Description
The ETEK line has always stood for
durability and reliability. Now in its 5th generation, the New ETEK5
holds true to those same basic principles. It utilizes the finest
materials wrapped up in a package that offers outstanding performance,
class-leading ergonomics and an array of features that make it a
formidable proposition at its price point. It pushes the boundaries of
what has come to be expected from a mid-range marker.
The ETEK5
has achieved this by using the trickle-down effect of features and
ergonomics from its class-leading high-end siblings. For example, the
ETEK5 borrows its basic architecture and form from the incredible EGO
LV1. Its integrated LPR assembly and SL4 inline regulator ensure the
ETEK5 operates with exceptional consistency whilst employing an extended
pitch between the foregrip and gripframe, providing the most stable and
comfortable shooting platform possible. The all-new dual-density
wrap-around grips and foregrips not only look the business, but also use
our latest stippled inserts to give the user a higher level of grip and
control, regardless of playing conditions.
Internally, the ETEK5
now incorporates Zick3 technology which introduces a true 2-stage
acceleration profile. This provides a very gentle initial acceleration
to the bolt and ball which then increases during the 2nd stage of the
bolt stroke to enable super-fast rates of fire. It enables the ETEK5 to
be more gentle on paint whilst also reducing recoil.
On top of
that, the ETEK5 operates at much lower pressures compared to previous
ETEK models. The much larger valve chamber combines with the high-flow
valve and new soft-tip Cure5 bolt to deliver an HPR operating pressure
of around 150psi and an LPR pressure of 85psi. The result is a quieter,
smoother shot as well as having the added benefit of being more gentle
on paint both in the breech and in the barrel.
As standard the
ETEK5 uses its crisp, multi-coloured LED system to indicate the current
state of the marker. Firing modes and parameters are easily accessed and
adjusted via the LED using combinations of button presses and trigger
pulls.
For those wanting to take things a step further, the ETEK5
has the option of a graphical user interface through the OLED display
upgrade.*
For the first time on any marker, the ETEK5 allows the
user to plug this OLED board directly onto the existing standard circuit
board without the need for any additional upgrades, such as frames,
grips or even the circuit board itself.
The ETEK5 continues the
platform's recent success of combining advanced lightweight and durable
composites in core areas of the marker. Failure rates in areas such as
the gripframe currently stand at less than 0.05% for all ETEK3/4 models
ever produced proving time and again that these incredibly tough
components are capable of resisting any and all kinds of abuse thrown at
them. They are more than up to the job of carrying the Eclipse name for
reliability in any condition.
Features:
- ETEK5 now incorporates Zick3, which reduces recoil and is softer on paint.
- ETEK5 Follows the same Architecture as the EGO LV1.
- The ETEK5 has a much smoother and quiete shot with the larger valve and soft-tip Cure5.
- Comes standard with the Multi-coloured LED system, but can be upgraded with a drop in OLED board.
- Made from incredibly tough composites in core areas of the marker. This makes the failure rates in areas such as the gripframe currently stand less than 0.05% for all Etek3/4 models, proving that these components are capable of resisting anything!
