E-TEK EGO

Postby FUBAR on Thu Jun 15, 2006 12:28 pm

Etek Ego
added 6/15/2006
The ETek Ego is a completely new Ego designed from the ground up. Although some of the parts are interchangeable with the Eclipse Ego, such as eye covers, LPR cap, Feed Tube etc the majority of the internals, frame, trigger and body are not. They have been designed with simplicity and durability in mind, yet also keep the same high performance expected from an Eclipse Family product.

In order to differentiate between the new ETek range and the Eclipse Ego6 range we have removed some User and Performance features. There is no LCD display, for example, but we have replaced it with 3 True-color LEDs that can be used to display modes, marker condition and used to quickly and easily modify and set parameters whilst in programming mode. There is the potential to have virtually all the adjustability of a standard Eclipse Ego, with ROF cap, Mode, Dwell, Debounce etc however obvious things like Peak ROF indicator, timer etc are lost once the LCD is removed. The Integrated QEVs have also been removed from the rammer system to further differentiate the performance characteristics of the two lines, as has the optical switch used in the trigger mechanism, replaced instead with a more conventional micro-switch.

The ETek is designed and executed using the same philosophy as the original Ego. That is performance, durability, ease of use, ease of maintenance and ease of technical trouble-shooting. In all the areas that the Ego performs so highly in regard to durability and user-friendliness the ETek Ego has it at the very least matched. In some areas, with the removal, for example, of the QEVs, maintenance of the rammer and valve is now even further simplified. We believe that just because this is lower cost product that it shouldn’t use intelligent design or be any less user-friendly than previous Eclipse products.

The ETek will accept all current ‘06 CCU (Color Contrast Kit) and C-Lever Clamping Feeds. It will also accept any 05 or 06 Aftermarket Bolt (Nexus, Dart Etc). It still utilizes Cocker Barrel threads, and has a standard slide-rail ASA mount on the frame.

• Rammer Housing – New ETek Rammer and Rammer Housing. No QEVs, but direct Fore and Aft Porting to Rammer. Does not accept any Ego 05 or 06 stock OR aftermarket rammers or rammer housings.

Ziet er leuk uit. Vind de grip zelfs nog mooier dan de "echte" ego.

Ik vraag me altijd af, is dat geen nadeel dat het bewegend deel aanraakbaar is en dus ook veel vuiligheid ziet passeren ?

Open Bolt is nog iets anders hé...
Open-bolt - Describes a marker whose firing sequence begins and ends with the bolt in the back (open) position.


of volgens wikipedia:
The majority of modern paintball markers are semi-automatic, falling under the classification of either "open" or "closed" bolt firing positions, relying on one of 3 major design structures. The first is a gas blowback design whereby the trigger releases a hammer which sends the bolt forward and simultaneously knocks open a valve releasing gas to fire the paintball as well as recock the marker. Autococking markers use a complicated gas pneumatic system to drive a cocking knob back AFTER firing, allowing the marker to fire in a "closed-bolt" format. The third and most advanced type of semi-auto paintball marker is the electropneumatic. Here, the trigger trips an electronic microswitch (or more recently, a laser) and information is passed to a computer controlled solenoid which releases the propellant to drive the bolt forward and fire the paintball, again simultaneously, most often from the "open-bolt" position. This microswitch operation makes the trigger pull very light, and allows for extreme rates of fire. These markers are the most expensive (usually) and advanced of the 3 types and are generally used for tournament play where rates of fire can reach and exceed 25 balls per second.

en Pollement, dat "bewegend deel" noemt men een Bolt. :P

Dit allemaal enkel en geheel en geheel ter informatie ;)

iedere marker heeft ook een hamer das da 'zwaar' ding da aan uwen bolt zit en de klep openslaagt. Vandaar de hamer, meestal aangedreven door de ram.

Dit met uitzondering van spoolvalves types zoals matrix, shocker ( new style) en ion. 8)
