Planet Eclipse decided to try and make an extremely light marker, and as far as I'm concerned, they suceeded. I believe XSV will be using this marker, and it will be released sometime in April.

This gun is much smaller than the Ego6, with it being 14% lighter and 0.2" shorter. As you can see in the pictures below, the trigger guard has more metal shaved off on the top, which means no more magnets, only springs. PE doesn't seem to think that will matter much because apparently the XSV guys only use spring return.

Specs:

NEW - Exclusive Light-Weight Parts to SL66:
SL66 Frame
SL66 Trigger
SL66 Front Cap
SL66 On/off purge
SL66 Front Regulator Mount
SL66 Swivel In-Line Regulator

SL66 Bolt
SL66 XSV Machined Body
SL66 XSV Navigation Console

Other Parts:
Nexus Style Eye Covers
Ego 6 Board
6 Firing Modes
Shaft 2-piece Barrel
C-Lever Clamping Feed

Holy Balls.

Ive been waiting for a new Ego to come out. If the price on this is anywhere reasonable, I'll be picking one up thru my sponsor/store.

$2g's prolly?

Saw someone mention something around $1800

It's hott, dont know about $1800 hott tho.

The silver = meh, the gold on bronze = poo.

Better come out with some differant anno options.

That thing has got the crap milled out of it.

Exactly how much does that weigh?

**bobide** · March 15th, 03:47 PM

the lpr looks bad and i really don't give a damn about another pl ego anymore.

**mavsfan31** · March 15th, 04:15 PM

The stock Ego6 is 966 grams, so I'll let you do the math.

So its 830.76 grams = 1.83 pounds.

Now what does that include?

Ugly as hell.

**mLuH** · March 15th, 07:15 PM

the only thing i really like about it is the buttons/display

**punk_pntballar** · March 15th, 07:25 PM

well i think its really hot. I want one.

***DarkTamer*** · March 15th, 07:48 PM

I personally like it better than any other ego, except maybe the Nexus. Only thing is the reg looks really wierd.... but then again all the ego regs have always looked wierd to me when they were first released, then I got used to them.

**punk_pntballar** · March 15th, 07:49 PM

yea just drop a 2 liter on there........well nvrmind they don't look all that great either. I think it was the 06 ego whose reg looked so ugly.

**PizzaMiLiTiA** · March 16th, 11:04 AM

I don't think that reg looks bad at all.

Not that it really matters; your hand is going to be covering it up anyway.

**mavsfan31** · March 16th, 11:14 AM

Yep, as long as it's comfy.

**2ffu** · March 16th, 04:12 PM

$1895
