El Bridos introduces the Perun Lightning V2, a new Electronic Trigger Unit (ETU) designed to replace previous models. They note that while the packaging remains familiar, the device itself features a simplified design and more robust wiring that strikes a balance between flexibility and durability. One of the most significant physical changes is the removal of rear sensors in favor of a magnetic selector plate system, which aims to make the hardware more adaptable to various airsoft replicas.
The installation process has been streamlined to reduce the need for adhesive stickers and complex modifications. A magnetic plate is now used to detect fire modes, and the unit includes a calibration sequence involving a series of colored light signals to ensure the safe, semi-automatic, and full-auto settings are correctly aligned. This calibration is performed through the trigger without needing a computer, though the guys joke about the struggle of finding a battery or a hammer when you actually need one during the build.
In terms of performance, the unit inherits many advanced features from higher-end models but at a more accessible price point. It moves to a cycle detection system based on the gear cam rather than individual gear teeth, which they found surprisingly effective even in high-speed builds. The summary concludes that the device offers a practical upgrade for players looking for reliability and ease of use, provided they can follow a sequence of blinking lights without getting too frustrated.
