Bright Orange Finish

The Orange Pistelle X-68 Gen2 uses the same core platform as the standard black model.

The calibre, magazine system, CO₂ system and standard power remain the same as the black Pistelle X-68 Gen2.

Pistelle X-68 Gen2

The main item in the package is the Defense Innovation Pistelle X-68 Gen2.

The launcher uses a 12g CO₂ cartridge inside the pistol grip. Its quick-piercing system allows the cartridge to remain fitted without being pierced during storage.

When needed, the CO₂ system can be activated quickly.

The launcher uses a 6-round magazine. One extra round can also be loaded into the chamber.

This gives a total ready capacity of:

6 + 1 rounds

If you need additional magazines, view the Pistelle X-68 Magazine.

35–51 Joules in Standard Form

The standard Pistelle X-68 Gen2 produces around 35–51 Joules without internal modification.

Actual output can vary according to:

• CO₂ temperature
• Projectile weight
• Projectile type
• Seal condition
• Barrel setup
• Gas pressure
• Launcher condition

The Joule rating applies to the launcher itself.

It does not mean every projectile in the package will produce the same impact energy.

Projectiles Included
