Descriere
With the Planet Eclipse A1R, one of the most renowned manufacturers in international tournament paintball presents its first in-house airsoft model. After decades of experience developing high-quality, high-end paintball systems, Planet Eclipse is transferring its technical expertise for the first time to a standalone electronic HPA airsoft gun. The result is a completely new platform, specifically designed for the demands of modern speedsoft.
The A1R is neither a classic M4 replica nor a traditional weapon replica. Instead, Planet Eclipse has opted for a unique design, innovative electronic controls, and a fully decoupled HPA propulsion system. Compact dimensions, thoughtful ergonomics, and customizable controls make the A1R a particularly interesting new Speedsoft model for ambitious gamers and competitive athletes.
New Generation HPA Airsoft – The A1R Micro Gamma Engine
The heart of the Planet Eclipse A1R is the newly developed A1R Micro Gamma Engine . The fully decoupled spool-valve system is dwell-insensitive and features a tool-free, quick-release drive unit. This simplifies access to the central drive technology and makes maintenance particularly convenient.
The integrated HPR regulator enables controlled pressure delivery. The external speed adjustment allows the system to be tailored to specific requirements. The design is complemented by an adjustable feed nozzle and a soft-touch nozzle with three-stage acceleration.
Electronic control and individual performance
Planet Eclipse also equips the A1R with extensive electronics. It features a 32-bit RISC microcontroller, an OLED display with a graphical user interface, and a three-color LED for status indication.
Configuration is performed via the E-Portal using a Micro-B connector or via E-Portal Lite with Bluetooth connectivity. This provides various options for setting and managing the electronic system functions.
A particular highlight is the double ball-bearing trigger with magnetic return. Four adjustment points allow for individual customization of the trigger pull. Additionally, the trigger blade is replaceable.
The controls, accessible from both sides, ensure comfortable operation for both left- and right-handed users.
Precise hop-up and well-designed barrel construction
For reliable and precise feeding and individual adjustment of the shot pattern, the A1R features a finely adjustable hop-up system. The adjustment is accessible from both sides.
Two adjustable bucking lip tensioning systems are used in combination with a G&G Green Bucking and an Omega-style tensioner.
The 182 mm long, ported barrel is made of 6061-T6 aluminum and is designed to fit the compact construction of the A1R.
High-quality materials and thoughtful ergonomics
The housing and grip are made of 6061-T6 aluminum. The components are milled from solid material and anodized. The construction is complemented by glass fiber reinforced nylon (GRN) on the magwell and two rubber grips.
The M-Lok compatible fiber optic sights, the ambidextrous fire mode selector switches and the wireless interface between the body and grip underline the well-thought-out design.
Weighing only 1.03 kg including batteries, barrel and sights, the A1R remains pleasantly light and handy.
Magazine compatibility and expansion options
The Planet Eclipse A1R features an M4/AR-style magazine well and, according to the manufacturer, is compatible with many common AEG magazines of this format.
Additional components, available separately, are required to use the Eclipse PWR Stock.
An optional conversion kit for Woodland, Milsim, and Scenario modes is planned by the manufacturer. This is not included in the standard package and is not currently listed as available.
For electronic configuration, E-Portal via Micro-B and E-Portal Lite via Bluetooth are available.
