ETEK5
WELCOME. TO THE 5TH DIMENSION.
The ETEK line has always stood for durability and reliability.
The ETEK5 points accurately and naturally whether snap-shooting

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
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.

Its integrated LPR assembly and SL4 inline regulator ensure the ETEK5 operates with exceptional consistency whilst employing an extended pitch between the

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.
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

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.
