What else?

Waste of time, money? What else do you want? The joys of being guffawed at behind your back at -every- range by -anyone- that knows anything?

I mean, it's cool to show your [airshit] friends who don't know any better but that's it. Now, a proper 40mm system on the other hand....

I agree with Dave, I know shocker...

If you have the extra money for a 37mm launcher, why not take a carbine class? Buy ammunition, reloading equipment? Upgrade an optic, or a sling..

This launcher is the equivalent of 1000 rounds of 5.56. Or at least 840 round ammo can of 193 ball. No one on this site is to the point that additional training or practice isn't needed. Perishable skills.

and yet people buy extra firearms that they don't need and you guys arn't shitting on their threads, should we just buy suppressors then, because I could claim a person needs more training and ammo before they SBR a rifle.

Should I pm you evey time I see some one wasting their time and money on these forums so you can shit on them also? because I'm sure you've done both.

I'm not shitting on his thread. He asked if there is something I thought was better... Yes, training.

To me, a 37mm launcher is a complete waste of money because you can buy absolutely nothing useful to shoot through it. A suppressor is different because hearing is, in fact, useful.

SBR's are useful because they're less cumbersome in tight spaces.

To bad he ment other launchers that arn't made by spikes tact. and not other uses for his money. also he already bought one. . .you can go back to shitting on the thread rather then trying to justify your shitting on the thread

I understand you're defensive about the 37mm launcher because you own one. Makes sense now.

Really, I was trying to give sound advice rather than shit on a thread as you put it. Capitalism is a wonderful system and the OP can buy whatever makes him happy. A few people including myself were trying to point out that it really does nothing, adds a great deal of weight, and can make you look mall ninja-ish. You're right though, I apologize. What do two Marine combat vets, one that teaches numerous carbine/pistol courses professionally throughout the year, really know anyway?

If I wanted to buy something useful I would of bought a new red dot or maybe put money towards a pistol I have been wanting , But I wanted this to fuck around with , its all a matter or opinion, I might not be really impressed with how it was built but I still think its fuckin cool as shit and I would rather have this then a training class ,and I'm not shitting on training because I have spent a lot of money training at Sig. and if I wanted a 40mm I would of just bought one ? I don't see what the big deal is or why you guys are on this like flys on shit.

I have a spikes stand alone launcher. It is pretty nice, mine came with some riot gas grenades and I plan on picking up some breakers and flares. Its a real cool toy and you have a lot of practical options that the debbie downers don't see. Also, I contacted a 37mm ammunition production company and they gave me their loading specifications for all their types of ammo from flechette rounds and buckshot to bird bombs and all the fireworks you see these days. If your interested in this pdf file let me know and send me a message. Welcome to the 37mm club.

Does anyone know of a way to attach a chainsaw to the lower rail on my Bushmaster?

That would be so rad!

Where can you find CS nades? They used to be available (even if pricey) and now they've dried up. Smoke too. and not just the 37mm stuff, the m18 and handheld ALS rubber hand held smoke and CS stuff is impossible to find. Was there some type of judicial ruling/legislation or did ALS just decide to stop selling the stuff?


don't know about the CS but here is where you can find smoke awful pricey though.

Yeah, but I don't have a launcher and those don't put out enough smoke. I wanted the m-18's. Just have to wait and see what pops up. If you do find any, let me know. But PM me as I seem to have contracted a case of the magically disappearing postitis.
