Planet Eclipse ETHA3 and ETHA3M
TH3 N3XT L3V3L!
ETHA3 and ETHA3M (2022):
Both markers got released by Planet Eclipse in a Facebook Livestream on 14.04.2022. First presented in 2011, the ETHA series is now entering its long-awaited 3rd generation. The fundamental idea has not changed, the ETHA3 is a robust and reliable all-rounder. Whether Woodland, Just for Fun, tournament/classic sports, or what else there are for paintball variants. In all paintball situations, the new ETHA3 knows how to inspire.
What catches the eye with both markers have a more streamlined design, a newly designed eye cover, and, most important, a quick-release backcap. With the ETHA3M, which is based on the EMEK 100, there is now also the first mechanical variant within the ETHA family. In contrast to the EMEK 100, the ETHA3M already has the FL-3 Way Valve, the POPS Bottom Donkey, lighter trigger spring, and a two-piece 14.5" shaft barrel system ex works.
