Trigger sensitivity adjustment

The trigger sensor offers you even 250 possible sensitivity settings. You do not have to disassemble your AEG. 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. The 1.5 gen. proximity trigger sensor offers the following sensitivity ranges, depending on trigger construction:

• In total: 160–250 levels
• In the first millimeter of trigger movement: 3–15 levels

If you want to enjoy 'hair trigger' function in ASTER, equip it with GATE Quantum Trigger.

Selector switching point adjustment

The selector sensor gives you an option for fine calibration of selector switching point.

Please note: Trigger sensitivity and selector switching point cannot be set while programming via trigger.
