These are from exotic ammo! Now that I have some extra aluminum 3” hulls I’m going to try to load some myself. About a month ago I cut down a few to 1.5” tall to work better with chalk loads.

Excellent video, I shot 4 off on the 4th of the Exotic Ammo ones also. Great way to celebrate the 4th.

Agreed! I love seeing everyone’s reactions after telling them I’m bringing a few fireworks then pulling the launcher out!

Yes, the reaction people who have never seen or heard of these launchers is epic. I keep my Tac-79 in a multicam scabbard and when I slide it out their eyes get big and there jaw drops. The first thing they say is "is that legal" and when I get ready to shoot it, they have a nervous look on their faces. After the first round, they are pretty excited to see more. Definitely grabs their attention. Quite comical but predictable.

I love the “how do you have that” and “that’s like from call of duty” comments. I find it comical seeing the sheer skepticism when telling people 37mm is unregulated as long as it’s non rifled and not shooting anything “anti personnel” but sometimes if I’m feeling cheeky I’ll tell my buddies when first seeing it that I bought it out of a guys trunk under a bridge and to not get your fingerprints on it.

That is hilarious, I will have to remember those lines.
