    Since there's been a dramatic and ugly upsurge in grenade-based overkill lately, I've been taking a look at nades and launchers. Madbulls been making a few waves lately it seems. Check these out.

    Perfect if you had a LAW or even just for the sake of something a bit different.

    Mad Bull XM995 foam rocket grenade
    Foam rockets, apparently with the fins attached they'll fly about 140 feet. With them off it's about 40.

    XM204HP.gif
    204rds High Power grenade
    204rounds in one blast? One for Sir Overkill I think.

    XM108HP.gif
    60rnd 8mm grenade
    That one I'd like to see going. With the right pressure that could be a heck of a nade to be toting for longer range engagments.

    M576RH.gif
    Rubber slug grenade
    Slug nades have been out for a while but they've almost always been foam so they travelled naff all distance. I'm considering one of these myself.

    And finally, this is very nifty.

    Rifle Grenade
    Muzzle mounted. Anyone considering a WW2 loadout could do worse than take a look-see at that.

    i might go for the foam ones...the ww2 rifle nade looks very smart

    I think its been said a few times that the rifle grenade causes the bb that sets it off to explode inside the barrel, leaving BB shrapnel everywhere.

    CAW anyone?

    Does the rocket project BB's on its flight path or does it project them when it makes impact with something? Is the Rifle mounted grenade energa based firing mechanism, were teh bb hits and acts as a firing pin

    when you use the foam, you dont use the bb's (from memory)...the foam nade is a tight fit in the barrell and you use the gas pressure only to expel it.

    i know a lot of people were buying the mini pocket rockets which had a whistle sound. they were nearly an exact fit for a law and or a 203 barrel. i dont think the mini pocket rockets are in production any more.


    i am not sure of the law but in the Uk i think it is illegal to have anything with a stabilising fin...anyone know if its the same here...??


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,169 ✭✭✭Alvin T. Grey


    I might pick up one of the plastic clone 203s. The weight is a bugger to hump around a swampy field. I'll hold out to see if they are any good first though.

    That and the weather is too cold at the moment for effective use of gas.

    I doubt it. Otherwise surely lots of kids toys are for the bin.

    And that is why the firearms act was amended, you think they forgot to make nerf guns legal? Hope not, those look so cool!

    sorry alvin, i didnt fully clarify...i meant if you shoot it out of something and its stabilised...

    i hope not...a foam one for anti tank stuff would be superb!


    yikes it seems to be a modified nade...65 dolla!!!!

    Mosquito Molds do a mini launcher that is basically an M203 but is not much bigger than the nade itself. I've got one on my shopping list for next month or so. They come with a 160rnd shell. Cracking little unit, weighs next to nothing as it's aluminium construction and is totally reliable from all reports.
    It's designed to be fittable to ant size RIS rail. I've actually seen one mounted on a SOCOM instead of the LAM. You could easily fit that onto an M249 or one either side of a P90 (I've seen pictures of a G36k with 3 of the, one on either side and one on the bottom, plus a c-mag. Scary)
