Does anyone know where I can buy a cheap 37mm
grenade launcher for less than 100-120$ (not the barrel mounted one for m-16's), or may be even places that sell kits to make them?
Oh, ya I want it to launch smoke and paintball grenades and that like.

I looked at that site for the 37mm launchers. Not too bad, it shows some decent savings on the pistol version of the launcher when you buy 4 boxes of 37mm ammo, however... they don't have a page for the ammo!!!

I looked at that page good but go to
www.firequest.com for ammo for it but go to
the other for the guns (all ammo at firequest) costs less.

Forget the ammo $70 for a box of ten !!! From their ad in an old shogun news.
I really like firequest but I perfer the break-open action.

The most economical thing would be the scaled up slam-bang (old archives) and maybe some used nylon 40mm shells.

Tapco, advertised in "Shotgun News". has carried several models that are functional and cheap. If you know any law enforcement personnel and are on good terms with them, "mooch" the spent 37 mm tear gas cartridges that are left on the firing range after qualification shots are made. I have gotten quite a few casings and even a few live out-of-date rounds. These fired casings can washed, deprimed, cut down and reloaded. They are much better than the cheap plastic casings.

hmmmm those shotgun shells look pretty dodgey
do they do any damage to your barrel?
i think launching a 6" chain out of a shotgun would... you certainly wouldnt want to use this shit on your old mans Silver Pidgeon Berreta !

Well forget paying for one I spend the money
on chemical from pyrotec so if anyone has plans for the action, I can make the rest.

You see i've got a 40mm and a 38mm pipes so I adapted them to my 12 gauge pistols barrel,
but I need plans for a new action for it (the main spring broke) so plans would help
(not anything that need welding, because my heli-arc is screwed). So plans would help.
And does anybody know where you can buy old dummy grenades?

I know where to buy dummy deactivated grenades. If you live in the UK go to this site www.milweb.net and go to the dealers section under militeria. There are various links to sites selling various kinds of deactivated ammunition. If you live in the US try searching for militeria (not sure about the spelling because its not in the spell checker). They cost around £15 here.
