Purpose-Built HPA Technology
At the heart of the A1R is Planet Eclipse’s Micro Gamma Engine. This purpose-built system has been designed to deliver consistent operation while making maintenance and servicing more accessible. The complete drivetrain can be released and removed without tools, giving users quick access to the engine assembly.
- A1R Micro Gamma Engine: Planet Eclipse’s dedicated airsoft drive system, designed for accessible maintenance and consistent operation.
- Tool-Less Quick-Release Drivetrain: The engine assembly can be removed as a complete unit without the need for tools.
- Built-In HPR Regulator: Integrated high-pressure regulator with external velocity adjustment.
- Fully Decoupled Drive: Incorporates Planet Eclipse’s Fully Decoupled Drive (FDD) and Auto Dwell Dynamics (ADD) technology.
- OLED Display: A rear-mounted OLED heads-up display provides access to the platform’s electronic interface.
- Bluetooth Connectivity: Compatible with Planet Eclipse’s E-Portal Lite app for supported settings and features.
- Adjustable Trigger: A four-point adjustable, interchangeable single-finger trigger with a magnetic return and dual ball-raced pivot.
- Ambidextrous Controls: Ambidextrous fire-mode selectors and easy-access hop-up adjustment.
- Adjustable Hop-Up: Features dual adjustable bucking lip tension systems, a G&G Green bucking and a custom Omega-style tensioner.
Precision Aluminium Construction
The A1R features a billet-machined, anodised aluminium body and frame, giving the platform a premium construction designed for demanding airsoft use. The 182mm ported aluminium barrel and GRN magazine well complete a purpose-built design that is compact and distinctive.
It also features a soft-touch feed nozzle with three-stage bolt acceleration, rubber rear grips and an adjustable inlet feed nozzle. Planet Eclipse has clearly put considerable thought into making the A1R a complete platform rather than simply adapting an existing paintball marker.

What Else Do You Need to Run the A1R?
The A1R is an HPA-powered platform, so you will need a suitable external air supply and magazine to get started. These items are sold separately unless specifically stated otherwise in the final package details.
- HPA Tank: A suitable high-pressure air tank.
- HPA Regulator and Line: A compatible air system to supply the platform at the required operating pressure. The A1R has a built-in HPR regulator, but still requires an external HPA supply and suitable connection.
- 2 x AA Batteries: Required to power the electronic operation and onboard display.
- AEG M4 / AR Magazine: Compatible with most popular airsoft AEG M4/AR-style magazines.
Always follow Planet Eclipse’s operating instructions and ensure your HPA setup is compatible with the platform before use.
Platform Compatibility and Upgrade Options
The A1R has been designed with compatibility and future configuration options in mind. It accepts most popular AEG M4/AR-style magazines and features an M14 CCW threaded barrel for compatible accessories.
It is also designed to work with selected Planet Eclipse accessories, including the PWR stock and EMC handguard. These require their respective adaptors and are sold separately. Check the exact accessory requirements before ordering.
The BR Airsoft Pro Take
Planet Eclipse entering the airsoft market is a significant development, particularly for players who already know the brand from its paintball markers. The A1R is not simply another HPA-powered rifle with a familiar engine inside. It is a purpose-built platform featuring Planet Eclipse’s own Micro Gamma Engine, integrated regulator, electronic controls and quick-release drivetrain.
What stands out is the combination of performance-focused engineering and practical design. The tool-less engine removal, accessible hop-up adjustment, built-in regulator and OLED interface all point towards a platform designed to be used, adjusted and maintained by serious players.
The five colour options also give the A1R a distinctive appearance, while the compatibility with common M4/AR AEG magazines means players are not tied to a completely proprietary magazine format.
At ?1,049.99 RRP, this is a premium HPA investment. For players interested in something genuinely different from the usual AEG and HPA options, the A1R is certainly one to watch.
