For players who run high-demand setups or play long milsim events where refilling isn’t always possible, the 88ci Alpha is the practical choice. More air capacity than the 77ci, still within a manageable size, and built to the same ultra-light Alpha standard that makes HK Army’s tanks the benchmark for the platform.
Fully certified to UK RHO and EU Pi regulations with independent inspection and a 5-year hydro test standard — a meaningful detail for UK players. At 243mm bottle length and 112mm diameter, it sits comfortably on most stocks. Built from carbon fibre wrapped aluminium, inspected, and ready for serious field use.
