We started because nobody made what we needed.
In 2022, I wanted to switch my AAP-01 to HPA. Simple enough, right?
Not in Europe.Every adapter worth buying shipped from the US or Asia. Shipping took weeks. Customs added fees nobody warned you about. Half the products didn't fit without modification. And when something broke, you were looking at a month-long warranty process across the ocean.
I spent hours on Reddit and forums trying to piece together which regulator works with which tank, which hose fits which adapter, and whether any of it would actually clear customs.The HPA community in Europe had the passion. What it didn't have was a single brand that understood what it's like to be a player here.
So I stopped looking for the right product and started building it.
My name is Kristián. I'm from Slovakia. I play airsoft. And in 2023, I launched X Custom with one goal: make plug-and-play HPA accessible to every player in Europe.No guessing which parts you need. No importing from overseas. No waiting. One box, everything inside, ready to play in five minutes.
X Custom products are designed, tested, and manufactured in Europe.
Not assembled — manufactured. Every adapter goes through three generations of iteration before it reaches your hands. The current 3rd generation uses glass-reinforced nylon that's lighter than CNC aluminum, more impact-resistant, and built to last. When we say "lifetime warranty," we mean it. Your adapter breaks? Send it to us. In Europe. We'll send you a new one. In days, not weeks. No shipping to Asia. No month-long wait.That's not a marketing line. That's what happens when the guy who designed the product is also the guy answering your emails.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
HPA should not be complicated. You shouldn't need a tech degree to switch from green gas. You shouldn't need five different shops to build one setup. And you definitely shouldn't wait three weeks for a package that might get stuck in customs.Every product we make starts with one question: would I use this on game day? If the answer is no, we don't ship it.
WHERE WE ARE NOW
Since 2023, X Custom has shipped to players in over 10 countries across Europe. We have 200+ five-star reviews. Our Premium Bundles have become the go-to choice for players switching from green gas to HPA — because they don't have to figure anything out. It just works.But we're not done. We're working on new products, new adapters, and new ways to make HPA simpler. Because every player who switches from gas to HPA and says "why didn't I do this sooner" — that's why we do this.
