Another quite surprising gun upgrade. I really believed that the Ego 07 was a perfect gun, yet Planet Eclipse managed to upgrade it. And believe it or not there’s a significant difference between the Ego 07 and the new Ego 2008 Origin. This one’s even lighter (I guess it really is possible), has absolutely no kick, is even more air efficient, more accurate and with even sleeker design. They even managed to raise the speed level. We just have to admit this time Planet Eclipse definitely outdid themselves. Check out the gun’s features:
• Ultra-Lightweight Monoform Body
• Deftek Offset Feed Tube
• Flush-Fitting Eye Covers
• Integrated Rammer Housing
• Integrated FRM
• Cure Bolt

Just like the Dye DM8 the Ego 08 is holding a high price – $1250. It’s only natural for a high end marker, but still not too many people can afford it. I guess that’s good news for some as there aren’t gonna be too many people with the same gun out on the field. I really can’t add any flaws for this gun, because it’s getting even higher ratings than the Dye DM8. It’s near perfection, but I don’t want to play with that word too much, because I’m pretty sure the next Planet Eclipse gun version will be even better. The Ego 08 comes in variety of colors such as blue, olive with brown highlights, white, grey with green highlights, black with green highlights, black with white highlights. There are also a couple of limited editions – UK Flag and American Flag, but to get them you have to spend an additional $150 (total of $1400). No matter which color you decide to get you’ll be a lucky and happy person to have this gun. It won’t disappoint you.
