gear setup is pretty low end. Sora Shifters, Tiagra Rear mech, and shimano standard everything else. However you do get what you pay... Read review

Advantages: Fast, accurate
Disadvantages: expensive, Uncomfortable grip, quite heavy, ugly

...I have shot many high end guns in my career. I have shot and/or owned Vision Impulses, Timmys, Angels, Autococker (electro and manual), Egos, ions,Dm5 and mech 'mags. I play tourney ball and some of the characteristics I look for in a gun are different than what others look for. I am sorry to all you hardcore wdp angel lovers that are out there, but I was not very pleased with my first use of an angel and the future few times i used it. As usual WDP made another angel which had not improved majorly. I have used both angels g7 and speed, i have not been impressed with either. For the price it is not worth buying since you could get an ego05 (the finest, lightest, faster gun) made by planet eclipse. The speed is similar to oher top end markers (around 24bps max). The grip is really uncomfortable and does not fit the hand well... Read review
