Wolverine Airsoft INFERNO Gen 2 HPA Engine with Spartan Electronics
The Wolverine Airsoft INFERNO Gen 2 with Spartan Electronics is an HPA engine for converting an airsoft electric gun to run on compressed air. It replaces the motor, gears and piston of an AEG gearbox with a solenoid-driven valve, giving a crisp, immediate trigger response, excellent shot-to-shot consistency and far fewer moving parts to wear.
Wolverine Airsoft is one of the best-known names in airsoft HPA, and the INFERNO Gen 2 is its drop-in engine for AEG gearbox shells. The Spartan Electronics package adds an integrated trigger board and fire control unit with simple trigger-based tuning, making it a popular choice for players moving into HPA for the first time.
How the INFERNO Gen 2 works
Retailer listings describe a single solenoid with an independent poppet and nozzle, and a hybrid design that allows a pause between BB loading and firing. Wolverine’s aim is to keep the advantages of open-bolt engines, such as easy tuning and good air efficiency, while avoiding the usual drawbacks. One listing describes an estimated 10 to 15 percent efficiency improvement over previous systems.
Other retailer listings of the INFERNO Gen 2 give adjustable dwell and rate of fire, an input pressure range of 60 to 140 PSI with Wolverine’s STORM regulator recommended, and a 6 to 8V battery input on a JST connector to power the electronics.
Spartan Electronics
A retailer listing of the Spartan Edition describes an integrated trigger board and fire control unit, with semi and full auto selected through the replica’s own selector switch. Dwell and rate of fire are set using Wolverine’s Live Fire Tuning: you enter programming mode by holding the trigger while plugging in the battery, adjust dwell in semi while firing over a chronograph, adjust rate of fire in full auto, then unplug the battery to save. The listing describes the whole process as taking under a minute.
Wolverine sells the INFERNO Gen 2 in versions for different gearbox types, such as the Version 2 gearbox used in M4-pattern AEGs. The gearbox version of this unit is not stated in the details we hold, so please contact us to confirm it matches your replica before ordering.

Compatibility
The INFERNO Gen 2 fits inside a compatible AEG gearbox shell, and Wolverine makes versions for different gearbox types. Confirm your replica’s gearbox version with us before ordering. You will also need an HPA tank, a regulator, an air line and a small battery to power the electronics; whether any of these are supplied is not stated in the details we hold, so please ask. Wolverine publishes installation tips for its engines, and we recommend having the engine fitted by an experienced technician if you have not converted a replica before.
Care and maintenance
Keep the air supply clean and dry, and fit a regulator so the engine always sees a steady pressure within its input range. Disconnect the air line and the electronics battery when the replica is stored.
Follow Wolverine’s manual for O-ring lubrication and servicing, clean the inner barrel regularly, and use good quality seamless BBs. Always chronograph after any change to the dwell or the input pressure.
Who is it for?
The INFERNO Gen 2 with Spartan Electronics is for players who want to convert an AEG to HPA for its consistency, crisp trigger and easy tuning, and who want straightforward electronics that can be tuned at the field in a minute.
Please note: Always wear suitable eye protection when using airsoft replicas, and have your replica chronographed at your site after conversion and before play.
