    Cool The "New" Old School

    Got my Gmek frame in today.

    Turns the Planet Eclipse Gtek into a mechanical marker.

    Not as nice a trigger as I had hoped, but better than a cocker slider.

    Does have a slight bit of front to back slop like a mag does sometimes.

    Looking forward to playing with it.

    I think there are trigger adjustment screws that can take that up.

    Played with adjusting the two screws a bit but any changes weren't noticeably.

    Still have yet to play with it, I did shoot some in the back yard and it is fun to shoot.

    No I actually almost like it.

    100 times better than the slide on that other one I bought....

    With a little practice they will be telling me I'm firing too fast.

    But I do have to have that Emek with the hinge frame too.

    And a CS2 while I'm at it....

    Love me some gamma core.

    Cracks me up...
    10 years ago planet eclipse was selling an e frame for the autococker toting it as the baddest thing on the planet.
    Now they are selling a mech frame for a electric gun...

    Just me? No one else see the irony?

    It's the cyclic world. As common place as it was 12 years ago to electrofy a cocker, electros are now the norm and being in abundance. Plus, PE does not have a mech in their stable, so it makes sense in R & D to have a gun that can be switched from the base to mech.

    Zondo, also before you go wanting a double trigger for it, shoot it. I didn't like it, as it was close to a cocker slider but different enough that i personally didn't like it.

    My opinion the trigger is way better than a cocker, I can't tolerate a cocker slider at all.

    But it doesn't surprise me that we have opposite views.

    How does trigger compare to a mech mag with stock RT/X, OR AIR valves? How about ULT?
    From a poster at PB Nation:

    ""Jim, back to your cave. Bob Long is on the batphone..."

    I am going to have to get one for the other Gtek I have.

    Boston paintball has a video out covering it. It looks a lot nicer than the standard gmech to me.

    I actually talked to the guy that was making them. Seems like a cooly guy. I don't think he was trying to start an arms race or anything just trying to come out with a walkable drop in option.

    Out of curiosity: can one electrify the single trigger frames as well? I acually think it would be cool to have a single trigger electronic marker again.

    By thw way, that GMEK of your is astonishingly beautiful, going_home!

    What a shame... Is it because they have something inside the frame that would prevent one from installing the corresponding electronics?
