Description
APS Hell Fire Grenade (162 Rounds, CO2 Powered, XP-02)
The APS Hell Fire is a CO2-powered 40 mm style grenade shell from APS, model code XP-02, in the version that holds 162 rounds. It is designed to put a large number of BBs downrange at once, which makes it a useful tool for clearing a room, breaking up a defensive position or adding some pressure to an objective push.
APS also makes the Thor grenade launcher pistol, which has been offered as a package with the Hell Fire shell, and the shell format makes it a natural fit for players who already run 40 mm launchers. It suits support players, CQB fans and anyone who wants a dramatic area-effect option in their loadout.
How it works
Like other gas-powered grenade shells, the Hell Fire is loaded with BBs and charged with gas, then fired from a compatible launcher. The stored gas pushes the whole load of BBs out together, giving a wide spread rather than a single stream. This version is designed to run on CO2 rather than green gas, and its capacity is 162 rounds.
Because a single shell delivers so many BBs, timing and placement matter. Most players use shells like this to clear a doorway or corridor, or to force opponents out of cover before a push.
On the field
Many sites have their own rules on grenade shells, launchers and minimum engagement distances, so check with your site before bringing one to a game. Carry spare shells pre-loaded in a suitable pouch so you can reload quickly when it counts.

The Hell Fire is a 40 mm style shell intended for compatible launchers, including the APS Thor. Fit can vary between launcher brands, so check that your launcher accepts this shell type before ordering. Use 6 mm airsoft BBs.
Care and maintenance
Release any remaining gas before storing the shell, and do not leave it charged for long periods. A light application of silicone oil on the seals helps keep them supple. Keep the shell clean and dry, and check it for damage before loading.
Never use damaged or dented shells, and always load and charge the shell following the manufacturer’s instructions.
