On April 3rd, Kingman will be releasing two new paintball hand guns mainly intended for use in training atmospheres. The Kingman Eraser and Chaser use 11mm (.43 caliber) paintballs and 12 gram CO2 cartridges as their air source.

Kingman Training applies the latest patent pending paintball technology into this new life-sized marker. The KT marker delivers a true simulated weight and feel, comparable to a real hand pistol. Each “magazine” holds 10 paintballs and shoots up to 300 feet per second. Each 12 gram CO2 cartridge can shoot 4 “magazines”.

The KT marker will provide flawless performance, with increased accuracy and distance. This marker is perfect for recreational simulated environments and Military, Security, or S.W.A.T. training practice. -KingmanTraining.com

Kingman plans on releasing the Chaser and Eraser in 2009. No specific date is know at this time.

Compared to real hand guns, the Kingman Chaser and Eraser are now, most likely, the most "life-like" paintball guns in the consumer market.

It's hard to believe that Planet Eclipse already released their 5th generation paintball gun, the Ego 9. In 2004, the first Eclipse Ego debuted and captured the attention of most professional players and high-end gun users. Planet Eclipse built a gun around weight, air efficiency, size, ergonomics, and accuracy. Over the last 4 years, Planet Eclipse has been making some very aggressive moves in the high-end paintball gun market. The Ego came in and swept away "old technology" in paintball.

Right now the leading manufacturers in the high-end gun market are Dye/Proto (DM9/PM8), Smart Parts (Shocker), and Planet Eclipse (Ego). Say goodbye to WDP (Angels) and WGP (Autocockers), they will soon become antiques. The Eclipse Ego can be partially blamed for this but good riddance. Planet Eclipse has been building their guns around the same solid foundations of reliability, performance, light-weight'ness and simplicity. You can expect the same features, and more, with the new Ego 9.

MSRP: $1499.99 ($1,250.00)

*Update 9/20/08
The DM9 is now available for purchase!

Dye has released a Youtube video preview of the new DM9 paintball gun. The Dye DM9 is now the lightest gun in the Dye Matrix family. Hyper 3 regulator, new trigger design, new milling, new eye technology and more. The Dye DM9 has been announced for release at the World Cup in October. Watch the vid and don't covet too much.

You can almost see the brilliance coming from the DLX Luxe, Smart Parts newly manufactured high end paintball gun. The DLX Luxe (pronounced "Lukes") has already debuted at the NPPL Huntington Beach event in March, catching the attention of most of the paintball industry. Other than its shilling beauty, the Luxe is loaded with all of today's fancy technology, putting it ABOVE the "high-end" gun class and into its own luxury brand. Sure there might be a lot of "hype" built around this gun right now, but you must admit that it's p.i.m.p. The Luxe was designed to perform for tournament play, keeping in mind every player's need for general maintenance, cleaning, and configuration while under little to no time.

How much?
