Geez I fired a few rounds through the govt. thumpers their nice little weapons. Now boon that barrel is 14 inches with an adjustable stock? I wonder how they got around the 16 in. barrel rules?
What kind of ammo can you get for it? Be nice if they had sabot or buck shot?

The 40mm's I shot in the Army were only as lethal as the ammo they gave us to shoot out of them. HE or chalk? The tankers dearly hated us painting their tanks with the chalk rounds. That stuff was hard to wash off.

When I'm shooting mine I always check the blue windshield for cracks just for that reason. Once at a shoot a guy with a M79 fucked up & shot one @ his feet. Everyone down wind were pissed.

The HE rounds have the spin thing in them. The chalk rounds will break if you look at them funny.

You can make a nice mess if you spike one like a football too. |

The HE have a centrifugal clutch that arms them after 4 revolution or 20 yards. Anything short of 20 yards & you are in the shrapnel zone.
The PSQ-18 night sight flashes a red waning indicator if your try using it under 20 yards |
