Pistelle X-68 Gen2

At the heart of this 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 cartridge can be activated quickly.

The launcher feeds from a 6-round magazine. One additional round can also be loaded into the chamber.

This gives a total ready capacity of:

6 + 1 rounds

If you need extra 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 with:

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

The Joule rating applies to the launcher. It does not mean that every projectile in the package will produce the same impact energy.
