New Virtue Spire Paintball Loader Table Top Review


Check out the new Virtue Spire Paintball Loader in this ten minute long video. They do a good job of showing how everything works. 


The Spire is the first “non-aftermarket” product by Virtue, which allowed us to design and optimized the Hardware and software from the ground up.

Fast and Jam-Proof Feeding
With an Intelligent Shot Activated G-Force sensor, the Spire sits at the top with the fastest feeding loaders in paintball, but speed doesn’t count for much unless a hopper can also feed reliably without jams. The Spring Loaded Anti-Jam Paddle seamlessly prevents jams by sliding underneath and pushing jams out of the way before a pause in feeding occurs.

High Capacity in a Small Package
Play with a smaller profile thanks to the vertically stacked gearbox and the unique angular shape of the Spire. By housing the gearbox in a vertical stack inside of the Spire Drive™, the Spire has the lowest height, and narrowest front profile in paintball. Not only that, but the Spire’s True 200™ rating is not just an optimistic product description--the Spire actually holds 200+ paintballs.

Fastest To Take Apart and Reassemble
Changing batteries, cleaning the hopper, and most importantly, putting it all back together again was never so easy. The Slide Lock Quick Release allows the back shell to be removed in less time than it takes to read this sentence. From there, all of the Spire internals are mounted on an internal tray, which is quickly removed with the slide of the convenient Tray Release Tab.

Soft on Brittle Paint
If the gun can shoot it, the Spire’s Flex Cycle will feed it. The Flex Cycle’s rubber arms have a soft touch, which feeds brittle paint with ease. The Spire has been tested successfully on high end tournament paints so brittle they break when dropped from knee height!

Monitor Paint Levels at a Single Glance
Never start a game with less than a full loader, and stop wasting precious time opening the lid to see how much paint is left during crucial moments. A translucent backshell allows the shooter to quickly view paint levels in a single glance, without revealing how much paint is in the loader to everyone else.

High Performance That’s Easy to Use
Reload with ease thanks to the extra large wide mouth lid. Breathe a sigh of relief with the simple “on/off” operation, featuring self-optimizing motor logic. This means more time playing on the field without fiddling with settings. But die-hard tweakers don’t worry, as the Spire still has some adjustable settings for those who prefer to tinker.

Durable Construction
The Spire front and bottom shells are made of rugged glass-filled nylon, while the back shell is made from impact modified lexan.

Quick Change Speed Feed
The Spire Crown2 comes with its own built-in hinged lid for easy bag-reloading in the pits with a secure snap fit. When those rain clouds make an appearance, the Spire Crown2 Quick Release back shell allows for changing back and forth from Speed Feed to Lid in mere seconds.

New Virtue Paintball Quick Change Crown 2 Lid


Along with the Virtue Spire Paintball Loader Virtue has also released a quick Change Crown 2 Lid. The 100% tool-less design allows for super fast lid changes in case it starts raining. 



The Virtue Crown2 combines a hard plastic ring with 10 individually replaceable, ultrasoft fingers. The hard ring, combined with silicone elastomer fingers prevents sagging and allows lightning fast feeding.

Each Crown2 comes with 10 long and 5 short fingers, so you can decide to use a combination of all long or half long half short fingers.

FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE
Clip in the fingers you want for the type of performance and style you need. Use larger Ultrasoft fingers for fast and secure feeding or shorter Ultra-Thin fingers for lightning fast performance. Combine the two for the best of both worlds.

RELIABLE PERFORMANCE
Crown2 fingers are made from Silicone Elastomer. This new material allows Crown2 fingers to bend under the weight of a single ball and offers the best Compression and Bend Recovery Performance of any speedfeed. Crown2 fingers bounce back into shape after being compressed thousands of times. Additionally, the combination of a hard plastic base ring and soft elastomer fingers give the Crown2 even better Resistance to Sagging.

FUTURE UPGRADABLE
Is the Crown2, the LAST Speed Feed you will ever buy? We think so. With a Lifetime Warranty on the base ring, and individually replaceable fingers, you’ll never need another Speed Feed. Simply upgrade the Fingers as you go. Dozens of Finger designs and Colors are planned so you can maximize performance and customize the look of your hopper.
Features
Uses 10 Ultrasoft, Individually Upgradeable Fingers
15 Fingers Included, Customize Your Setup!

Lifetime Warranty

The Virtue Quick Change Crown 2 lid is for pre-order now along with the Virtue Spire Paintball Loader at Compulsive Paintball.

The Valken Proton has Landed.




Valken's new entry to the paintball gun market has come in. I was surprised at how nice this marker feels. I have never been a big fan of the Invert Mini or Empire Axe paintball guns because they feel to small. i was expecting the same from the new Valken Proton but i was wrong. The weight and size of the two guns are vary close but the one thing that makes the Proton fell a lot better to me is the front grip is extended out from the rear grip more then the Mini or Axe. This eliminates the super small fell that the Axe and Mini have and I love the fell of it.

With the Valken Proton paintball gun you get

  • Five Mode of Fire - Semi-Automatic, Three Shot Burst, Full Automatic, and Two types of Rampping.
  • Brake-Beam Eyes with Eye Shields that prevent dirt and paint from getting to the sensors.
  • Easy to Maintenance with Tool-less Bolt disassembly
  • Ultra-Smooth Dual-Bearing Trigger with Four way Adjustments.
  • Aggressive Body Milling and Styling
  • Autococker Barrel Threads
  • Cam-Lock Clamping Feed Neck
  • On/Off ASA with Air Purge
  • Adjustable Regulator inside the Grip Frame
  • No external Air Lines or Hoses
  • New Style "Push/Pull" on/off Button
As you can see the Valken Proton is a fully loaded paintball gun that should preform extremely well out of the box. With many features of the high end paintball guns like the Dye DM12 and Eclipse Ego, but at less then half the cost.

The New Eclipse Geo3 is in stock

We just got some of the new Eclipse Geo 3 paintball guns. They look great and have a lot of nice features. I snapped some picture of a couple so enjoy.





ALL NEW SOLENOID DESIGN new

solenoidThe Geo3 has taken the basic operating principle of the Geo2.1 and completely reworked it. In order to achieve optimum efficiency in a wide range of circumstances it is beneficial to isolate the firing chamber from the gas supply during firing cycle so that no excess gas is lost down the barrel after the ball has exited. The Geo has always incorporated this feature by selectively controlling supply to the firing chamber via the ISCIS (Innovative Solenoid Controlled Isolation System) Valve. The Geo3 incorporates the Second Generation ISCIS Valve, a complete rework of the original principle aiming to improve efficiency and reliability. The main body of the solenoid is now all aluminium. The secondary spool-driven poppet that controls shut-off of the gas supply to the firing chamber during the firing cycle now works independently of the bolt drive side of the solenoid. The new design also no longer utilises the back-check ball or the Purge Control Valve (PCV) of the old Geos which reduces parts count and further improves reliability. The whole mechanism is more reliable and far more robust than the old solenoid. More importantly to some, by reducing losses from the solenoid during the firing cycle there has been an increase in efficiency in the Geo3.

NEW BOLT SPEED CONTROL (BSC) new

solenoidA great deal has been learnt through the development, testing and subsequent on-field use of the Ego11's adjustable solenoid flow controls. By accurately controlling the flow of the bolt drive exhaust gasses through the solenoid the acceleration and speed of the bolt can be adjusted. Changes in the bolt speed results in changes to feel, sound signature, paint handling, rate of fire and even efficiency. By allowing the user access to this type of adjustment "on-the-fly" with an external adjuster located in the side of the frame means that a player can alter the feel and performance profile of their marker within seconds. In some cases at extreme levels of adjustment there may be need to fine tune the markers dwell to match the required bolt speed, but in general use the BSC adjustment is as simple as dialling in the velocity on the inline regulator.

NEW CURE ST AND CURE ST2 BOLT new

With players continually wanting to shoot the most fragile paint possible we are constantly striving to improve the way that our markers receive paintballs into them, how the ball Cure Boltis transferred from the breech to the barrel, and how the ball is accelerated down the barrel. We do everything we can to make sure that the paint is handled in the most efficient way possible while still fulfilling all the other criteria required for a modern paintball marker to be competitive. During the loading and firing cycle the bolt plays probably the most crucial role out of all the components in the marker. With the Geo3 we incorporate a uniquely long bolt stroke. Doing this allows us to manipulate the profile and form at the head of the bolt in a significant manner when compared to other bolts and still provide a good breech seal during firing. The Extra stroke length is utilised to provide a shape to the head of the bolt that acts as a gentle interface between both the ball that is being pushed into the breech and the ball that is second in the ball stack, awaiting loading. The Geo3 bolt takes this to the next level with the Cure ST2 Bolt by providing a fully cushioned, rubber bolt head that is used to reduce impact forces on both the ball in the breech and the ball in the stack. It allows paint that would have previously been thought un-shootable to be shot with complete effectiveness. As if that wasn't enough, you will also find the original Cure ST bolt included as standard with the Geo3.

NEW GEN3 PROPSHAFT AND CAN ASSEMBLY new

can assemblyThe Geo3 comes with a modified Propshaft and Can Assembly. The propshaft still benefits from the unique spring-loaded Drive Core but modifications to the Propshaft tip improve gas flow through the bolt and past the tip while still keeping the propshaft perfectly concentric within the bolt. This Drive Core prevents air-loss both on the firing stroke of the bolt, leaving residual, previously wasted air trapped in the valve chamber, as well as ensuring the valve chamber is fully sealed prior to re-filling on the return stroke of the bolt. This results in better efficiency and faster recharge of the valve chamber. The new Can and Bolt have previous pressure relief vents that were required for safe degassing of the old ISCIS solenoid removed. The removal of these vents results in less gas wastage per shot.

NEW FRAME AND TRIGGER GEOMETRY new

The Geo3 sees the grip-frame moved up and back over the previous generation bringing the rear hand closer to the barrel axis for an even more natural feel in the hand. Moving the hand higher and further back helps reduce the amount of felt recoil and produces a more stable platform whether firing single shots or in full ramp. The Geo3 trigger has also been borrowed directly from the Ego11 and is 4-way externally adjustable with both magnetic and leaf spring return mechanism and the option of both Opto or micro-switch actuation built in. The frame itself has been strengthened to reduce chances of accidental damage yet still designed to be the primary crumple zone in cases of large impacts.

NEW CONSOLE AND GRIPS new

Following on from successful implementation of a full length grip, pushbutton and display window console on the Ego11 the Geo3 includes its own variation on the theme. A long, soft gripping surface added all the way up the back of the frame right up to the body interface. The Geo3 also includes the Ego11 grips with twin screws per side and their slim, sticky feel.

NEW INTEGRATED BODY FILTER new

geo3 body filterThe majority of solenoid and drive-train issues can be completely avoided through proper filtration of the air supply. Unfortunately air provided by fields or events isn't always perfect, so in order to better protect the user’s investment and to ensure that the Geo3 works for longer and better between maintenance stops there is now a replaceable filter captured within the FRM. The filter protects the solenoid unit as well as the bolt, propshaft and can from ingress of dirt and debris from the air supply, POPS, fittings and inline reg.
