Tag Innovations Launching Device “Shell-HPA”
Tag Innovations Launching Device “Shell-HPA”
The Shell‑HPA is a dedicated 40 mm grenade‑style launching shell engineered by TAG Innovations for precise deployment of their projectile rounds using HPA. Here’s what makes it stand out:
Key Features
-
HPA-Exclusive Operation
Built solely for use with high-pressure air (HPA) systems—not compatible with CO₂ or Green gas. It must be filled from an HPA tank regulated to approximately 800–850 PSI, typically using the upper component of the FiSt‑2 Filling Station. -
Rifled Barrel for Accuracy
Incorporates a rifled internal barrel, which imparts spin to the projectile—boosting both accuracy and range compared to non-rifled 40 mm shells. -
Robust Construction
Features a polymer outer barrel paired with a metal base, offering a strong yet lightweight build. Its extruded composite plastic outer sleeve is particularly durable—users cite it as “strong as a god’s ass.” -
Field-Ready Performance
Ideal for rapid use, the Shell‑HPA doesn’t waste gas and delivers a notably loud report on dry-firing—useful for signalling or simulation. -
Weather-Resilient Consistency
By using dry HPA instead of gas, performance remains consistent regardless of temperature or humidity, ensuring stable ballistics in various conditions. -
Compatibility with TAG‑ML36 Aiming System
Because of its ballistics matching the TAG-ML36 launcher (when upgraded with HPA), existing targeting systems and optics are interchangeable. -
Maintenance and Repair Support
If components wear out or are lost, replacement internal kits are available from TAGInnovation-approved support channels.
Recommended Usage
-
Filling Protocol
Use the FiSt-2 filling station’s upper adapter to charge the Shell-HPA from a regulated HPA tank. -
Aiming and Ballistics
Benefit from the spin-stabilized, rifled design to improve accuracy—ideal even when paired with ML36 sights. -
Maintain Regularly
Apply a dab of silicone oil in the filler valve periodically to keep gas seals healthy. -
Repair-Friendly
Keep a spare internal kit handy if you ever need to service or rebuild the launcher—especially useful during field operations.
The Tag Innovations Shell-HPA is a top-tier, durable, and precise launching shell built for serious airsoft and MilSim use. Combining the reliability of HPA with rifled accuracy and a quick gas-efficient design, it serves as an excellent tool for players seeking performance and consistency in any climate.
