Wolverine Inferno Gen 2 Review: First Impressions

What makes the Gen 2 different?

The Wolverine Inferno Gen 2 is the latest and most advanced drop-in HPA system to date, or at least according to its manufacturer Wolverine Airsoft. This system boasts truly incredible performance but is it worth the hefty price tag? Well lets see what Wolverine has to say about its latest product. . . “The GEN 2 Inferno is the culmination of a great deal of work to take the next step forward in the development of HPA technology. Over the past couple years since the launch of the SMP, multiple other companies saw the value of this type of technology and have attempted to replicate its performance. The Gen2 once again leaves everyone far behind.

The GEN 2 Inferno features a revolutionary single solenoid. Independent poppet and nozzle design that sets a new standard for a drop in kit. Particularly, it is designed to solve the “open bolt problem”. It is a hybrid design which keeps the advantages of an open bolt system: easy tuning, no first round dry fire, efficiency, etc… and adds the simplicity of easier hop up tuning that closed bolt systems have traditionally offered. In addition, it further improves the efficiency over our previous systems by an estimated 10-15%.”

I’m not going to lie the unboxing experience leaves you feeling cheated out of your money.”Did I really just spend my paycheck on this?”. Packaged in the same generic plastic box that one would normally find some off the shelf flashlight lies the Gen 2 Inferno. With its shiny CNC machining and laser printed design all thoughts of its questionable price tag melt away. This is one of the few airsoft products that’s quality matches its performance, and it performs really really well.
