Purpose-built for the Next Gen SCAR

The Laylax Prometheus Hard Piston (New Version) is a second-generation upgrade designed specifically for Tokyo Marui Next Generation Recoil Shock SCAR rifles, covering the SCAR-L, SCAR-L CQC and SCAR-H. If you run one of these electric recoil replicas, this is one of the smartest reliability upgrades you can make.

Reinforced to survive recoil

Tokyo Marui’s recoil engine is superb fun but hard on internals, and stock parts often wear far faster than in a standard AEG. This piston is moulded from reinforced high-strength polymer to withstand the added stress of the blowback system, helping your gearbox last significantly longer between rebuilds.

Metal teeth and precise alignment

The first four teeth are metal alloy for strong, positive engagement with the sector gear, the area that takes the most punishment. A redesigned cutaway at the top of the piston improves alignment inside the recoil engine for smoother, more consistent cycling.

Genuine Laylax quality and fitting

Made in Japan to Prometheus standards, it pairs best with a matching Prometheus piston head and cylinder head to minimise angle of engagement issues. Fitting requires opening the gearbox, so if you would rather leave it to the experts, our Kent workshop can carry out the upgrade for you.

Frequently asked questions

Which airsoft guns does this piston fit?

It is designed for the Tokyo Marui Next Generation Recoil Shock SCAR series, confirmed for the SCAR-L, SCAR-L CQC and SCAR-H. It is specific to the Next Gen recoil engine and is not for standard non-recoil AEG gearboxes.

Why upgrade the stock piston?

The Next Gen recoil engine puts extra stress on internal parts, and stock service life can be well below a standard AEG. This reinforced polymer piston with metal front teeth is built to take that punishment and extend gearbox longevity.

Is this a drop-in part?

It is a direct-replacement upgrade for the SCAR recoil gearbox. For best results and to minimise any angle of engagement adjustment, it is best paired with a matching Prometheus piston head and cylinder head.

Do I need any tools or experience to fit it?

Fitting a piston means opening the gearbox, so it is a job for a competent technician or an experienced user. If you are unsure, our in-house repair and servicing team in Kent can fit it for you.

What are the metal teeth for?

The front teeth take the greatest load from the sector gear. Making them metal alloy rather than polymer gives stronger, more reliable engagement and reduces the risk of stripped teeth under recoil loads.
