The WRAITH X was designed around a compact tank living inside a purpose-made stock. That is a superb arrangement for speedsoft and for anyone who hates a line, but it does tie you to one stock and to filling a tank between games. This kit changes the proposition: it swaps the tank arrangement for a CO2 cartridge system, so a spare cartridge in a pouch replaces a trip to the fill station.
Because the kit is built around a milspec buffer tube, it also removes the stock restriction. Anything that fits a standard AR buffer tube will go on, which for a lot of builders is reason enough on its own — the WRAITH X handling with a stock you actually chose.
The expansion chamber is the part doing the real work. CO2 leaves a cartridge cold and at wildly varying pressure; the chamber gives it somewhere to stabilise before it reaches the regulator, which is what keeps shot-to-shot consistency respectable rather than erratic.

Frequently asked questions
Do I keep the ability to run a tank afterwards? Yes — the original components are not consumed by fitting this, so you can move back to the tank stock whenever you prefer.
How many shots from a cartridge? Wolverine publish no figure, and it varies enormously with pressure, dwell and ambient temperature, so we will not invent one. Expect a 33g to go considerably further than a 12g.
Is CO2 allowed at every site? Not always. Some sites restrict cartridge systems, and cold weather affects consistency. Check with your site before committing to a CO2 build.
