TECHNICAL GATE STATUS

Well, what is the Status? This small box is a display that makes a connection to the well-known Titan or Aster mosfets also from the Gate brand. This connection

And what is it for? This display shows the player a huge amount of information about their replica and not only that, its main function is the cycle counter, which whenever we shoot, it subtracts a number equal to what was fired from the number on the
