Planet Eclipse EMEK 100 Mechanical Paintball Marker - Black

I got tired of having to worry about batteries and constant maintenance on my Gog Extcy to keep it running without problems. So I went out and read about the Emek and fell in love with everything I heard about it. I can attest to all of the claims of it shooting super smooth, being very reliable, and having amazing accuracy out of the box. I am just using the stock barrel on it and I can easily keep up with my friend's Emek that has a custom barrel.The gun shoots far better than my Gog Extcy in terms of accuracy, smoothness, and loudness. I haven't had a single problem with this gun in the 4 outings I've used it. I love the fact I don't need to stress about my battery not being charged. My Gog Extcy has been out of commission due to a hose on the inside coming lose, so in the meantime I was using my trusty Tippmann 98 until I could fix it. I got fed up with having to deal with the Extcy and the crap performance of an old Tippmann so I went out and bought an Emek after running into a couple guys at my field who were using and loving them. After going from a Tippmann to an Emek the difference in EVERYTHING is night and day. The weight, accuracy, smoothness of the shot, recoil, and noise were all vastly improved. This thing is basically a Tippmann 2.0. If you are just starting out and would like a massive upgrade over the Tippmanns that you are most likely renting, go ahead and buy yourself an Emek.I am using this gun with a 48/45 Empire tank and just a crappy gravity-fed loader (I have a PAL loader on order atm) and the stock barrel. I am seriously considering buying the Deadlywind Null carbon fiber barrel for the weight savings and cool factor. This gun is super light, as advertised, but not in a bad way. When I first read the info on this gun I saw where they mentioned the gun is made out of a "composite" and i immediately figured the gun would have a cheap build quality. Fortunately I was wrong, and the quality of the gun actually surprised me. The body is made out of some type of "reinforced polymer" or something, and it is amazing. It has a hardness that is way above regular plastic and is very close to metal. Overall it does not feel cheap or anything of the sort, and this is coming from someone that usually has higher standards than average.Overall, this gun is a must-buy if you want a mechanical marker that has the shot quality and accuracy of a gun that costs much more.

I bought to upgrade longer range accuracy -I have had a played with a couple TippManns (98 and A5) and they are great - like AK47s - you have to really try to make them stop or fail.BUTI have a DEER problem in my backyard and they eat all the shrubs and I can't just shoot em' all even with an air rifle which is not deadly but probably causes more damage than desired as a deterrent.Well the EMEK 1000 (it is ok with the stock barrel and BETTER with an upgrade) is accurate enough to hit them at up to 50yrds effectively.After an aimed shot or two and hitting one - I then let loosed as fast as I can pull the trigger to hit any remaining animals.It is fun and it is effective. The deer are learning that this yard is not a FREE salad bar.I guess it works well on the paintball field too.It is more accurate than my Tippmanns (even with thier upgraded barrels) and even more so with the upgraded barrel (Deadlywind Null Barrel 16"0).I found a gravity hopper worked fine but did take and shake to get continuous feed now and again.The PAL hopper for abt $20 works like a charm. No sticking, works as fast as I can pull the trigger !

So far this gun has been incredible. Very consistent velocity and precision. If i hold the gun still while i shoot the balls come out literally one after another in a straight line. Also the 20$ pal loader works great. Easily good enough for 10bps. The body is made of grn (glass fiber reinforced nylon) which is in many ways stronger and more bulletproof than steel. You could drive a unimog over the emek and it wouldnt have a scratch.

I read a ton of reviews for the Emek and did a lot of research before making my purchase and I must say it has lived up to the hype! By far the best mec marker I have ever used, and I would say overall most fun marker I have ever used. This marker is great for all level players from just starting to advanced. The maintenance is very simple, and honestly not something that you have to worry about because these little guys are tanks. I have now put mine through almost a full season of recball with all sorts of weather conditions from cold and rainy, to blistering sunny and not had a single issue. Easy to clean, easy to use, fun to shoot.

I really like this marker. I just started playing paintball and my dad bought this gun for me for me as a late birthday present and its reliable shoots well and is a great gun for its price would defiantly reccomend it for begginner players.

I seen some reviews saying it's not compatible with the PAL loader. The marker I received was very much compatible, and it's plug and play, no adapter or hose needed. Only drawback is it's COMPRESSED AIR ONLY. I haven't been to the field with it yet but I'm leaving 5 stars for now

I have wanted an Emek since they came out in 2019 (maybe 2018), but didnt go paintballing enough to justify buying another marker. Now that I go more often i saved up the cash and bought the emek. I only used it once but it worked fantastic. Everything you have ever read or heard about it is true. I do have one BIG problem though and its the price. When the Emek came out it was below $250, a steal. Eventually the price went up to $250, still the best marker for that price. BUT NOW, i paid $270 for mine. I am now seeing them go to 300. The emek's draw (imo) was its pricepoint. The emek is not worth $300. PE needs to get back to $250-$270. Thankfully i was able to get in at the $270. Imagine buying an Emek at $300 and it doesnt even include the PALs hopper...

Came in great condition. great gun.
