Gate ASTER V3 SE Basic Module

The ASTER is the younger brother of GATEs famous high-end TITAN ETU, designed to give you a tactical advantage at an attractive price.

The 4th generation Control System will give you maximum reliability and protection together with tons of useful functions such as binary trigger, burst mode, active brake, and other essentials.

One of the biggest advantages of ASTER V3 is the same optical trigger sensor which is in the TITAN V3. Unlike mechanical switches, which can be prone to faults, optical sensors are much more reliable. With an additional dongle, it enables you to adjust the trigger sensitivity with military precision. Transform your AEG with V3 gearbox into a computerized training weapon system and gain a unique tactical advantage thanks to extremely fast trigger response - up to 6 milliseconds! Give your AEG a new lease of life!

Optical sensors

ASTER V3 is equipped with well-known and tested optical trigger sensor, the same as in TITAN V3, optical sensors detecting gear cam and selector positions. With the GCS App, you can easily calibrate, test and adjust all sensors.

Trigger sensitivity adjustment

The trigger sensor offers you even 315 possible sensitivity settings. You do not have to disassemble your replica. Just use GCS App to adjust the trigger to your preferences and level of skills. You can even activate 2-stage trigger and set two different trigger sensitivities. Pulling the trigger slightly produces Semi or Burst fire and pulling the trigger further produces Burst, Burst / Auto or Auto fire. Additionally, by upgrading firmware to ADVANCED or EXPERT version, you can even use equalizer mode. Thanks to this option, you don't need to fully release the trigger to fire the next shot. This option is really useful when the trigger sensitivity level is very high. The gen. 2 proximity trigger sensor offers up to 315 levels of sensitivity depending on trigger construction.

To buy an airsoft weapon in the UK you must have a valid airsoft defence.

This is not a licence, it is basically just proof that you intend to buy an airsoft weapon for use in airsoft.

An airsoft defence could be a UKARA or membership with the British Airsoft Club, and various other forms of defence.

You can only obtain an airsoft defence once you are over the age of 18.

To get an airsoft defence the law is that you should play at least 3 games of airsoft, and that you must have been playing for at least two months.

You can still buy an airsoft gun without a defence, provided you are 18 or older. If you choose to do this we would, by law, two tone (paint in a bright colour) parts of your chosen weapon. This is because an airsoft gun is considered a RIF aka Realistic Imitation Firearm, because they are so close to the real steel, whereas when you paint parts of it in a bright colour it becomes an IF aka Imitation Firearm. The reason being that the bright colours make it look less realistic to the public, and therefor less likely to be mistaken as real, were it to be used for any other purpose than airsoft.

When you order a gun from us you will need to add your defence details in the comments section of the cart. If you do not have a defence you will need to write the colour that you wish to be used for two toning your airsoft weapon.

Here is what's stated in the VCRA (Violent Crime Reduction) Act:

For airsoft skirmishing, the Association of British Airsoft is putting in place arrangements to allow retailers to check that individual purchasers are members of a genuine skirmishing club or site. The key elements of these arrangements are:
1. new players must play at least 3 (three) times in a period of not less than two months before being offered membership
2. membership cards with a photograph and recognised format will be issued for production to retailers
3. A central database will be set up for retailers to cross-check a purchaser’s details
4. member’s entry on the database will be deleted if unused for 12 months.
The defence for airsoft skirmishing can apply to individual players because their purchase of realistic imitation firearms for this purpose is considered part of the “holding” of a skirmishing event.
