Planet Eclipse A1R - Airsoft/Speedsoft

I peeked into speedsoft a couple years ago (made a thread here on MCB about it) and one of the things that really held me back was that gear was really subpar compared to paintball. I wanted to poke Jack Wood with a stick and get to make an EMF100 that would shoot airsoft bbs. Looks like he was already on it. This is going to CRUSH everything in the speedsoft market. And I imagine a more tactical version will be out later.

Also very telling as to the state of paintball.

Speedsoft seems to be growing a lot recently.

I think it's pretty lame - as in, you think cheating is bad in speedball, speedsoft is a whole new level. Even the small amount of airsoft I played I'd say 40% or more of hits were ignored. And that's with people who were trying to play honestly. It's those "hmm I felt something but I'm not sure, I'll just continue" moments. In speedsoft I imagine it's closer to 50%.

That said, if I were into speedsoft, this is it. This is peak. It's a gorgeous design.

In terms of the state of PB, honestly airsoft is on the same trajectory, just a few years behind. While we often complain about competition from gaming or whatever I think it's hard to overestimate the impact that social media giant content policies have had, actively suppressing content they judge to be about firearms.

I imagine it's a lot like paintball it's all about the company you keep.

Interesting, good for ol' Jack. I’d I were to play airsoft of any kind it would definitely be speedsoft

I love the design, but airsoft/speedsoft is not for me... not even a little bit.
