ID:	589196 Greetings, I am looking for the switch part of the Gamma Core internals. New or used is okay, as long as it functions in semi-only. Thank you.

    Looks like most sites I can find it on are out of stock. Have you tried contacting Eclipse directly?

      PE is sold out right now.

      Not sure if the CS2 switch will work, but I know the CS3 is a little shorter and causes it to go full auto (maybe 7bps range).

        Thanks for the feedback about the CS2. I’ll have to research or just take a gamble and try it.

        I did look at a CS3 switch, and you are correct, it’s shorter. And when I gassed gamma core with CS3 switch, air started to leak.

          Couldn’t you use a paint ball gateway switch and block off some holes?

            They cut a half hole out the front to let the air bleed off and making it go full auto. Aside from welding that up, I don't know how you would block it off successfully

                    Correct, I built up a gamma core internals using various spares. I called it the Hellfire because it was easier to swap out the entire as one assembly, versus having to exchange the switch every time via tear down. But then the internals went to another semi only build, so how have a marker that’s only full auto (which is a no-no at the fields, yet still plenty of fun when you need to dump the one paint in the backyard).

                    So yep, I now need a regular switch to keep my marker semi.

                      Lol. Yup I'm kind of doing the same thing right now but trying to do things externally so I can turn on or off the full auto and also adjust the ROF. So I'm keeping the stock bits in the gamma right now

                        Hooptie did you ever find one? I’m on the hunt as well. My gmek build ended up with a bad switch that just leaks

                          lhamilton1807 - a few days after my search started, ANS received a shipment in and I was able to get it from there.

                          A suggestion is to reach out to Planet Eclipse and see if they have any, or confirm if it’s near end of life. I’d imagine it’ll be still an active, sought after part, as EMEK are part of rental fleets and this part is one that would most likely fault.

                            Will reach out to them. Their website and ANSgear both show out of stock last I checked, and I was really surprised to see that for the same reason - the gamma core has outsold everything else in paintball for almost a decade.
