I read in another part of the web that this was actually being shown off at a booth at Shotshow this year. Maybe that means they're trying to break into the LL market, which would explain the changes and the fact they slapped Milspec on so many of the parts.

Ergonomically, absolutely, but the backbottle layout and AR-style controls are what a majority of the milsim market wants, and the tank is at least dropped down a bit which will help with mask clearance.Originally posted by Magmoormaster View Post
I do think having all the air-plumbed parts slide out of the back in one unit is pretty trick, and a unibody aluminum upper is an obvious upgrade.
Someone on the Reddit thread pointed out that this configuration might allow Eclipse to enter the very lucrative Less Lethal market for law enforcement and home defense.

The FN303 didn't survive the less lethal market, I don't know how this would be different. That said, I'd rather see cops with these than Tippmans =P -
My understanding is that the FN303 more or less created the .68 caliber Less-lethal market. -

By the time the fn303 hit the civilian market it was already out of production most were used.
