Editing Eclipse EMEK (section)

== Operating system ==

The EMEK uses Planet Eclipse's '''Gamma Core''' spool-valve drivetrain.

The Gamma Core controls the movement of the bolt and the release of compressed air used to propel the paintball.

Unlike electronic Gamma Core markers, which use a solenoid controlled by an electronic circuit board, the EMEK uses a mechanical three-way valve activated by the trigger.

This arrangement allows semiautomatic firing without a battery.

The marker incorporates an integrated inline regulator and internal air-transfer system.

Planet Eclipse specifies compressed air as the required propellant. The EMEK is not designed to operate using carbon dioxide.[2]
