SHS Cylinder head with short pad for G36

In a gearbox, there are parts you forget about… until something starts hitting a bit too hard. And the cylinder head clearly deserves your full attention.

With this SHS cylinder head for G36, you’re looking at a simple upgrade, but extremely effective for improving the durability and consistency of your AEG.

A shock-absorbing pad to protect your internals

The key point here is the presence of an integrated shock-absorbing pad (PAD).

In practical terms, with each cycle:

the impact between the piston head and the cylinder head is absorbed
vibrations are reduced
overall gearbox wear is decreased

And over time, that makes all the difference.

Especially if you’re running a stronger spring… or a higher rate of fire.

Compatible with V3 gearboxes and G36 platforms

This cylinder head is designed for V3 gearboxes, particularly those found in G36 airsoft replicas.

You can easily integrate it into:

a standard G36 AEG replica
a performance-oriented custom setup
a complete gearbox rebuild

It’s a reliable base, designed to fit without any bad surprises.

Ideal compatibility with aluminum piston heads

Good news for custom enthusiasts:

This cylinder head is perfectly compatible with:

aluminum piston heads
reinforced configurations
durability-focused setups

The right cylinder head + piston head combo allows you to optimize:

air seal
compression
shot consistency

And that’s where you start getting into real fine-tuning.

Why upgrade your airsoft cylinder head?

You think it’s just a detail? In reality, it’s a central part of the firing cycle.

A good cylinder head allows:

better shock absorption
reduced mechanical noise
increased gearbox longevity
more stable compression

This is typically the kind of discreet upgrade… but highly rewarding.

An excellent choice to reinforce your G36

Whether you’re reinforcing your replica or building a more advanced setup, this SHS part does the job perfectly.

Simple, durable, effective.

Honestly, it’s the kind of component you install once… and you’re glad you chose it after several games.
