Is that a fucking bottle launcher
I want it
I want 3
@Sadmin Probably for use as a Molotov cocktail projector.
put that shit on an M44 and you got yourself an ok Urban weapon
Look at the cutaway. See how there's no hole in the middle? That's for use with blanks as a grenade or molotov projector. You'd have to take it off to shoot for real.
TBH my dumb ass thought it was some Slavic autism suppressor for a second.
Honestly you could full that with baffles
And the metal plate in front of your bullet?
you could put a hole in the center
I dont think that would be an issue as far as launching it
The point of off-center holes is so the expanding gas doesn't shock the bottles as much when they're being launched.
Add a threaded endcap
fair point
Hit glass with too much force in one place and it breaks. You don't want a broken Molotov on the end of your shit-stick of a Rifle.
a center hole with a cover that can be easily removed, or maybe just make the mounting system such that the launcher can be removed quickly
Look at the picture again. There's no threads on the rifle or projector. It's not permanently attached to the rifle, because it sits independent of the rifle in the picture. It probably just slides on and off the muzzle. Not much quicker or easier than that without compromising safety and/or effectiveness.
fair
its not ideal but its the level of launcher that they had in the period, you could probably do better with a seperate launcher now
Militaries around the world can and have done better. Underslung grenade launchers are fucking amazing compared to WW2 era shit.
dont have to switch to blanks
In terms of being portable direct and indirect fire support within 500 meters, they're also better than things like the M79 just for not having to hump some heavy ass break action around.
Thumpers aren't that heavy
And a 203 on your rifle is kind of unwieldy
And yeah modern rifle nades are more retard proof.
Thumpers aren't that bad Swamp but the 203 is lighter
As for it being on your rifle, that's fair as a downside.
Also thumpers are easier to aim
Personally I think the GP-25 is a bit better in terms of usability.
Ehhhh
Although shoving a nade into the launcher like they do might make me nervous.
its smaller and lighter but it only really works on the AK platform
Oh I know.
the 203 and 320 can be mounted on a lot of rifles with just the lower rail
I think the Commies made a better Underslung launcher TBH.
They didn't but ok
The 320 has a lot of folk complaining that it's heavy and they miss the m203.
Infantry will bitch about anything
is it heavier? I guess it would be, its a stand alone launcher system just attached underbarrel
True but let's look at the situation.What can the M320 offer over the M203 for the added weight?
Ease of use
