The Deadlywind carbon fiber foregrips are yet another paintball first. We took REAL, 100% authentic CF tube and turned it into the lightest, fastest looking foregrips on the planet.
Do you run an airline directly from your tank to the mag valve? Do you have a heavy, clunky foregrip? We have the answer.
Light + strong- Real carbon fiber allows these foregrips to be very lightweight while at the same time very strong. Weighing in at just 1.6 oz, one of these are pretty much required if you are going for the lightest setup around. We even went so far as to ULE mill the darn things!
Available in 10 degree slope (either forwards or backwards, just flip it around). AM/MM (Dallara) style with 1x 1/4-20 mounting hole + wings, or RTPro (Karta) style with 2x 10-32 mounting holes. Available in red, black, and blue. |

| The DeadlyWind Carbon Fiber Foregrips are newer, so they should be commonly available, both new and used. |

| Review: |
Can be used forward or reversed, to better suit whatever feel you are going for. These are VERY, VERY light. Actually 3 pieces (top cap, carbon shaft & bottom cap) all held together by one really long screw, very simple to disassemble if you wanted to re-anodize it. Available for Mags only in a Classic or RT style. |
|
| Conclusion: |
If you run your air straight from your ASA to your Mag valve like I do, you should really look into getting one! Keeps the weight down and provides a cool feel and profile! |

| Review: |
I use this on my pump kit Mag.
(yes, I know a pump gun doesn't need a vertical grip because you hold the pump in your hand rather than a grip)
However this gives me an alternative grip to carry my gun with if I am running or crawling into position.
(SEE MY PHOTO I posted ABOVE to see my gun with the grip)
It is super light so I don't notice it al all. I mounted mine angled back towards the trigger frame so it is comfortably out of the way and doesn't interfere at all with my pump handle or pump stroke. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Super lightweight, sturdy, and reversible mounting options = a great buy. |

| Review: |
I picked this up for my mag at the recommendation of a fellow mag-nut. My Deadly Wind Karta-bodied mag really needed a foregrip besided the reg I was temporarily using.
The grip came fairly fast considering the holidays, it didn't come with instructions, but taking ten seconds to think about it, anyone who can take the body off their mag can put this on.
Thus far I have enjoyed the feel and look of my DW grip. I haven't found anything negative yet. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Good product, great company. No issues. |

| Review: |
This is an excellent upgrade to any AGD marker. I dont know the exact weight savings, but it is substantial. The length of the grip is perfect, along with the angle.
I did notice that after the first game, the carbon fiber tube handle would twist as the main screw loosened up. I would recommend some loctite on the threads and some adhesive between the grip and attaching member to prevent it from twisting.
Also, the grip does not attach square to my Tac One; When AGD started making the lightweight rail, they changed the mounting screw pattern to a 45' angle off center-line. Because of this, the grip heads off at an angle instead of directly forward. Ironically, this actually makes the grip more comfortable. I have tried contacting Deadly wind via Email and have left messages about this, but unfortunately my calls have gone unanswered.

|
| Conclusion: |
Heck of a product for a great gun. |
