=== Development of the EBlade ===

Around 2002, Planet Eclipse introduced the '''EBlade''', an electronic trigger frame developed for the [[WGP Autococker]].[1][4]

The EBlade replaced the marker's mechanical trigger mechanism with an electronic system controlling its pneumatic operation.

The conversion allowed Autococker owners to compete with newer electronic markers without replacing the underlying marker platform.

Jack Wood was involved in the mechanical design, while Steve "Flash" Monks contributed to the development of the electronics.[4]

The EBlade became one of the company's most significant early products and marked its transition from a custom equipment workshop towards the development of complete electronic paintball markers.

Planet Eclipse subsequently produced additional electronic upgrades, including the E2 EBlade.
