Planet Eclipse GTEK 160R
Planet Eclipse unveiled the GTEK two years ago and what an unveiling it was ! The GTEK introduced Eclipse quality , spool-valve performance at a midlevel price , making professional quality affordable to the masses . Coming in at under $ 600 the GTEK reviews were in : Five stars at Amazon , PbNation and just about everywhere else . And with good reason … The versatile Gamma Core drivetrain utilized in the GTEK allowed players to use a more brittle paint , it produced a much quieter shot report and it was ultra-efficient . In fact , you could easily argue that the Gamma Core drivetrain was comparable to or even better than any high-end marker ’ s design in the game .
Enter the GTEK 160R . Everything you loved about the original GTEK , the Gamma Core drivetrain , the efficiency ,
the quiet shot signature , the reliability and performance in every area — all packaged inside an all-metal billet-machined aircraft-grade anodized aluminum body . At first glance the GTEK 160R is a thing of beauty . It feels as good in your hands as it looks . The stretched pitch of the foregrip and frame provide shooting stability , weight balance and comfort . Incredibly , the 160R weighs in at just a few ounces over two pounds with the barrel and battery . Pick one up ; you will be surprised at the weight , balance and feel . And don ’ t sweat it , it ’ s a durable and well-built as any Planet Eclipse marker .
In order to be able to shoot the most fragile paint possible , the Gamma Core employs a very finely controlled 3-stage bolt acceleration profile to gently pick up the ball and push it into the barrel .
