yes or you could just previously do 2 squeezes. but dude it looks awesome definently making it. Does anyone know how he kept the barrel in place? and made it swiveling. I don't feel like watching the whole video again.

ok everyone I'm going to try to make the grenade laucher over the weekend but I'm going to use a metal barrel of some kind. I'll tell you how it turns out, although I don't have any grenades :(

This is what I am aiming for as my final result. I just don't have $200 bucks laying around. So how would I be able to use the shells when I make someithing like this. I could use 2 m203 grenade shells but that would look really awkward because of the barrel size.

I've considered the idea of a 40MM double barrel. Use PVC pipe for the barrels, bind them together. If you can find a double barrel wood stock set with no barrels or firing mechanism for cheap, that would probably be the easiest way to do it, and rig up a trigger similar to one of an airsoft M203. It would be a lot of work, but if you really wanted to do it, nothing says you can't try.

I'm really confused by what you are asking. The first link in your post points towards a conventional shotgun shell that acts like a mini "mid-cap" mag. You load the BBs down through the top until it's full. Then when you pump the shotgun, it feeds 3 BBs into the chamber(s). FIRE! The next pump reloads 3 more BBs until the shell is empty. We are saying "mini mid cap" because you don't wind these shells, like a high-cap magazine.
You CAN NOT use these shells with the shotgun in your second link.
Then the second link you posted shows a gas shotgun that basically fires mini grenade shells. You load the shells with BBs, then Green/Red gas. FIRE! Remove shell, reload with BBs and Gas. Repeat. Seems like a waste of time to only put 6 rounds down range per reload. Not to mention, you'd be over our FPS limit.
Did you read the "Review" at the bottom of the page in your second link. It explains how they work:
Quote:
"This shotgun basically acts like a mini revolver launcher holding two 6 round grenade shells.
On each trigger pull, the shotgun will activate a gas powered shell and launch all the bbs within."
yes sorry I thought that both of the shells did the same thing. Ok so whaqt I am aiming to do is find out how the trigger mechanism works on the mad max. is it the same way as any other grenade launcher?

From the look of the gas shells at the bottom of the gun link, it appears as though you need to unscrew the shell and load the gas in the lower portion of the shell. The end of the shell has what appears to be a "primer" that fires the BBs by releasing the gas into the top portion of the shell. This is similar to M203 Grenades, but you don't have to disassemble those to reload them with gas and BBs.
This gas shotgun looks like more effort than it's worth, to fire 6 BBs.
Awesome find! I'm picking up all the parts tomorrow. Mine will be the same basic idea, with some improvements (in my mind). I'll probably have it done for the LVP game this weekend.
Ya my friend and I are tryingto make one now. We are going to home depot tomorrow to get the final parts. We don't have any shells but we wil eventually. hopefully i wil have a pic by tomorrow afternoon.
I wil. the only trick part is the triggering pin. it has to be perfectly straight and very sturdy. LOTS of hot glue. We are also trying to put a stock on it. We are going to put a slit on the side and turn the metal rod side ways to make some what of a charging handel type for looks and practicallity. Should turn out nice
its coming along nicely. I got the 1 1/2 inch pvc pipe like he said, but for some reason it seems to small. Im hoping its not. Another thing, for practicality and looks, do not use the latch he uses. i suggest a bolt latch, much easier, much cooler. Also, usa ALOT of hot glue You MUST use hot glue. I tried gorilla glue and that is not doing anything.

I'm going to use Epoxy, it is much much stronger than hot glue. I have all the parts cut, I just need to sand the part where the shell goes.

Ugh brah... fUll M3tAL is the only way i roll. Full metal G36C, Chest Rig, and Glocks. So, duh, the grenade launcher is full metal. Even the PVC barrel is metalz.

I like it. Only one question.... why saw off the entire front of the caulk gun? I think it is much easier the way he did in the vid with a hinge in the front. How are you going to line it up straight enough to perfectly hit the button? I just finished up mine and should post some pics 2moro. I also changed the latch on top. It its much better to use a bolt latch instead of a hook and eye, looks cooler and is 10x easier. I have to get a grenade to sand but ive got the actualy gun all painted and ready.
Yea, I just figured that theres no point in making it without being able to use it. I'll probably pick up a cheap grenade from old man sometime or something.

I've decided on a breaking front design. I've got a good system drawn out for the barrel to return to flush with the rear portion of the barrel. We'll see though.

It probably looks fragile because the entire thing is held together with electrical tape and hot glue. Epoxy is much much stronger. I probably won't even use this, I have so much more fun building it, than spending money on the exorbitant prices of grenades.

yea. Sarin you right. It's just fun to have something to build. If you already have grenades great! you can use this if you want. otherwise just make it and have fun. How great though would it be if you could make grenades to launch :).

Watched this video and decided to make an RIS version. Ended up having to scrap his idea completley and with a simple trip to the hardware store I started my project. It's A LOT harder then his but if you can find the right parts its an answer to anyone wanting an M203 without spending 200 bucks. Also I should note that it doesnt run off of a trigger or push button because I couldnt find the right springs or plates, so it actually slam fires...imagine a shotgun going off after the pump not the trigger pull. I'll post pictures tommorow

I'll do my best it took a long time and scrap parts, the ris was actually from a foregrip I broke and the slide mechanism is from a broken drawer so yea, have to actually find those pieces not comming off broken crap in my house haha

O I see what you did. You took the PVC as a barrel, attached it to what looks like a hinge, than put a rail adapter to mount it on your gun. ANd did you drill a hole through both sides of the tubing where you can put a metal bar across the insides and then a firing pin sticking out of it?

No hinges all slides. Barrel is attached to sliding rail and the rail mount is too. Barrel slides forward to accept grenade, firing pin will be a plate behind the barrel attached to the slide

actually, i just recently made my own grenade launcher, from a completely original design. i will try to upload pics later. it looks like a thumper, except it unlocks and folds in half to expose the back of the tube to load the shell. built it from scratch, with real wood.

That looks sweet. You should put a tutorial up on how to make t if you wouldn't mind sharing the idea. Obviously though the woods pretty self explanatory.

Hey guys sorry I haven't updated. I'm basically done, I had a slight problem with the epoxy not holding turns out I wasn't using enough. Also hot glue doesnt really work on metal it sucks. On a brighter note I am attacing my firsing pin tonight and it will be done. I test it before and it works flawlessly. I'll post pictures and the best instructional I can upon request.
I would also like to announce my new project of a double barrel launcher. I am finalizing the designs now and working out the trigger functions. I will use caulk guns but unfortunatly there is no way I can think of to combine the 2 triggers. I'll post pictures of my m203 tonight and the double barrel when I'm done.
My future plans after the double barrel is none other then....REVOLVER! That is A LOT harder and will take alot more time and resources and will also be a lot bigger but more efficient. Good ideas all around though guys lets keep working on these launcher ideas.
