A 40mm shower shell is the ammunition your launcher actually fires. You charge it with green gas, load it with BBs, drop it into the launcher and pull the trigger — the shell vents through its internal barrels and throws every BB downrange at once in a spreading cone.
This 72-round version is the smallest in Nuprol's range and the sensible place to start. Seventy-two BBs is still more than most players put out in a single burst, and the lower capacity means less gas per fill and a quicker reload between engagements.
It is fully reusable. Refill it, re-gas it, and it goes again all day, which is why shells are a one-off purchase rather than a consumable like pyro. It fires by pressing the button on the base, so it also works as a hand-thrown area device if your site permits it.

Good to know before you buy
One shell gives you one shot before reloading, so most players carry three to five. If you know you want several, the multi-packs work out cheaper per shell.
Frequently asked questions
How many shots do I get?
One. The shell fires its entire payload in a single trigger pull, then needs re-gassing and reloading — which is why players carry several.
Does it fit my launcher?
It fits standard 40mm airsoft launchers, which covers the great majority of pistol, break-action and revolver-pattern platforms.
Is gas included?
No. You charge the shell with green gas yourself before play.
