When it comes to purchasing paintball markers, there are many options available today. Two popular models among paintball aficionados include the Ego 11 and the Planet Eclipse Geo 2.1 paintball gun.

Both of these guns are good options for those who are looking for a quality paintball marker at a reasonable price. Still, there are pros and cons associated with both guns. Therefore, before making any purchase, it is important to learn more about what each of these paintball guns has to offer.

Ego 11 paintball guns, which are manufactured by Planet Eclipse, have many pros to offer. For example, Planet Eclipse has taken steps to control the speed of the bolt in the marker so it can better handle brittle tournament paint. This also improves the feel of the gun while also reducing the sound signature.

Unfortunately, creating a more gentle acceleration and deceleration system also has its drawbacks. Namely, the tradeoff for a smoother feel is a slower cyclic speed. This, in turn, slows down the rate of fire. To address this issue, the paintball gun features twin flow control devices that allow you to tune the speed, rate and feel of the marker. The Ego 11 also features the Push On Purge System, or POPS system, which allows the marker to gas up and de-gas in just a fraction of a second and with very little effort.

Some additional features of the Ego 11 include:
* New, ergonomic frame design with a higher grip position
* ROF indicators
* Refill counters
* Audible beeper
* Timers
* Ability to connect to a PC (with the use of the optional E-Portal2 kit)

Clearly, the fact that users can adjust the Ego 11 paintball gun to suit their individual needs is the greatest benefit this marker has to offer. This also makes it a good choice for those who know what they are looking for in a gun. For those who do not need this same level of adjustability, the Planet Eclipse Geo 2.1 paintball gun is a good option.

This marker comes with a spring-load drive core, which prevents air loss on the firing stroke and previously wasted air in the valve chamber. It also provides improved efficiency and faster recharge of the valve chamber by ensuring the chamber is fully sealed prior to refilling upon bolt return stroke.

The Geo 2.1 also offers an SL3 in-line regulator which is more accurate, consistent and provides faster recharge than in prior versions. It will also allow the Geo 2.1 to function with LP, MP or HP tanks equally with no variance in performance or velocity.In short, the Ego 11 and Planet Eclipse Geo 2.1 paintball guns are both good options for those who are looking for a quality paintball marker. Before making a purchase, however, it is always smart to do a bit of shopping around in order to find the marker that is right for you.
