Yeah, I knew you could get the rounds because a guy I know who had one at one point and he’d reload his 40mm rounds

Well not exactly an M79 but it was a grenade launcher

Also, 10k for an NFA gun is pretty cheap

I’ve seen full auto lowers go for more

I was just thinking about loading your own.

Lol.

Though the whole process would be weird... and supplies are probably impossible to get

Nah just buy 50lbs of tannerite

ez

I wouldn’t mind owning one lol

Or make black powder. Cheaper, easier, and more destructive. You could buy it, but I bet making some would be more fun haha

But how would it explode on contact?

And not in the gun itself...

That would be the tricky part

I think it’s just a timer on the shell. Idk. I’m not exactly a munitions expert lol

Maybe could just set a fuse?

I do know that inside, one the arm on the grenade releases, it strikes a pin, kinda like on a gun, and makes a spark and lights the powder inside, I’m not sure about the grenade launchers though, it most likely is some sort of delay or fuse.

*when

Most 40mm grenades have impact fuses

If not, they can be set to explode after a certain distance by counting rotations

Yeah. Lol. Idk how parts would be acquired. I mean. Im sure you could rig something up, but damn, thats gonna be a pain

I'm sure there are slightly illegal instructions on the internet

🤣

The standard 40mm HE grenade typically arms itself after 3 rotations. Meaning if it falls out of your vest and rolls down the hill, dont pick it up.

I guess I know how to tick off my local SWAT operator

Thanks @Ironman

Doesn't it have to be primed before that happens? @Ironman

I dont think they need to be primed by any means. I was told by the range cadre that it arms itself after 3 rotations. I never had a 203. I had a large bag of bandaids.

I mean... that would suck for anyone carrying them. It could have shook up in transport or something. Even being put into the box...

I would bet it has to be armed first

Big bandaids or little one?

What if theyre on your belt and you spin around 3 times? I mean... it has to be primed first.

So, you would have to figure that out. And how to make it explode on contact as well as arm itself after its launched...

Seems.like.a big pain in the ass

I think it’s 3 rotations once fired. How would the round know if it had rotated or if it’s just on a belt and someone slings it on? Considering a lot of grenades that come out of launchers have an arming distance, it’s probably flight time and/or speed rather than rotations.

Just a guess

what’s your guys favorite smg

Lol people like smgs?

Nah

if i would choose an smg, it would be this one
