Planet Eclipse is single handedly saving the sport of Paintball with the emek/Etha line. Seeing a lot of fields switching to the Emeks as rentals, which is awesome because the rental players are using the same markers that a lot of the typical open play players are using. It's a reliable platform that shoots amazingly well. Just picked up an Etha 3M myself. other than the foregrip bring a little thicker than I would like, it's a fantastic marker. there's nothing out there that is better for the money. I'd argue there is nothing better that is almost twice the price point
I’ve been out of the game for about 9 years now but when I sold stuff the Axe was the Best Buy out there. Glad to see mechanical stuff making a comeback though. This is a hell of a marker for $400.
And I agree that having mid/starter guns be around this price is a really cool thing. I think my first gun was a piranha with an eframe haha. I do miss my SP ION haha. good times.
I hate to say it but I think my first gun was an e dragon... my dad acquired it for me young, thought I was on top of the world with it... in the age of tipmans and spiders I was still able to play an enjoy the game. Shockers and minis started to really over take me as I matured.
I know you probably won’t see this but i love paintball and you got me into it. I never had a dad and I have looked up to you for years. I am 14 now and want to thank you for being there. Thank you.
Pick one up for my little brother, absolutely love it. Tell you what they are the best thing to do is get any clickable pen, cut the bring on the pain to the correct length and then swap it. You will get such a light trigger pull it is beautiful
I upgraded my Emek into what's effectively an Etha 3M before there was such a thing. I spent way more than $400 doing it too. That makes the 3M a steal at that price. I haven't played with my old Automags since either. For what's effectively an entry level to mid range marker these days, it blows the doors off of what was once considered high end.
Just won one on ebay for $325, I'm excited. My main is a dsr+ mech with all the free flow goodies and im pro kit and I'm rebuilding my ion as a gas thru mech, which before I took it all apart was one of my favorite mech guns that I've shot. Mech ftw!
Went from a fully decked Emek to the etha 3M first thing I did was swap out the trigger for an adjustable one, freak barrel kit and I have to say it’s a monster… I can easily walk the trigger for a constant 10bpb
yo I was waiting to see if you would review this marker. I was leaning towards the emek but then saw this. Its got the upgrades I wanted to put on the emek haha. Thanks for the vid man
Bro imo get the 3M I have a emek I fully built and wish this was around before hand lol. Emek is solid but those little extras I had to add make it a complete package
@@xfeelthisx yeah thats what im leaning towards. But part of me loves the hands on and customization the emek has. Maybe ill grab both and see how i like them haha.
Ended up getting one of these with the Inception EZ PZ on/off, Inception Secret pin and the Liquid PB Tension trigger. Absolutely perfect. I highly recommend getting the Secret pin for the FL 3 way and the Tension trigger is the only one made for Emeks (and 3M, same thing) that has externally adjustable spring tension (hence the name). It also takes the movement out of the firing pin. Inception also has the FLE bodies for the 3's now...so tempting.
Liquid pb tension trigger huh? Had never heard of it and went and looked it up and wow! Seems better than all the others! The side by side bearing video is wild.
Man I have $400 in my autococker and it still leaks and is never ready to play with. I’m just gonna get with the times and go with a modern gun. This Etha 3M is looking really attractive at that price point
I was not sure at first, but when you mentioned I can shoot it on any planet I was sold. Now I just need to convince Alon to let me bring it to Mars 😜.
For what you would have to d ish out on upgrades for an Emek 100, you would pay a lot more and still not have a better bolt release. The only thing the 3M needs is a better trigger. Glad they got rid of the PAL feedneck.
Definitely makes me think about selling my mech CS2 for one of these and having a bunch of extra cash haha...but the GC Pro is awesome, the ergos of the CS2 are better than anything, quality is too good.
Hey now, I had a Shutter with a Boo-Yah e-trigger. I loved that thing. I was shooting further against Angel's with it. But this also woodsball. Speedball i had no chance. Was a lot lighter than my PMI 3/VM 68. But in all this 3m I really looking awesome. I am looking for a companion to my A5 for a back up.
Sigh still no Etek 6, guess i'll just polish up my Etek5. Wish PE didn't just outright give up on the poppet valve guns (yes there's the LV series but that's also way more expensive than the Etek line was).
@@PaintballRuinedMyLife also I had so many good shots on people but my gun and hopper werent able to keep up with the speed I would shoot 70% of the time but it did have a kick I'll give it that. Now I'm thinking of getting an Etha 3M for my lady for a starter with an IR2 Hopper and get the ramper so you don't need to wiggle the balls in it to shoot it's a game changer for 13 bucks and it's easy to insert OMG!
i would get the etha 3m but there was a emek for 299 on sale with the protoyz speedster loader and shaft 4 14 inch barrel upgrade for the price of the gun itself. the fl 3 way valve is cool but a its a mech marker im not looking for speed and max bps with it i just wanna get the pops upgrade and the low profile hopper riser, basicly the same gun after that
emek with a 3 way, and pops puts you at the $400. worth it if you dont have and emek. but I already out a 3 way, exalt trigger and cs1 thumbscrew so im happy.
The Emek/Etha platform is an amazing marker for the price. The Etha3M is not worth the scratch if you already have an Emek you have upgraded. The tooless back cap is not a big upgrade from the original, especially with all the available 3d printed back caps available today. Most of us have a GOOD barrel system. The actual Etha3M trigger is not much of an upgrade with only the one adjustment point. BUT if you do not already have an Emek, the POPS and FL3 are worth the extra 100 cost. Dead on reliable, easy to clean and service, accurate, the platform is the best mech we've seen since the original Cocker almost 30 years ago. Tippmanns are probably as reliable, but damn, servicing them is no picnick. And they will not be as easy on paint without MANY mods. My issues with the Etha3M basically come down to it being a "hot rod." Those of us who enjoy the platform have already done the trigger/POPS/barrel/FL3 Valve upgrades. And the loss of the PALS system is a bit of a downer, considering the PALS gets you out on the field with a very capable NO BATTERY AT ALL SYSTEM. Especially for mech. Love my Emek, no need for me to upgrade. But if you are not already fielding an Emek, the new Etha3M is definitely the way to go.
Is it worth it to put a $200 barrel kit on a $200 gun? The stock barrel on my g5 is horrible and am interested on a barrel kit. In your opinion, and with performance in mind, is it worth it to put lipstick on a pig? Love the videos
3800 fill from what CI tank? Also, what's the output on your reg? How was the barrel to paint match? These are all factors that would have to be taken into consideration.
You sold it after barely a day's worth of play? Brand new regs take time break in. Clean the bolt out of the box and re-lube. What size is your tank? Silly to sell without trying to address it.
I like my electronic etha 2 more than my cs2. Even with an after market trigger on my cs2 the etha 2 trigger is just so good. Rate of fire seem to be the same and my etha is a bit more air efficient. Plus I only play semi auto so I don't need all the ramping settings on the cs2 and my hopper keeps up just fine so if there is a difrence in the eyes I couldn't tell you. Etha is my main gun. I bring my cs2 just to flex and show I use the etha because I like it.
So I used be jelly of the electric Spyders. I see they still make it but it’s the 2012 fenix now. 2012 is a little old. Would this still be usable in todays paintball world? Is it worth buying? Can you review it and compare to the paintball markers of today?
They are out-dated, not made very well. But cheap, plenty of parts out there. I personally would say don't waste your money. Find a used all stock Emek for under 300.
It's a factory hot rod Emek. Just like a GT500, ZL1, etc. Things that most of us have already done to our Emek100. It's a great value for those just getting into mech or Emek shooting, but if you've already upgraded your emek, you're not getting anything special. The quick pull bolt is useless in real world use, and an aluminum feedneck losing the PALS is a downgrade if you like staying fully battery free. But the FL3, Shaft barrel, POPS alone are worth the extra 100 over the Emek. I'll keep my EMEK with FL3 and secret pin, pops, 3d skull back cap, your recommended EMACH trigger and whatever AC barrel I feel like using that day. I'll outshoot any loader slower than a Rotor anyway, but then again, MECH! save paint, save money. Can't go wrong with either, but the the Etha3M is the best mech value in paintball, possibly ever!
14in. Compared to the stock Emek barrel it’s much more accurate and definitely way quieter. Not really a noticeable difference between the CP and the stock Etha 3 barrel though.
Does the Etha 3 or the Etha 3 electric (I don’t know if they are the same or not) have the same features but with a double finger trigger. (I personally just like being able to if needed to use two instead of just one)
Does anyone else remember that video of a dude shooting a Spyder Shutter double trigger at a trashcan fast AF from back in the day? That video sold me on that garbage gun, but all I could afford was a Spyder TL. Such terrible guns, even back then. Just absolute blenders.
Not much difference really. Trigger shape, aluminum feedneck, tool-less bolt removal. Kind sucks that a new one just came out, but it really not much different.
They are different as far as size and ergonomics. Having owned both, I dislike the grips on the M170R and the whole marker feels too tiny and light. The Emek is way more comfortable to shoot, but that's just me. You may like the feel of the M170R more.
Generally however I just shot a batch of .691+ sized Evil at an event a week ago. Big paint is still out there and you are better off just generally going with a larger bore for a stock barrel. The Gamma Core is also very good at saving air even with an overbore.
@@williswoods2245 Yes, I am always amazed at how long even a 3k fill lasts with my Emek. And I can shoot down into less than 1k nearing 0 on the gauge before drop off and sputtering, it's amazing.
@@PaintballRuinedMyLife Same here, I wanted to like the M170R but it's too small. The back of the wrap around grips flap over when I would grab it, whole thing was just too light and small feeling for my taste.
IMO this thing is WAY overpriced. I bought an emek a couple years ago and go the hair valve, fang trigger, feed neck clamp upgrade and red back piece for the bolt for well under $300. Only thing left would be to do a pops ASA.
The Emek 100 is still being sold, as a 'no-frills' and cheaper option. The Etha 3M is being offered for those who want an upgraded Emek at a bargain. Plus PE's running a promo where for an extra $40 you can add the Speedster loader with the Etha 3M. Tons of value there.
@@thejayster2849 yeah I’ve been wanting to get into mech ball but I think I might just pump out a emek with all the custom stuff that you can buy for it

POPs and 3 way valve upgrades alone cover the cost difference between the original emek and the 3mek.

If you have obscenely small fingers like myself, the upgraded valve turns it into an uncapped semi beast
Can you get 2 fingers onto the trigger? That’s rad

Like me, I have Geo4 and always use my stock Emek. 😬
Does the etha have the option to buy additional matching barrel backs with different sizes?
Yep, the Planet Eclipse shaft 5 barrel backs work with the tip.
so for the asa pushed out is on? new to the sport and looking to buy one.
Pushed in is on, push the button on the side and it pops out turning the air off.
Should I trade my mini gs for one of these?

Have you played with your custom meteor autococker lately ?
I have not, unfortunately I had to sell it awhile back. At some point I have to sell stuff or I’d be left with piles of paintball guns.
Etha 2 vs etha 3. Just bought a etha 2 for 500. I know it was cheaper back in the day. But comparisons?
Not much difference really. Trigger shape, aluminum feedneck, tool-less bolt removal. Kind sucks that a new one just came out, but it really not much different.
Do you think that the super starchy customs double trigger kit for the emek will fit on the etha 3?
Yeah I don’t see what not, it’s mainly just a trigger. It should fit just the Etha3m just like the Emek.
Does anyone know if there’s a aluminum or metal body kit for the Etha 3M
Inception designs make a few.
does anyone know if they make a double trigger for the etha 3m? Similar to what the EMEK has ?
I've shot 11 balls with the Etha 3 but guess how fast you're single finger can pull
Etha 3 electric just dropped today. Idk if they’re gonna make a mechanic frame for it….
If you want both gtek is the option but i dont see them making a mech frame for etha 3.
You can buy spare parts direct from Eclipse though, just call and ask
They won’t be.

Soon as I get one Im getting started
Justin buy it for him so he could make a video on it lol
How would you compare the Etha3m to the M170R?
What are you most interested in and what is most important to you in a marker?
They are different as far as size and ergonomics. Having owned both, I dislike the grips on the M170R and the whole marker feels too tiny and light. The Emek is way more comfortable to shoot, but that's just me. You may like the feel of the M170R more.
I had a spyder shutter lol
Dunno why PE still using 689 as standard shaft. Bals are way smaller today then few years ago.
Yeah they probably could size down a little
.689 you mean? And that overbore is just fine.
Generally however I just shot a batch of .691+ sized Evil at an event a week ago. Big paint is still out there and you are better off just generally going with a larger bore for a stock barrel. The Gamma Core is also very good at saving air even with an overbore.

@@virtual_balboa Heard there were mods out for the Fla 3 way valve
There are probably some people cutting stuff or hacking stuff up, not that I know of though. There’s nothing for sale for sure .
There is the Inception Designs “secret pin.” I highly recommend it.
@@williswoods2245 this if for the 3way right where do I get it
IMO this thing is WAY overpriced. I bought an emek a couple years ago and go the hair valve, fang trigger, feed neck clamp upgrade and red back piece for the bolt for well under $300. Only thing left would be to do a pops ASA.
It's also not my main marker. So I have the Fibur barrel with freak inserts, and the stock 170R barrel leftover for when friends want to play.
170r/emek
Quit capping 🤣
Cool ads

You bet, just post your credit card numbers here to pay for shipping.

Is this going to overtake the emeks throne
The Emek 100 is still being sold, as a 'no-frills' and cheaper option. The Etha 3M is being offered for those who want an upgraded Emek at a bargain. Plus PE's running a promo where for an extra $40 you can add the Speedster loader with the Etha 3M. Tons of value there.
@@thejayster2849 yeah I’ve been wanting to get into mech ball but I think I might just pump out a emek with all the custom stuff that you can buy for it
@@mymomhatespaintball4240 I think you’d be better off going with the 3MEK unless you’re talking third-party upgrades
@@TheTomphson yeah I wanted to put like the twstr body on it or one of the third party bodies on it and a few of the stanchy upgrades on it
