5KU QD Aluminium Ultralight Vertical Grip - Type 2

The 5KU QD Aluminium Ultralight Vertical Grip Type 2 is designed for airsoft players who want to combine maximum control with the lowest possible weight. Thanks to its skeletal aluminium construction, Quick Detach (QD) mounting and compatibility with Picatinny rails, this vertical grip is a practical upgrade for both CQB and outdoor replicas. The grip provides extra stability whilst firing and also features internal storage space for up to four CR123A batteries.

Whether you want to be able to aim more quickly, hold your replica more comfortably or always have spare batteries to hand, this vertical grip adds functionality without making your replica unnecessarily heavier.

A lightweight design without compromise

Whilst many vertical grips are fully enclosed and feel relatively heavy, 5KU has opted for a skeletonised design for the Type 2. This removes excess material without compromising on strength.

For players who move around a lot or carry their replica for long periods, this means a noticeably lower overall weight. This helps to improve the replica’s balance, particularly on compact AR platforms, SMGs or PCC builds.

What’s more, the minimalist design fits in perfectly with modern tactical builds.

Greater control whilst shooting

A vertical grip is much more than just a cosmetic accessory. By creating a natural and consistent hand position, this grip helps you hold the replica more steadily during rapid aim changes and intense skirmishes.

You’ll really notice the benefits during:

• Snelle target transitions.
• CQB games where speed is key.
• Shooting from awkward positions.
• Wearing the replica for long periods.

Many players also use a vertical grip as a reference point for their support hand, which makes every shooting stance quicker and more consistent.

Quick Detach for quick assembly

The QD attachment allows you to quickly fit or remove the grip without having to make any complicated adjustments to your replica.

This is particularly useful if you regularly switch between different set-ups or use multiple replicas. You can attach the grip to any Picatinny rail in a matter of seconds, without having to readjust everything each time.

This makes this grip not only practical during a skirmish, but also when you’re customising or transporting your replica at home.

Integrated storage for CR123A batteries

A distinctive feature of this vertical grip is its internal storage compartment.

The grip can hold up to four CR123A batteries. This is ideal for players who use accessories such as:

• Coat-of-arms lamps.
• Lasers.
• Optics powered by CR123A batteries.
• Other tactical accessories that run on these batteries.

That way, you’ll always have spare batteries to hand without having to set aside extra space in your kit.

Sturdy aluminium construction

The 5KU QD Aluminium Ultralight Vertical Grip is made entirely from aluminium. This makes the grip more resistant to intensive use than many plastic alternatives.

Aluminium not only provides a robust construction, but also feels solid when in use. What’s more, the black finish blends in seamlessly with virtually any modern airsoft replica.

Thanks to its combination of strength and light weight, this grip is a durable upgrade that will last for years.

Practical insights

Many players opt for a vertical grip purely for the look of their replica. In practice, however, it is the extra point of control that proves to be a major advantage. During fast-paced CQB games, a fixed hand position helps players switch between targets more quickly and keep the replica steady.

The built-in battery compartment is also a feature that is often underestimated. Particularly during longer skirmishes or MilSim events, it’s handy to have spare batteries readily available on the replica itself, without having to rummage around in a pouch or rucksack.

Who is the 5KU QD Aluminium Ultralight Vertical Grip Type 2 suitable for?

This vertical grip is ideal for airsoft players who want to give their replica greater control without adding much extra weight. Thanks to the universal Picatinny mount, it fits a wide range of AR platforms, AKs, SMGs and other replicas that feature a Picatinny handguard.

For players building a compact CQB set-up or a modern tactical set-up, this grip offers an excellent combination of functionality, durability and a sleek look.

Key features

• Lightweight skeletonised design reduces the overall weight of the replica.
• Made from aluminium for a strong and durable construction.
• Quick Detach (QD) system for quick assembly and disassembly.
• Suitable for Picatinny rails and therefore highly versatile.
• Internal storage compartment for up to four CR123A batteries.
• Black finish that goes well with almost any modern airsoft replica.

Common mistakes

A common mistake is mounting a vertical grip on an M-LOK or KeyMod handguard without first fitting a Picatinny rail segment. This grip is only suitable for Picatinny rails.

In addition, the internal storage compartment is sometimes used for batteries of a different size. The storage compartment is specifically designed for CR123A batteries, so other types may not fit properly.
