Has anyone come across this new Gas Shell by Airsoft Innovations?

Get a 10 feet spread at 100 feet! Unrivaled range! Experience how dominant you can be when you put ballistics first!

150 BBs

Hit 'em hard and hit em 150 times. The 40 Mike is easy to load and easy to fire, so you can put the maximum number of BBs downrange.

Saw some videos of it on Instagram, one was Novritsch. The thing is crazy!

Yup, that can sod off, then keep sodding off, then sod off some more.  It looks like the equivalent of full-auto mag dumping a large midcap in an uncontrollable ejaculation that's bound to hit every exposed body part. That's uber-overkill and if you did it in any other way with any other weapon it would get you kicked off site.

The fact that they're explicitly marketing it as painful should tell you everything you need to know.



I've just watched that.  The video opens with him shooting it in a safe zone where players aren't wearing eye protection.  A lifetime ban would be too short.

Probably a grey area even in legality for the UK, depending on the gas you might put in to it, whether it counts as automatic fire etc; but that's a minefield and I'm not a lawyer.

One of the worst airsoft products I've ever seen.  I mean at long ranges lobbing beebs in... maybe ok for use, like TAGs, but then it'd be totally ineffective anyway.  At closer distances and direct fire, what difference is there between this and a disgustingly long burst of full auto?  None.  It's not acceptable general game play to dump an entire midcap in to someone in a single trigger pull through a high RoF gun and that's all this is.  In fact the difference is with your gun you can let your finger off the trigger after firing a few shots, this abomination goes from zero to retard in the blink of an eye and there's no going back.

I'd never heard of it before, surely it's like dropping a nuke on the site!

In the wrong hands it could also give a very bad name to airsoft

 
IMHO the 40 mike is for sadists. The sort of people who will overkill, mag dump and head shot (when a body shot is possible). The sort of people who enjoy inflicting serious pain on others.
In short, it's for cunts, plain and simple.
Anyone using it can fuck off.......
 

 
Pretty much every video I've seen it in (especially the novritsch one), a single pistol shot would do the same job. So what's the justification for the other 129 BBs? It's not a spread weapon. To fire at long range and suppress an area, sure, great. But it's marketed as a CQB weapon, and that's how it's being used. At the range people are firing it at, one player is the target for all of those BBs. 

I get that they must be fun to shoot, but it does pose the question; there's a guy you want to shoot, do you want to hit him with 1 BB or 130 BBs? Personally I don't play to hurt people. If I wanted to hurt people on a Sunday afternoon I'd cheat the chrono and go out with a hot gun. I'd also be banned from most sites and might even be charged for common assault, so....

 
First I heard of it was my local site banning it! ?

Ive had some seriously painful sniper hits and that’s just a single BB so can’t imagine the pain of this hitting bare skin.  

 
Even me, who’s constantly telling people to stop being bitches and ‘no pain no gain’ thinks these are so unnecessary. 150 rounds at 250 FPS. That’s pretty much a pts midcap out of a TM recoil. 

I dont mind high fps, like the TAG rounds, loud pyro, but what I cannot stand is overkill. You hit me with the first shot. A following 149 is going to earn you a black eye

 
I thought I'd do the sums on it.  Each BB is only doing 240fps (0.53J), but there are 150 of them.  That's 79.5J, or the same energy as 70 BBs shot at 350fps (1.13J).

Each impact is less, but if you've been hit by a tri-shot at close range, you'll know what 3 x 240fps can feel like if it gets you in a squishy or bony bit.  Imagine walking round a corner to find fifty tri-shot barrels pointed at you, all of which open up within 1/3rd of a second.

 
I don’t mind the pain, it’s the damage I’m more concerned about. 

They were normal ballistic lenses. Shot them out of the frame.

Black ops have banned it from all there sites as well .

i did use to like Noverich but after seeing the way he misused it ? Not anymore that’s for certain !

and as Borg said when he fired it in the safe area ? Don’t even want to think what could have happened !

Exactly my point against it since day one , everyone who’s a fan of it keeps banging on about its only 200-240fps or a sniper does 500fps !” It’s the combined potential energy on impact of so many bbs on a small area that worries me .

As the good mr Borg has worked out for us !     

 
I asked my wife to test out my Springer shotgun on my back, I didn't breathe for a short time?

It was in a small room and I had no t shirt, I will  not be asking anyone to shoot me close range again

I haven't been hit by a tri-shot yet, when you put it like that it's insane.

It's damn cool in concept but it's just overkill to the max, if I got hit point blank range with it I would absolutely lose my sh!t and launch an AK at them?

 
link to the video. Read the comment from the company ?
