Planet Eclipse A1R
The first Airsoft gun from Planet Eclipse.
The A1R marks a new chapter for Planet Eclipse. Drawing on more than 30 years of experience in designing and manufacturing premium paintball markers, the British manufacturer brings its engineering expertise into the Airsoft world for the very first time.
The A1R is a purpose-designed electronic HPA Airsoft gun with Speedsoft at the heart of its development. Its distinctive construction combines advanced electronics, precision adjustment and an exceptionally service-friendly drivetrain.
Designed and assembled in Great Britain. Engineered for serious Airsoft players.
Planet Eclipse goes Airsoft
The A1R marks Planet Eclipse's first entry into the Airsoft market.
Rather than producing another replica of an existing firearm, Planet Eclipse has developed an original Airsoft gun. Its compact silhouette, distinctive colourways and technical construction set it apart from conventional Airsoft replicas.
At its heart are electronic HPA technology, adjustable controls and straightforward maintenance.
The A1R has been developed primarily for Speedsoft, while its design also offers potential for other formats. Planet Eclipse is planning optional accessories and conversion components for Woodland, MilSim and Scenario applications.
More than simply another product, the A1R represents the beginning of a new chapter for Planet Eclipse.
Planet Eclipse A1R – Five Distinctive Colourways
Technical Features
Micro Gamma Engine: Maintenance made simple
At the heart of the A1R is the Micro Gamma Engine.
This fully decoupled pneumatic drivetrain has been engineered for consistent, reliable operation, with performance and straightforward maintenance at the centre of its design.
One of its standout features is the tool-free quick-release system. The entire drivetrain can be removed from the A1R as a complete assembly in seconds.
Inspection, cleaning and routine maintenance become remarkably straightforward.
Precision hop-up adjustment
The A1R features an easily accessible hop-up system with an externally mounted adjustment wheel.
This allows players to fine-tune BB trajectory without dismantling the gun.
The adjustment wheel provides controlled, repeatable settings. Combined with the G&G Green Bucking, custom Omega-style tensioner and adjustable tension systems, it offers extensive opportunities for fine-tuning.
A trigger tailored to your preference
The A1R's single-finger trigger uses dual ball-race bearings and a magnetic return mechanism.
Four adjustment points allow players to tailor the trigger feel to their personal preference.
The interchangeable trigger face also creates opportunities for further customisation.
Advanced electronic control
The A1R features an electronic control system informed by Planet Eclipse's experience with the GTEK 180R.
A rear-mounted OLED display and tri-colour LED provide access to important settings and operating information.
Bluetooth connectivity is built in, allowing supported settings to be accessed through the E-Portal Lite app.
A Micro-B connection also provides access to E-Portal.
Power is supplied by two AA batteries.
Please note: The German-market version is configured for semi-automatic operation only.
M4/AR-style magazine compatibility
The A1R uses M4/AR-style Airsoft magazines.
According to Planet Eclipse, it is compatible with many popular Airsoft magazines already on the market.
The magazine well is manufactured from glass-reinforced nylon and designed for durability.
Using a familiar magazine format makes it easier to integrate the A1R into an existing Airsoft setup.
Ergonomics with purpose
The A1R combines a compact design with conveniently positioned controls.
Ambidextrous operation makes it suitable for both left- and right-handed players.
Rubber grip panels provide a comfortable, secure feel.
Its distinctive design brings together practical handling and an unmistakable appearance.
Barrel and fibre-optic sights
The A1R features a 182 mm ported aluminium barrel.
Its fibre-optic sights support quick and intuitive target alignment.
The M-Lok-compatible sight arrangement is integrated into the A1R's compact design.
Integrated HPA technology
The A1R uses a pneumatic HPA system with a built-in high-pressure regulator.
The POPS ASA (Push On Purge System) provides convenient handling of the connected air supply.
The system combines the A1R's compact construction with Planet Eclipse's extensive experience in pneumatic drivetrain engineering.
Premium materials and construction
The A1R's body and frame are machined from anodised 6061-T6 aluminium.
Precision machining, quality materials and thoughtful construction reflect the premium engineering philosophy behind the A1R.
At approximately 1.03 kg, the gun also remains compact and manageable.
