Airsoft Pistol Loading Nozzles

The loading nozzle is the moving part that pushes each BB into the hop-up and directs gas to fire it, before the blowback cycle resets it. A cracked nozzle or tired return spring causes misfeeds, weak blowback and gas leaks.

Our airsoft loading nozzles, nozzle return springs and short stroke kits suit the AAP-01, Hi-Capa, Umarex Glock and MK23, with upgrades from Cow Cow, TTI, Hadron, Pro-Arms and Tridos.

Loading Nozzles

Upgraded nozzles are tougher and seal better than stock parts. Popular choices include the Cow Cow AAP-01 aluminium nozzle, the Cow Cow enhanced loading nozzle set for AAP-01 and the Cow Cow enhanced Hi-Capa nozzle set. For WE pistols, browse our genuine WE spare parts.

Nozzle Return Springs

The nozzle return spring pulls the nozzle forward after each shot. A stronger spring helps the nozzle return fully, improving feeding, especially on full auto or with stronger gas. Choose from the Cow Cow AAP-01 200% spring, Pro-Arms AAP-01 130% spring, Tridos AAP-01 spring set or, for Hi-Capas, the Cow Cow NP1 180% spring and Unicorn Hi-Capa spring set. Umarex Glock owners can fit the Pro-Arms 130% nozzle spring, and MK23 owners the Tridos SSX23/MK23 nozzle spring.

Short Stroke Kits

A short stroke kit shortens the slide's travel, giving a faster, snappier cycle and a higher rate of fire on full-auto pistols such as the AAP-01. Try the TTI AAP-01 CNC short stroke kit or the Hadron short stroke buffer with 300% nozzle spring.
