- Optical MOSFET
- For Version 3 gearboxes
- Expert Firmware included
If you're looking for a way to enhance your AK, AR36, AUG or SMG-5K AEG, the GATE ASTER™ SE V3 MOSFET; Expert Firmware is a fantastic option for a reasonable price! This advanced electronic trigger unit replaces your conventional trigger contacts with optical sensors, allowing for 250 different trigger sensitivity settings, burst and binary fire modes and a plethora of other functions to be programmed in using either the trigger and fire selector or the Gate Control Station App.
This is the MOSFET we use in our Bolster Tuned platforms due to its fantastic balance of cost-effectiveness and performance, offering incredible efficiency improvements even before you get into the programmable features and customisation options. As with all ETU/MOSFET systems, a certain amount of expertise will be required to install the ASTER™ so if you're not confident, we suggest seeking a technician to carry out the installation process for you. This, the V3 model, is intended for version 3 AEG gearboxes found in AK, AR36, AUG and SMG-5K AEGs. If you're ready to take your AEG's performance to the next level, you're ready for the ASTER™!

Description
The GATE ASTER™ SE V3 is the younger brother of the well-known GATE TITAN™ MOSFET. As the world's first 4th generation AEG Control System, the ASTER™ is designed for most AEGs with a V3 gearbox on the market, including stock, low- and mid-tuned AEGs and even for high-tuned guns when using the EXPERT firmware. The GATE ASTER™ was designed to achieve maximum reliability at an attractive price as an alternative to the more complex and expensive TITAN™ MOSFET.
Transform your AEG by replacing the trigger contacts with a computerized controller equipped with innovative optical sensors, including a proximity trigger sensor which offers an incredible 250 sensitivity settings. The GATE ASTER™ offers a unique opportunity to gain a tactical advantage thanks to an extremely fast trigger response and lots of other useful functions.
The ASTER's smart fuse protects your AEG’s battery, motor, and the controller itself, even in case of reverse battery connection. This feature, along with the optical sensors, makes the ASTER™ the most durable drop-in unit on the market. You choose how to configure the ASTER™ simply via the trigger or through USB-Link / Blu-Link* and GATE's GCS (GATE Control Station) App.
As with other ETU/MOSFET systems, you will need a certain amount of expertise to properly install the ASTER™ without damaging its delicate optical sensors. We recommend consulting a tech unless you are very confident you can install the ASTER™ properly as we cannot offer returns on parts damaged during installation.

Parts Fitting
Upgrades and Downgrades should only be undertaken by experienced players, or Airsoft Technicians. Please note, changing any internal parts of a weapon voids its warranty unless done in-house by our staff.
Please ensure that when fitting parts the part purchased is the correct part, as once a part has been fitted we cannot accept return.
We do know that players love to tinker, so we're here to give you help should you require it, and if needed you can get in touch with our workshop for more help!
Unique Parts
Please note that some parts may be unique to a specific brand of weapon. For example: Parts for an ASG M4A1 may not fit an ICS M4A1.
Parts from the same brand typically have a high chance of fitting, though be warned, some replicas use unique parts, so please ensure the part will fit before you attempt to fit it.
If you require help with fitting any parts feel free to get in touch with us via our Contact Us Page.
