Planet Eclipse EGO

[Andrew Orde]

Looks like lanet eclipse just came out with a new gun. The ego. http://www.planeteclipse.com/site/eNews.asp?newsID=76 Discuss.

[Caleb98]

meh...kinda old news. Looks cool.




:tup:

[Hmmm Donut]

yeah old news.

I think it looks just horrible. It has bad milling and anno does not appeal to me.

:tdown:

[|GB|]

Looks alright. It would look better with a longer reg.

[DirtMcgirt]

i think it has a lot of potential. eclipse makes high quality markers and parts.

they certainly aren't reinventing the wheel here though.

[STO Balla 22]

I agree that it has the potential to be a nice marker, but still, what happened to the awesome milling work that Planet Eclipse usually does? The milling is very nondescript, something I'd expect to see on a Spyder clone.

[Forest Spyder]

I think Eclipse was a little late on the whole Timmy-knockoff fad.

I mean let's face it.

Nemesis
The One
OGI 03 (fairly similar, except spring return ram)
Raven Primal
AM Diadem

and now, added to that list, the Eclipse EGO

[Andrew Orde]

all very good points, but i have not known Planet to make anything but the best. I noticed that this was old news right after i posted but on a search i couldnt find anything so i figured id at least make something. Depending on how much this is i may look into buying one. It sounds pretty good to me but it dostnt look too impressive. Half half block cocker and half BKO imo

[f2f4]

I actually like it. :tup:
Not as nice as say, the G7, but prolly much cheaper. The milling is a little "meh", though.

Hahahahaha.

The One and O3 aren't a Timmy clone, neither is the Primal or the Diadem.

So uh yeah thats only three clones, the Nemesis, the NME, and the Ego.

[10-brink]

I like the milling, its not too flashy or anything

[pbhippie ben]

Meh i seh.

[pbdan9190]

A little old news, but oh well. I don't think it looks all that bad. The first time I saw it reminded me of the Pimp.

[XxSCRiotxX]

It will probably be renamed the Planet Eclipse Overprice shortly.

Whatever you say :rolleyes:

[Andrew Orde]

whats the price tag on it?

[amzng_spyderman]

so, it's pretty much a timmy with an e-blade? i want it. i don't care how much it costs. i need to have that.

sarcasim i hope.

[amzng_spyderman]

why would it be? IMO e-blade > viking, dm4, and anything else i've ever shot. but i'm beginning to hate the pickiness of my cocker. why wouldn't this be perfect for me?

[Downfall08]

I think it looks pretty good. Ugly reg though. Hopefully it wont be too much either , but then again, this is eclipse

[Andrew Orde]

MSRP $1250

Found it for $1050 I want it bad...very bad...time to work some overtime!

[Canadia_PBaller]

Looks nice, and it's real small......well, so the pictures indicate. Comes with the new PE barrel...I think it could be real good. I might think about getting one when I go for a new gat this summer.

[amzng_spyderman]

my critique on the looks...

-needs a longer reg. definitely. i paintchopped the reg so it's longer, and it looks much better.
-the top of the body needs to be milled so it's not as boxy.
-the top tube needs more milling on the side, and the bottom tube needs a little less.
-the eye cover is fugly. give it a jewel or something.
-it'd be cool if the pull pin was an eclipse "e," or would look better if it was taller than it is wide.
-feedneck doesn't match the body well.
-the back of the bolt could be machined so it has the same grooves as the body.

dont make opinions on a gun until you shoot it. ive shoot quite a few gun in my time, (i work at SC Village, and do chrono a lot) ive shoot timmys, angels, cockers, and a Vikings.... when i went to San Diago for the Commanders Cup and shot this thing, and i would have to say its my fav gun. its one of my top 3 fav guns of all time.
1: Karnavor with E2
2:Ego
3:Nerve

[robdamanii]

The milling reminds me of an Evil Pimp Kit.

Bleh.

I'll bet this thing is insanely fast though...

Exactly. It's your opinion. Some people don't like short guns (length, or height wise) so they already know they won't like it.

[PMI_Guy]

Im getting tired of all these guns that look like they just came out of the paper shredder.

[BSP-PROWLER]

Timmys (cough, cough)

[I.A.O.A.B]

bah, my timmy still mows lawns and muppets

[QuiksilverMV]

looks like a timmy and a cocker combined imo
