Oliver Lang und Virtue Paintball LLC unterschrieben einen mehrjährigen Werbevertrag. In der nachfolgenden Pressemeldung kann man einiges über den Deal erfahren:Oliver Lang to use Virtue boards[img]../newsimages/produktnews2003/2006-03-15-top-ollie2_390.jpg[/img]Virtue Paintball is proud to announce the multi-year signing of pro paintball player Oliver Lang to be a Virtue sponsored player. Virtue solidifies its position as paintball’s #1 upgrade board with the recent addition of Oliver Lang as Virtue’s top pro paintball player. Lang will be competing professionally in both the NPPL, NXL & Millennium leagues using a Virtue board in his DM6.“My gun has never shot so fast and consistent in semi mode like it does with my Virtue board. I love the boards.“ said Oliver.“Virtue is the best upgrade you can put in your gun, so it's only natural the best player in the world should be using Virtue,“ said Virtue president Michael Newman. „Oliver has had the opportunity to use a variety of boards in his guns, from stock boards to other competing brands, but in the end he chose Virtue.“Oliver, who has won an astounding 14 Pro Series Titles and 32 Pro events, is one of many pro players upgrading their guns with Virtue as the 2006 season begins. Lang may be most well known for his role on Dynasty, but he left paintball’s top team at the start of the season to work for Dye and play for the Ironmen. Now Oliver will be using a Virtue board in all his markers as he helps build the Ironmen into a top contender.“Aside from his unparalleled abilities on the field, what impressed me about Oliver is his excitement about using Virtue. A lot of pro players we work with, just put Virtue in their gun and go play, but Oliver wanted to know all about changing settings and customizing his Virtue board,” said Virtue’s Christian Williams. “I never knew Oliver was the kind of player that likes to tinker with his gear, and thanks to adjustability of Virtue he can make changes and customizations on the fly without ever having to open his grip frame.”Virtue looks forward to working with Oliver in the future and providing him with the best upgrade boards in paintball. Other Virtue pro teams and players include Nicky Vegas, Legacy, New York Xtreme, Vision, plus some other soon-to-be announced big signings in the coming weeks.Virtue offers the only product in paintball that will Upgrade the Engine of your paintball gun. Replacing your gun’s bolt or barrel will only get you so far. With a Virtue board you can change the entire way your gun performs, and just like Oliver Lang, customize your gun’s settings to your liking.Virtue upgrades are available for all the major markers, including the Dye & Proto Matrix, Intimidator, Ego, Shocker, Ion and more. Check out VirtuePaintball.com, or better yet, visit your favorite paintball shop of choice and get some Virtue in your gun.

Planet Eclipse bringt mit der SL66 eine neue Tuning Variante der Ego als XSV Team Edition raus. In der Beschreibung wird die SL66 mit den Tuningvarianten bekannter Sportwagen verglichen: „Das ist der Integra Type R oder das M3CSL Equivalent der Ego 06“. Die komplette Beschreibung samt Features und Bilder findet ihr hier im Anschluss:This is the first true “Pro” Edition Ego. It has been designed from the ground up to be the lightest, tightest Ego ever produced. This is the Integra Type R or M3CSL equivalent of the Ego 06, where almost every component has been optimized for performance, weight, balance and size.The attention to detail is unparalleled on any previous Ego. For example, the front regulator mount is 2mm smaller in diameter, just to shave off extra grams. The in-line regulator is devoid of sculpted finger grooves in order to make the body as thin as possible and yet retain structural integrity. The new swivel in-line reg now has a shorter bottom piece in order to have a longer and larger down-stream regulated volume without increasing weight.On the frame, the rail has been cut down to the bare minimum; to reduce overall gun height, as well as save weight. The new On/Off purge system now mounts so that it butts right up to the bottom of the grips. The frame also shaves off the weight by reducing the thickness of the guard, reducing the profiling of the snatch grip area, removing more metal from inside the upper section of the trigger guard, removing metal from the inside of the frame where it wasn’t necessary, and also deleting the magnetic return mechanism, as the choice of the Pros is spring only trigger return. A larger, flatter trigger makes the marker more responsive by being lighter, with a profile that makes it more comfortable to shoot with more varied hand positions and placements.Inside the frame there is the Ego 6 circuit board with 3 ramp modes, capped and un-capped semi, as well as an uncapped training mode. The new Ego 6 debounce settings make the marker quicker to shoot and easier to set up than any of the 2005 software versions.The body is machined all over using complex 3D surface machining to get the weight down to the bare minimum, yet retain the classic flowing Eclipse lines. This is by-far the lightest body Eclipse has created – for any marker.A new bolt system incorporating no retaining screw, an aluminium plunger, smaller spring and a stainless pin reduces mass in both the cycling system and the overall marker, is open-faced and has a slotted inlet for high flow. It helps reduce cyclic kick and blends seamlessly with the read of the gun. No protruding bolt parts make the sides of the marker easier to clean after a side-shot.The new C-Lever clamping feed, XSV machined logo, wasted-down front cap, 2-piece shaft and an exclusive XSV navigation console and boot-up screen round out this complete package.Crucially the SL66 is 14% lighter than a stock Ego 6, and 0.2” shorter in height.SPECS:NEW – Exclusive Light-Weight Parts to SL66:SL66 FrameSL66 TriggerSL66 Front CapSL66 On/off purgeSL66 Front Regulator MountSL66 Swivel In-Line RegulatorSL66 Front LPR CapSL66 BoltSL66 XSV Machined BodySL66 XSV Navigation ConsoleOther Parts:Nexus Style Eye CoversEgo 6 Board6 Firing ModesShaft 2-piece BarrelC-Lever Clamping Feed
