ECLIPSE GTEK - GAME ON!

For years the Etek has been the go-to marker for those looking for the ultimate in performance, value and rugged reliability in the mid-range market place. Its stacked-tube poppet valve construction has proven time and again to be the benchmark by which others in this area are judged.

However, at Planet Eclipse we appreciate that not everyone likes the feel or the external moving components of a stacked-tube poppet valve marker. Some players have a clear preference for the simple lines and enclosed bolt system of the single-tube, spool valve platform.

ALONGSIDE THE ETEK, THE GTEK COMPLETES OUR INCREDIBLE MID-RANGE MARKER OFFERING

It is for these players that the all new Eclipse Gtek was created. A mid-range Eclipse marker with all the value, reliability and efficiency of the Etek line but with the smooth shooting and quiet sound signature that you’ve come to expect from a modern single-tube spool valve marker.

Pull up on the quick release back cap and within its compact, lightweight and low-profile body the Gtek’s all-new and completely unique Gamma Core drivetrain can be found. This new system has been designed and developed to pull off the perfect trifecta of supreme all-weather reliability with optimal shooting enjoyment and exceptional efficiency.

RELIABILITY AND TESTING

The Gtek has been subjected to and passed the most extreme environmental testing we have ever devised for a new marker. Repeatedly stored at temperatures as low as -20F for days at a time the marker still fires full velocity on the first time of asking, with zero FSDO (first shot drop-off). Cycled for hours at a time at below freezing without stopping to be lubricated, then heated to 100F and cycled for tens of thousands of shots more the Gamma Core is the most robust drivetrain we have ever devised. And it’s not like our other markers aren’t amongst some of the most durable out there. But the Gtek takes it to a new level.

EFFICIENCY

The Gamma Core utilizes lessons learned with the IVCore in the Geo line when it comes to making the most of the air used to fire a paintball. Although the operation method of the Gtek is nothing like a Geo it still utilizes the Breech Sensing technology of the IVCore to seal off the firing chamber mid-shot. This means that no tail end air is lost and wasted down the barrel. The Gamma Core traps over 30psi in the firing chamber after every shot. That’s 30psi saved per shot over a normal spool valve system.

The Gamma Core also utilizes a unique system where the spool and bolt are completely decoupled from each other and where the air that is used to drive the bolt forward is also released down the barrel and not vented into the atmosphere and wasted like in most other systems. This further improves the efficiency of the system as the only air wasted is that which is used to drive the relatively small spool.

FEEL, SOUND AND PAINT HANDLING

The starting point for understanding the Gtek’s unique feel and shot signature is the low operating pressure of its Gamma Core drivetrain at only 135psi. It’s one of the primary reasons that the marker feels so smooth and has such a quiet sound signature. Then there is the three-stage bolt acceleration. Each stage tuned to give the perfect balance of exceptional paint handling, efficiency, feel and reliability.

The acceleration profile of the Gtek bolt is very accurately controlled. The initial push-off phase is tuned to give exceptional paint handling ability by very gently picking up the ball to get it moving in the direction of the breech. It maintains this controlled phase as the bolt passes the second ball in the stack to help eliminate clipping that ball. At this point the bolt hits the second phase where the acceleration profile is ramped up in order to give good valve resolution to help efficiency, create a low sound signature and to help maintain high rates of fire. The final stage is as the bolt seals in the breech and the main valve opens to release air behind the ball. This ensures the valve opens cleanly for maximum flow and again, efficiency.

Of course the rest of the Gtek is just as impressive as the new Gamma Core. The same rugged glass reinforced composites that have been used on the Etek for many years can be found on the Gtek. Gripframe, breech sensor covers, feedtube and OOPS knob are manufactured from this incredibly durable and resilient material. All other components are the same 6061-T6 aluminium that you will find on all other Eclipse markers.

The frame is wrapped in dual-density rubber grips and protect the same circuit board as the Etek5 and like its sibling, the Gtek can be quickly and easily upgraded to full OLED capability without the need to replace the circuit board. Just plug and play.

The SL4 regulator at the front is the same regulator that you’ll find on the Geo3.5 and LV1.1 Pro. Again, a proven regulator design that has been optimised to work with everything from SLP to HP output tanks with zero effect on performance. It’s wrapped in a super-comfy dual-density unibody foregrip sleeve which is perfectly spaced from the frame to give an incredibly stable shooting platform.

And of course there is a new Gtek Shaft4/5 compatible 14.5” barrel tip with extra porting for a reduced sound signature and improved consistency and efficiency. And all packaged in the customary Eclipse zippered hard tin with spares bundle, tool kit, grease, barrel sock and instruction manual.

Designed to strike the perfect balance of on-field performance, comfort, reliability and outstanding value, the Gtek is the marker some people have been waiting a very long time for. And now it’s here.

The Eclipse Gtek. Game on!

Well done!
Format: Kindle
Young, bloodied, sleep deprived and starving, not to mention being surrounded by an army of hungry sharks! It seems almost unimaginable that a sixteen-year-old could experience such a harrowing ordeal and live to tell about it. The story of young Josh, a baseball loving kid from San Antonio, Texas, who forges his mothers signature in order to join the Navy, takes place in 1945 near the end of WWII aboard the USS Indianapolis. After being struck by a Japanese torpedo, the mighty Naval ship sinks, thrusting the survivors into an unforgiving ocean for five harrowing days. The story is fast-paced with lots of action without being overly graphic and is the perfect for middle-schoolers with a penchant for excitement! There's also a great friendship angle which was really great to see especially since the boy Josh befriends (Lee) is of Japanese decent. At the time Josh bears a lot of resentment towards the Japanese since his father was killed when the Japanese bombed Pear Harbor so I think this offers an excellent 'teaching moment' for kids today. The book is chock-full of numerous interesting facts about the USS Indianapolis which I hadn't known before reading the book. Of note, it states that the sinking of the USS Indianapolis resulted in the largest number of shark attacks on humans in history, which I think is a little known and very interesting fact! Well done!

A fast paced and exciting read
Format: Kindle
I really enjoyed this book about the sinking of the USS Indianapolis by a Japanese submarine towards the end of World War II. The story is told through the eyes of a sixteen year old boy, Josh, who lied about his age on his enlistment application and forged his mother's signature. He was determined to do his bit for the American war effort and revenge the death of his father during the attack on Pearl Harbour. When the USS Indianapolis was torpedoed, the survivors, about three quarters of the crew, were flung into the ocean without any survival equipment. Many of them did not even have life jackets and were burned by the fire that had broken out on board the ship or injured when they were swept overboard. The scent of urine and blood soon attracts sharks, lots of sharks, and the survivors fear that they have survived the sinking of the ship only to become food for these huge and vicious fish. The story is short and sharp and I think middle school and young teenage boys will really enjoy it. The author shares some details of the attack and sinking of the ship, without making it to graphic and over whelming for younger readers. Boys, particularly, will relate to the action packed excitement of the attack and also to Josh's thoughts about his mother and younger brother back home. The terrible hardship of being in the ocean for a few days, without food or water, the temptation to drink sea water to alleviate the dreadful thirst and the savage behavior of some of the other survivors are all well told but not with so much detail that younger readers will become overwhelmed or bored. Josh's relationship with another young survivor, Lee, who is of Japanese extraction is also most interesting and contains a good message of delving deeper into relationships and people that merely their heritage and looks.
