Description
It won’t make your blaster quieter. Here’s what it actually does.
Straight up: this is a cosmetic shroud. Nothing on a gelball muzzle is worth quietening and we’re not going to pretend otherwise. What it does is look right and fix a real problem while it’s up there.
Not a sound suppressor. It makes no difference to how loud your blaster is. It’s a cosmetic shroud with a barrel stabiliser inside — we’d rather tell you that than sell you a “quieter” blaster. It is a gelball accessory: not designed for, not rated for, and not to be fitted to a firearm.
The barrel stabiliser
A hop can only be as consistent as the barrel it sits on. An unsupported inner barrel can shift between shots, so the muzzle isn’t quite where it was last time.
The mount carries an integrated stabiliser that grips a 9.5 mm OD inner barrel and holds it still — solid barrel, no movement. That’s the part doing the real work.
Room for your hop
The body screws over the mount and gives you 72 mm of internal length and a 27.5 mm internal diameter. If your hop fits inside those figures, it fits in here. The LWI Shark does.
Barrel length — run it long
With the Shark fitted you need a minimum of approximately 20 mm of barrel protrusion. That’s more than the 12.8 mm the Shark itself grips, because the stabiliser needs barrel of its own to hold.
Past that minimum, run the longest barrel that will fit inside the body. The Shark’s air porting vents and disperses the excess air, so the length costs you nothing and there’s no reason to leave the space empty. Screw the body on and check it seats fully — if it meets resistance before it closes, back the barrel off rather than forcing it.
Running a Shark Adjustable?
Set your hop with the body off, then screw it on — the body separates from the mount, so you’re never reaching into a tube. If you’d rather not strip it every time you tune, the Shark Fixed hop is the natural partner for a closed shroud.
Tracers work
A screw-in front adapter is included for mounting a tracer unit at the muzzle end, confirmed working with a Shark hop fitted behind it. You’ll need tracer-compatible glow gels — the tracer charges the gel, the shroud just holds the unit where it needs to be. 14ccw tracer thread
Build
3D printed in-house in Queensland with a textured finish — grippy in the hand, matte under lights. It’s a shroud, not a grip: don’t use it to support the blaster.

Before you order — three ways this doesn’t fit.
- Your muzzle thread must be 14 mm CCW. No adapter is included.
- The stabiliser fits 9.5 mm OD inner barrels.
- Your hop has to fit inside 72 mm of length and a 27.5 mm bore. The LWI Shark does — measure anything else.
Built around the LWI Shark hop-up — the stabilizer, the 9.5 mm OD barrel fitment and the internal diameter are all sized for it. Runs other hops that fit the figures above.
