G&G Armament has decided to replace its standard ETU and mosfets systems with electronics from a Polish manufacturer, i.e. ASTER systems from GATE Enterprise. Currently, on the manufacturer's website, distributors can order replicas of the TR16 series with the systems we have already written about when reporting on the HPA Pulsar H engine (New HPA Pulsar H engine from Gate Enterprise) and quite recently about the new ASTER II Bluetooth system (Pre-orders ASTER II Bluetooth for gearbox V3) for V3 gearboxs.

Let's remind you what ASTER is. It is a control system based on optical sensors, thanks to which the risk of failure is significantly minimized due to the lack of mechanical parts. Moreover, ASTER, depending on the version, can also be programmed via a cable (USB-link for ASTER) or bluetooth connection (ASTER II) with the GCS (GATE Control Station) application installed on a smartphone. GATE Enterprise provides the application for free. It can be downloaded from Google Play and Apple App Store. What probably distinguishes the GATE Enterprise product the most from the competition is its transparency and intuitiveness of use. It is through this application that you can control the entire system and have capabilities not provided by competing products.

From the information we can find on the G&G Armament website, the replicas will be fitted with first generation ASTER systems. G&G is another brand that has decided to install Polish electronics in its replicas. From the point of view of an airsoft player, this is great news, because the installation of optical systems is a much more durable solution than standard ETUs or contact switches.

Replicas with the ASTER system may soon be delivered to local distributors.
