Description
Designed, tested and made in Queensland.
Six months of prototyping and range work went into the Shark platform, chasing a single result: the most consistent hop a gelball can be given. The Adjustable adds one thing to that — control. It’s printed in engineering resin: light, dimensionally stable, and strong where it needs to be.
Three custom elements, working together
- The tongue. Length and surface texture engineered around a gel travelling at roughly 300 FPS — enough grip to spin the gel cleanly without deforming it.
- The air porting. Excess compressed air is vented and dispersed before the gel is spun, so the hop is applied to a gel in clean air rather than one fighting its own pressure wave. The result is a flatter, straighter flight with far less vertical scatter.
- The bottom lip. A custom profile that suppresses the side spin responsible for curving fliers — and side spin is what opens up a group more than anything else. This is where the tightest groups come from.
Dial it in
A grub screw sets tongue pressure, so you tune the hop to your gels, your spring and your barrel instead of hoping they all agree. Run unsorted gels, swap brands mid-season, change spring weight, move from a 7.5 mm barrel to a 7.3 mm — the Shark Adjustable comes with you.
Starting point: wind the adjuster in until it just contacts the tongue, then add hop a quarter turn at a time, checking groups at 10–15 m. When gels start climbing or tumbling at the end of their flight you’ve gone a touch too far — back off a quarter turn. Most setups land inside two full turns of the contact point.
Fitment
| Inner barrel ID | 7.5 mm optimal · 7.3 mm supported |
| Barrel OD | 9.5 mm only |
| Exposed inner barrel required | 12.8 mm |
| Mounting | Friction fit, grub-screw locked |
| Adjustment | Grub screw — in for more hop, out for less |
| Material | Engineering resin |
| Suits | Sorted or unsorted gels |
Installation
Leave exactly 12.8 mm of inner barrel protruding. The Shark is a friction fit over that length — push it on square and fully home, then tighten the retaining grub screw. Set your hop last, once the unit is locked in position. Snug is enough on both screws; this is resin, not steel.
Before you order — check your barrel OD. The Shark mounts on the outside diameter of the inner barrel and fits 9.5 mm OD only. 7.3 mm and 7.5 mm IDs are both covered; OD is not negotiable.
Overall length 51.5mm, Overall width 18.5 mm
