Just had this sent in from forum member TDS, and what a first news post!
The Eclipse is a pneumatically powered, semi automatic 40mm launching platform. This entry is the final pre-production prototype. The firing cylinder and drive cylinders are external in this variation. There is no spring in place or drive rod guard at the time these photos were taken. The trigger and mechanical safety as well as the rubber grip is missing too. The production model is going to be anodized black.

This certainly looks impressive, and at the very least could add another element to normal Airsoft Skirmishes.
