Eclipse Etek Ego Paintball Gun

Description

The ETek Ego is a completely new Ego designed
from the ground up. Although some of the parts are interchangeable with the
Eclipse Ego, such as eye covers, LPR cap, Feed Tube etc the majority of the
internals, frame, trigger and body are not. They have been designed with
simplicity and durability in mind, yet also keep the same high performance
expected from an Eclipse Family product.

In order to differentiate between the new ETek range and the Eclipse Ego6 range
we have removed some User and Performance features. There is no LCD display, for
example, but we have replaced it with 3 True-color LEDs that can be used to
display modes, marker condition and used to quickly and easily modify and set
parameters whilst in programming mode. There is the potential to have virtually
all the adjustability of a standard Eclipse Ego, with ROF cap, Mode, Dwell,
Debounce etc however obvious things like Peak ROF indicator, timer etc are lost
once the LCD is removed. The Integrated QEVs have also been removed from the
rammer system to further differentiate the performance characteristics of the
two lines, as has the optical switch used in the trigger mechanism, replaced
instead with a more conventional micro-switch.

The ETek is designed and executed using the same philosophy as the original Ego.
That is performance, durability, ease of use, ease of maintenance and ease of
technical trouble-shooting. In all the areas that the Ego performs so highly in
regard to durability and user-friendliness the ETek Ego has it at the very least
matched. In some areas, with the removal, for example, of the QEVs, maintenance
of the rammer and valve is now even further simplified. We believe that just
because this is lower cost product that it shouldn’t use intelligent design or
be any less user-friendly than previous Eclipse products.

The ETek will accept all current ’06 CCU (Color Contrast Kit) and C-Lever
Clamping Feeds. It will also accept any 05 or 06 Aftermarket Bolt (Nexus, Dart
Etc). It still utilizes Cocker Barrel threads, and has a standard slide-rail ASA
mount on the frame.
