Planet Eclipse Etha3M Mechanical Paintball Marker – .68 Cal

The Planet Eclipse Etha3M is a premier, high-performance mechanical paintball marker engineered for players seeking speed, reliability, and smooth shooting without electronics. Built around the world-renowned Gamma Core spool valve drivetrain, the Etha3M combines low operating pressure, tour-proven efficiency, and sleek Glass Reinforced Nylon (GRN) modular construction for ultimate mechanical dominance.

Overview

Redefining mechanical performance, the Etha3M features major upgrades over previous generations, including a quick-release back cap for tool-less bolt removal, an ultra-crisp FL 3-way valve, and a lighter trigger return spring paired with an aluminum single-finger flat trigger. Operating at a gentle 135 PSI, its 3-stage bolt acceleration handles fragile tournament-grade paintballs with unmatched consistency and soft-touch delivery.

Designed with a hoseless internal air-transfer system, integrated SL4 inline regulator, and push-button POPS ASA, the Etha3M eliminates external lines for clean ergonomics and effortless gassing. Outfitted with a low-rise aluminum clamping feedneck, Deftek offset feed system, and a 14.5-inch 2-piece Shaft 5 barrel with fast Autococker threading, this marker is built to perform in all mechanical leagues and scenario games.
