Does anyone else have a 37mm launcher? What are you firing out of yours?

I just got a ML37 for my AUG and MP5

>>64001235 (OP)
No but I thinking of getting an M203.

Why should i get a 37mm and not a 40mm, besides the added expense for a DD?

>>64001261
For me it was the accessibility of 37mm vs registering it as a DD. If I ever wanted to fire anti-personnel rounds out of the 37mm launcher I could still register it. Also, the ML37 uses the 40mm barrel blanks for their 37mm launchers, which means I would just have to get it rifled to be 40mm

As far as things I can actually shoot, it’s way easier to find 37mm rounds that I don’t have to individually register as DDs to shoot

what exactly do you people do with these things? I don't understand what the use case is

>>64001314
Looking cool

>>64001314
Fun. Mostly for fireworks

For “practical” purposes you can shoot signal flares, smoke grenades, concussive grenades, and bean bag rounds.

>>64001314
Shooting fireworks at my neighbors house at 3 in the morning because he's a fuckhead

Bird bomb some nigger in the face and tell me it sucks.

>>64001235 (OP)
why does your aug have a little blue dick

>>64001261
>Why should i get a 37mm and not a 40mm
One of them is an overpriced overbuilt toy, the other one is a grenade launcher.

>>64001375
Valid

>>64001416
Can you even buy 40mm launchers?

>>64001416
>overpriced overbuilt toy
Right. Like 99% of the guns people own

>>64001406
AK style mag release

>>64001427
Yeah but you need to register them as Destructive Devices.

>>64001406
The magazine release on the AUG sucks ass as you can fail to activate it if your thumb isn't dead center on it because the release goes up into the stock. Extending it further out or making it more similar to the Tavor release makes easier and faster to use

>>64001442
How worth is it to bother? Isn't there a decent market of 37mm smokes, flares, etc. around nowadays?

>>64001286
Non explosive 40mm ordnance doesn't require a seperate tax stamp. I have .410 and .22lr hornet's nest canisters for mine.

>>64001484
This is true for all DD's. Non-explosive ordnance for 20mm, 60mm, 81mm, etc. is not regulated. So you can buy a 60mm mortar with solid projectile training rounds and only the mortar needs the tax stamp.

>>64001484
The hornets nest would be the only reason I’d register mine cause those sound cool as fuck. Is it as fun as it sounds? Do you have a 40mm registered or one of the 37mm hornets nests

>>64001492
That’s cool too.

Another thing is even if I could get projectiles for my 40mm launcher, where the fuck would I shoot them? There are no ranges around me where I could shoot that stuff

>>64001235 (OP)
Kind ruins the profile, doesn't it?

>>64001406
Why are you obsessed with cocks?

>>64001505
Registered 40mm M203. I started with a LMT receiver, which is a Title 1 firearm (only needs a 4473 to purchase). Then I Form 1 registered it as a DD and bought the 40mm barrel. Mounted to an AR.
I bought the hornet's nest canisters off gunbroker. They're reusable and you set them off with a large pistol primer. It's fun, and my indoor range lets me shoot it in there.

>>64001435
>>64001443
neat. had no idea it was a problem.
>>64001517
cmere bro lemme suck that dick

>>64001521

It seems like as far as chalk, flare, fireworks, etc rounds 37mm is way more available and affordable though, no?

>>64001235 (OP)
I have some 37mm ww2 flare pistols, I live on the coast so I rarely shoot them. Mostly I just have them because they're neat.

>>64001314
Noise rounds to scare bears or make flocks of pesty birds fuck off your crops, flares for emergencies, chalk rounds to practice with a very unique weapon system and lots of custom fireworks because you want to play Touhou IRL.

I'd love to buy a real M203, but I don't have anywhere to shoot them and I live in a non-DD state, which is a nonstarter.

>>64001432
Nice cope

>>64001521
Oh that’s neat. I didn’t know they were separate. Kinda nice if you want to get the 37mm or 40mm barrel for the same system

I might register mine and rifle it eventually

>>64001717
Ya bro please tell me how you totally need your 3 ARs and 5 striker fired pistols or your 10 shitrods for home defense or the boogaloo

>>64001783
I only bought 1 AR. The second one was an inheritance, like my Ithaca 37.

And fuck you I like collecting USGI milsurp (M1986, M1903a3, M1917,the rifle not the fun one, and Garand)

>>64001416
A lot of LE agencies use 37mm, it's definitely not a toy. Not sure why I'm replying to a bait post but I AM drunk

>>64001783
>Ya bro please tell me how you totally need your 3 ARs and 5 striker fired pistols or your 10 shitrods for home defense or the boogaloo
You don't belong on this board and you never will. Go back to Arfcom or the MTS circlejerk.

>>64002059
>A lot of LE agencies use 37mm, it's definitely not a toy
All non-lethal also comes in 40mm. If they chose 37mm it's because they were neutered for political correctness.
37mm is cope because 40mm is scary, somehow

>>64002135
Or the more likely answer is that 37mm is cheaper and accomplishes the same job.

>>64001235 (OP)
Yeah, two 37s and a 40
Mostly homemade impact detonating rounds in the 40 and fireworks in the 37s

>>64002150
Kino as fuck. I'm mad jelly.

>>64002139
>Or the more likely answer is that 37mm is cheaper and accomplishes the same job
The ammo? No.
The launchers?
Yes..because they're toys. As I said previously.
Compare a Penn Arms 37mm non-lethal launcher to a Milkor M32, the difference is obvious.

>>64002162
That you acknowledged reading my entire post yet conveniently ignored the latter half tells me two things. That you're an autistic cocksucker, and that you've got a terminal case of contrarianism.
>no you don't get it everyone else thinks these are cool but they're the gayest shit ever
Get a fucking clue you retard.

>>64002158
It's fun as hell

>>64002174
>accomplishes the same job

Ah, yes the : "just as good for what I need it for argument".

Your argument was specifically about LE, implying non-lethal use cases. I'm not arguing that, because I'm fine with that assertion.
Toy are just as good as non-toys to do toy things. You don't need a good rifled barrel for your beanbags.

>>64002218
>You don't need a good rifled barrel for your beanbags.
It really fucking helps though

>>64002225
Beanbags are tail stabilized, not gyroscopically stabilized

>>64002246
And inferior to the B&T SIR in every possible way. They're even more expensive.

>>64002269
>B&T SIR
Yeah and guess what the B&T SIR is...a 40mm.


dumb fuck.

37mm are copium.

>>64001836
So you like collecting overpriced and overbuilt toys too. There’s nothing wrong with it, but don’t try and tell me how practical your milsurp is

>>64002135
The majority of your guns and equipment are toys. Even if you had a 40mm launcher it’s still just a toy, except it’s registered with the government and you can shoot anti-personnel rounds out of it. Neither are practical. You’re just larping at the end of the day

>>64002285
>Yeah and guess what the B&T SIR is...a 40mm.
Oh man no way that's crazy.
I think you got me confused with someone else

>>64002294
>Neither are practical.
Being able to yell "I cast facial diarrhea" and zip CS gas or powder at a poor fuck at 200fps is always practical. After the summer of love I'd argue it's the most practical.

>>64002322
>I think you got me confused with someone else
my bad? you kinda interjected in the middle of an argument

>>64002363
>https://www.southernpoliceequipment.com/shop/default.asp?h=c&c=73&id=2105

I disagree, but you can also just get 37mm CS grenades.

>>64002387
Yeah I didn't mean to, I was just saying 40mm>37mm for actual functional use. There's an actual difference and there's a reason most police switched.

>>64002399
>40mm>37mm for actual functional use
Agreed

>>64001836
I actually got pretty good prices on all of the milsurp. No one bid on the m1896 besides me and when the seller told me I needed an FFL I told him the serial number indicated it was an antique so he could ship it direct.

>>64002387
Yeah, that's pretty standard on an anonymous board

t. First post in this thread

>>64002150
Worth getting the standalone stock for the ML37? It looks neat but I’ll have 2 homes for it with the AUG and MP5. I figure it might be nice to just have something for launcher so I don’t have to whip out a rifle on New Year’s Eve to shoot off some fireworks

Retard question, I've never really looking into launchers til recently. Saw that LMT has launcher tubes and receivers sold separately. Neither is considered a DD until I put them together right?

>>64002492
I quite like it, but fair notice I plan to have it lathed and rifled as a 40mm on a Form1.

If you just want a simple grip solution, do this. Airsoft LMT standalone frame. This thing is all milled aluminum and has taken several full power 40mm chalk rounds zero issue.
Cheaper than the IWA stock by a lot (I paid like $75 or something on a sale)

>>64002660
Yeah but they may not fit together because LMT QC is the south end of dogshit

>>64002680
Here's my Pace chassis with the hydraulic recoil reduction stock, looks kinda cool. Shame the guy that makes them is dying

What is the legality of adding an airsoft launcher? I have an fs2000 and I really want the FNGL-1 to go with it but FN doesn't sell it to civilians so it looks like my best hope is to get the airsoft version of it. (it'll obviously be to larp)

Theres an airsoft company that sells a 3D printed one they make that is made from fiber nylon that supposedly is impact resistant and suitable to temperatures up to 380F/194C

>>64002680
Where are you going to get your ML37 rifled? I’ll probably do the same to mine in the future but idk where to go

>>64002738
Are you seriously worried that somebody is going to kick down your door for adding an airsoft accessory to your gun?

Unironically just get a 40mm unless you for some reason can't own a 37mm in your state. You gain pretty much nothing but going with a 37mm. I own two M203s and probably will get be getting a third at some point.

>>64001314
Fun to shoot, fun to diy rounds for, looks cool. They're infinitely more fun per trigger pull than any of my rifles or pistols IMO.

>>64005376
What do you shoot with the 40mm? What’s the cheapest and most available thing you shoot?

>>64006473
3D printed chalk rounds I designed myself. They can be printed cheaply and if the pusher survives, reused multiple times. All of the components, including the cases, can be printed. Basic PLA+ cases will last multiple firings. I have some from last year that are still around with like 20-30 uses each.

>>64006491
You have files anywhere? Also do you have 37mm versions?

>>64006516
No, I do not at this time. I keep them amongst my friends at the moment since we're kind of r&d it between ourselves and there's still stuff we want to iron out. It's also too much liability. I've given the files out to one stranger before with very specific instructions for printing and they reported back with all kinds of weird issues (which would be easily preventable if they had simply read my instructions), so I don't want the headache that comes with distributing the files.

I don't do any 37mm variants as I don't have any 37mm launchers, never saw the point when I can just outright own a 40mm.
