Description
Ares SCAR-H Grenade Launcher (Black – GL-05)
The Ares SCAR-H Grenade Launcher (GL-05) is a black 40mm underbarrel airsoft launcher designed for SCAR-H style replicas. It is styled on the type of launcher module used with the SCAR family, so it suits the modern, angular lines of the SCAR rather than looking like an add-on borrowed from another platform.
Ares is a well-known maker of airsoft replicas, including SCAR-H rifles, and this launcher lets SCAR-H owners add a 40mm support capability to their rifle. It is a natural choice for milsim players, support roles and anyone completing a SCAR-themed loadout.
Design
The black finish matches black SCAR-H rifles. The launcher mounts beneath the rifle, keeping the setup balanced and the controls within easy reach of your support hand. The exact mounting method should be checked against the product images, and it is worth confirming fit with your specific rifle, as SCAR-H replicas vary between makers.
How it works
The GL-05 fires 40mm airsoft gas shells. Fill a shell with gas, load it with BBs and insert it into the launcher; when fired, the gas drives a spread of BBs out of the shell. This makes it ideal for clearing a room or suppressing a defended position at shorter ranges, while your rifle handles longer engagements.
On the field
A SCAR-H with an underbarrel launcher is a heavy, front-weighted combination, so a good two-point sling makes it much more comfortable to carry for a full day. Keep prepared shells in a dedicated pouch for fast reloads, and practise loading at home. Check your site’s rules on launchers before bringing it to a game.
Shells and gas
Use 40mm airsoft gas shells, filled with the gas the shell’s maker recommends and loaded with clean BBs. Different shells give different spreads and BB counts, so it is worth trying a few types on a range to see which suits the way you play. Fill shells before the game, keep them upright in a pouch, and never overfill them.

Designed for SCAR-H style replicas. Different makers’ SCAR-H rifles can differ in their lower rails and front ends, so check the images and confirm the fit with your rifle before ordering. It takes 40mm airsoft gas shells.
Care and maintenance
Keep the launcher tube clean and free of dirt, grit and stray BBs, and check that the mounting hardware is tight before every game, as vibration and knocks can loosen it over time. Wipe the launcher down after wet or muddy games and let it dry before storing. Look after your shells too: put a drop of silicone oil on the fill valve and seals, never overfill them, and store them with a little gas inside to keep the seals supple.
Who is it for?
The GL-05 is for SCAR-H owners, milsim and support players who want a matching black 40mm launcher for their rifle.
Please note: 40mm shells, gas and BBs are sold separately; the rifle is not included. Always wear suitable eye protection when shooting.
