Nuprol Medium Hard Case

Ideal for high-mobility players, the Medium case is perfectly sized for SMGs or short-barreled carbines. It provides enough room for a compact RIF plus additional magazines and a sidearm.

Key Tip: Great for those with limited car boot space or players using a public transport-safe case.

Nuprol Large Hard Case

The "Industry Standard" for airsoft. Most M4-style AEGs and standard assault rifles fit comfortably in the Large case.

Storage Tip: If you run a fixed suppressor or a large optic, the Large case provides the necessary depth to keep your accessories mounted and protected.

Nuprol XL Hard Case

Designed for the long-distance shooters. If you use a sniper rifle or a DMR with a significant barrel length, the XL case is the only way to go.

Bonus: The XL is often large enough to store two smaller rifles side-by-side, making it a great "two-in-one" transport solution.

Pick 'n' Pluck vs. Wave Foam: Which is better?

Pick 'n' Pluck: Features pre-cut foam cubes that you "pluck" out to create a custom-fitted silhouette of your gun. Best for a professional, "locked-in" look.
Wave Foam (Egg Shell): Convoluted foam that presses down on your equipment to hold it in place. Best if you frequently switch between different rifles and don't want a permanent custom cutout.
