Description
Specification

A small part that keeps your AEG feeding

The tappet plate is one of the hardest-working components in a Version 3 gearbox. It rides on the sector gear and drives the air nozzle back and forth, chambering a fresh BB on every cycle. If it cracks or wears, the gun simply stops feeding, so a reliable tappet plate is fundamental to a working AEG.

Reinforced Rocket (SHS) quality

This Rocket (SHS) tappet plate is moulded from a tough, flexible reinforced polymer that is stronger than many stock plates while still cycling quickly. Manufactured by SHS (Super Shooter) and often boxed under the Rocket name, it is a trusted, widely used component in the airsoft tech community.

Built for high rate of fire

Because the reinforced material resists the flex fatigue that cracks weaker plates, it is a popular choice for high rate-of-fire builds where stock parts are prone to failure. Fitting one is cheap insurance against a mid-game stoppage.

Direct drop-in fit

It is a direct replacement for the standard plate in any compatible V3 gearbox, including AK Varients including AK-47 and AK74 platforms. No trimming or modification is required, making it an easy job during a routine rebuild or repair.

Frequently asked questions

What does a tappet plate do?

The tappet plate rides on the sector gear and moves the air nozzle back and forth. This chambers a fresh BB on each cycle, so it is essential for feeding. A cracked tappet plate stops the gun feeding entirely.

Which gearboxes does it fit?

It is made for the Version 2 (V2) gearbox, found in M4/M16, MP5 and many other AEGs. It is a direct drop-in replacement for the standard plate in a V2 shell.

Is Rocket the same as SHS?

Yes. The part is manufactured by SHS (Super Shooter) and is frequently packaged under the Rocket Airsoft name. Quality and fitment are the same well-known SHS component.

Why upgrade from the stock plate?

The reinforced polymer is stronger and more flexible than many stock plates, so it resists cracking under stress. That makes it a near-essential upgrade for high rate-of-fire builds where the stock part can fail.

Do I need to modify anything to fit it?

No. It drops straight into a standard V2 gearbox during a rebuild or repair. If you would rather not open the gearbox yourself, our airsoft repair service in Kent can fit it.
