Plastic
Standard Shooters
- EZShooter (right spin):
This is the standard right spin shooter/launcher. The winder/rip cord is inserted in the back end, and to attach the Beyblade, you put both teeth of the launcher in the openings beside the Bit Chip.
- EZShooter (left spin):
Same as EZShooter right spin, except it has a different design and is for left spin.
Grips
The purpose of all grips is to increase players launching stability and accuracy. All experienced players should use a grip when playing.
- Customize Grip:
Both types of EZShooters can be placed into these. You can customize this grip with various other parts, such as metal grip, rubber grip, spring support, and the metal trigger. Hasbro released this grip as the “Dragoon Grip” and “Dranzer Grip”.
- Marksmen Grip:
Both types of EZShooters can be placed into these. The special feature of this grip is the sniper scope. When in the vertical position, this scope emits a red light that is supposed to be used to project where your Beyblade will land when launched.
- Dranzer/Driger/Dragoon Shooter:
EZShooters are not required to use these shooters. All three of these electronic shooters are designed to represent the bit beast they are named after. When turned on, you are able to play various mini-games related to Beyblade by using the winder and Bit Chips. Next to the RC shooter, this series is the second largest grip available.
- RC Shooter:
EZShooters are not required to use this shooter. This shooter was included with Remote Control Beyblades. When turned on, the trigger was pushed forward or backward to control the RC Beyblade. The RC shooter is the largest grip available in the game, in both plastic and HMS.
- Duotron Launcher:
With this, you are able to launcher two Beyblades at once, using one winder. This launcher is very inconsistent; launching one Beyblade at a time right after each other is more efficient.

Standard Shooters
- Dual Shooter:
Unlike the plastic generation, the Dual Shooter, as suggested by the name has the ability of selecting spin direction by simply flipping the G Winder and placing it in it’s appropriate hole. This capability opened up many possibilities for the whole HMS series as there is no need to change any parts which you were once forced to do with plastic Beyblades. Attaching HMS Beyblades to the Dual Shooter is similar to the plastic generation, just line up the two clips with the end of the Bit Protector and two smaller ones will clamp onto the BP. It is common for Dual Shooters to not be very reliable, some even useless, so finding a working Dual Shooter is vital.
HMS Grips
- HMS Customize Grip:
This grip is basically an updated version of the Customize Grip from the plastic generation, except it can be used by both left handed and right handed players. To do this, you remove the compartment the Dual Shooter is placed into and slide the grip onto the other side. As with the Customize Grip, the HMS Customize Grip can be customized by adding the spring trigger or rubber grip.
- Running Shooter:
This shooter was included with Round Shell MS for use in its running mode. For more information on the Running Shooter, please see Round Shell MS’s article.
