The original Etha was developed specifically to allow access to the Eclipse marker range by those on a budget. It was robust and reliable, solidly constructed and has provided years of honest service for thousands of players around the world.

But now it is time for the Etha to evolve. To not only be reliable but also refined. Not just robust, but feature-packed. The Etha2 is here to lead the way. To show others what is possible with creative and innovative engineering solutions. It’s here to disrupt the establishment and dominate the market. With features never before seen in this sector in a package that handles and performs like nothing before it.

Yet on the field its stretched-out grip spacing, lightweight and natural balance make it easy to maneuver, natural to aim and amazing fun to shoot.

At last, it’s time for the Etha to step out of the shadows, and begin its Ethalution.

Performance

The performance of this marker stands out from the original Etha paintball marker thanks to the upgradeable option. The sufficient grip spacing allows the user to hold the marker more efficiently making it easy to shoot. The comprehensive construction and accuracy ensure an easy precise hit. Its firing performance is also improved by the spring return bolt system. The bolt system has a rubber extension that prevents the ball from clipping by cushioning it as it moves through the barrel.

The marker features an SL3 regulator which controls the tank pressure variations. The user changes the pressure controlling the firepower of the marker. The two-piece barrel enables the user to shoot using varying modes. This is a unique feature that makes this marker stand out to its users as it gives them the option of adjusting the shooting mode to fit the type and style of the game.

The Planet Eclipse Etha 2 also makes an efficient marker as it is both air and battery effective. It offers a number of shots with minimal breakage as users would like. Its ability to be adjusted to enable the user to choose the pressure to fire with gives the shooter control over the marker based on how they want to perform in the game. The dual-stage acceleration used by the bolt ensures the ball moves smoothly through the barrel when at a low speed.

Convenience

As an upgrade of the original Etha paintball marker, the Etha 2 meets the convenience expected by most snipers. The hose-less air transfer system makes it easy for the user to access the tank for a refill. The POPS ASA assembly makes it easy for the user to fill up the tank and get back to the game. This is because of the on and off switch that detaches and attaches the tank with ease.

The marker is also simple to use thanks to the spring return which sends the bolt back to its place after each shot. This is a highly durable marker to give the user convenient years of service. The marker achieves this with the nylon composite materials in its feed neck, grip frame, and eye cover.

Its construction makes it lightweight and comfortable making it convenient for beginners as they find it easy to operate the marker. Advanced players also find this convenient since they can run around with the marker without being put down by its weight. Its weight also feels comfortable on the body of the user.

Design

The Etha 2 has been redesigned to give it better performance and awesome features than the original Etha. The nylon composite body is constructed to endure the toughest environment. The internal parts are constructed of aircraft grade aluminum adding to the strength of this marker by strong and efficient firing. This makes one of the toughest markers available and it can easily take anything thrown at it without breaking.

It is also driven by Gamma Core spool valve that enables the marker to withstand all weather conditions. Users can use it irrespective of the condition as it works even during winter. It is designed with a strong frame that connects to the body without wires and a foregrip. The foregrip is easy to access and removes easily without any tool.

Additional features

The evolution of Etha came with great additional features and added advantage. The original marker was louder and had a kickback which is not the case with the Etha 2. Users can use this quiet marker without worrying over their opponent catching them. The minimal kickback is also okay for both beginners and advanced shooters. The reduced kickback also makes shooting a fun experience as it facilitates aiming.

The 14.5-inch barrel of this marker can also be upgraded for better performance. The .68 caliber marker enables shots to travel in a straight line and cover a long distance for the user’s convenience. This gives the user great advantage over their opponent. It features an ambidextrous LED indicator to show the shooting mode. The LED screen monitors ramping, debounce, semi-automatic and rate of fire in major tournaments.

When it comes to cleaning, the unit is easy to take apart. The user can then access the inner parts easily for quick cleaning and maintenance.
