- I frequently get asked about the 40mm launchers that I use on some of my guns, so I put together this video explaining how 40mm launchers work, what they do, and who they are good for. I also go into detail on three different launcher systems.

one thing we can all agree is that m4 with a grenade launcher looks way more badass than the orange nerf assault rifle with the missile
forgot to mention the M32 revolver grenade launcher..
This is a nice video, and I fully agree with everything that has been said. I owe myself a M203, EGLM and AG36. I confirm the very well designed AG36, easy to load. Mine is a ARES, and I don't have problem of a shell being stuck. Also I use Madbull shells.
I confirm the EGLM issue when closing sometimes, the lips don't align properly and you don't close it easily. My EGLM is a VFC, I guess yours too because these are the only ones that flips.
About the M203, one issue you can have is that the front sling mount could stuck between the button of the M203 used to open it, therfore blocking it. If your sling attach can be put elsewhere no problem, but if you use a M4A1 without rails like I do, that can be an issue. In that case, you should go for an attachment system of your sling at the back of the gun.
Finally, the most important are indeed the shells. I also recommend the ones for paintball that are CO2 ready like the Madbull PB4, or S-thunder Shoker grenades. Why ? Because they are the ones that shoot at the longest range you can, thanks to CO2. They are the only ones to be "effective" outside to clean a bunker without going to close, and of course, they are good for indoors. Also, they are fast to refill with BBs and you put tape on the tip.
I recommend light BBs, 0.12g are great. Finally, you can put water + BBs. There's a video around of a guy testing that.
the problem I have with firing nerf related projectiles is well, a lot of milsim ops only recognize a kill with a bb. Using nerf stuff is looked down upon by Milsim players as "backyard" play, not that there is anything wrong with that.
I'm a grenadier for my teams 1st squad, 1st Fireteam, we are milsim based and frequent Blacksheep Milsim event. My loadout is a H&K by Umarex (VFC) G36k, with an AG36 40mm Grenade launcher, The applications for that launcher go a bit farther than you let it. It can be a force multiplier in it's own right. Not to mention, if your squad is buried behind cover and can't move, launching 200 or so bb's toward the enemy usually lands a few kills, and adds to decrease enemy morale, sometimes making them fall back.
Rhyx I've seen the opposite. Many hardcore milsim ops I've seen LOVE foam rounds for radius kills or to disable vehicles. I've personally started running PMOG chalk filled rounds in many of my launchers religiously.
Booligan Airsoft I understand that some milsim games allow that and have rules for that, I'm just saying I'm not a fan of that as it doesn't really have that realistic effect. Imagining a nerf explosion opens players up to another form of dishonesty on another level unless there is a game controller at every corner of the battlefield. There are airsoft devices that simiulate the realism a lot better, take for instance the line of grenades (40mm launchable and hand thrown alike) made my Tanginn simulate explosions with bb's a lot better than using nerf "bombs". As a grenadier I use them a lot at milsim games and they have very high remarks among milsim players in my area. I only have participated in Ops ran by Blacksheep Milsim for this reason. Blacksheep Milsim is very hardcore in it's own right, It is orgranized across many states across the nation, a majority of the games using Joint training grounds for the military, the event is organized by a retired infantry major for the US Army and he does one hell of a job. I highly recommend attending one if you haven't, he pushes airsoft milsim to a level that is just pure awesome.
True, however, the Taginn rounds are illegal in the US. Illegal to sell, transport, and store. They're working on making them legal, but for now, they're not, so we have to make do with what's currently available and legal. Which is why I really like the PMOG rounds. Safe, legal, and available in chalk or exploding chalk configurations.
Booligan Airsoft They are legal, I just purchased a resupply from airsplat.com, I live in Wyoming. I use the Archangel rounds at Operation Blacksheep. If they were illegal, the President of Blacksheep would not have allowed their use. I've been using them for a few months now I think, maybe they were at one point, but I haven't heard of them being illegal in the US until just now when you posted that they were. Maybe they are only illegal in certain states? Not sure. However, could you maybe provide a link stated their legality in the US so I can maybe bring this up with my fellow Milsimmers so we don't get in trouble for using them? Also, not sure if your familiar with Blacksheep, but I highly recommend checking them out at Blacksheepmilsim.com, and an edit to this, I see what your saying about the legality of them in the US, but it's more so a customs thing right now, Airsplat however does have the license to sell them.

Nice video I was thinking of getting myself a grenade launcher and this video really helped!
I just got an m203, and have an mp5 on the way. By the power of Half Life, it will be done!
Personally, I would rather have a stand alone launcher or GLM launcher. I really like the Ultra Force PGL (Pistol Grenade Launcher) and the S-Thunder Long Barrel Grenade Launcher Pistol for stand alones. For GLMs, I would like to have an ICS 190 GLM. I really like special weapons, especially using a unique weapon as a primary weapon. The ability to either shoot tons of rubber or foam balls, tons of BBs, or one big fat slug and tons of different shells is just one major cool factor for me. I really like 40mm launchers, even though I have never owned, touched, or even fired one. I just love them and I really hate under barrel launchers. They are just very unrealistic and impractical. Besides, who needs to spend $100 on an under barrel, single shot launcher when you could get a six shot revolving GLM for just $25 more? Idk, but what I DO know that GLs are weapons that were designed specifically for me. That, and sniper rifles.
Phenomenal video man! AWESOME!
Aren't there smoke rounds you can purchase?
Thanks for the info - I found what I was looking for... too few videos on 40mm under-barrel launchers around here.
no love for the GP25/GP30?
damn now that would be awesome on an airsoft ak47 with wooden stock and handguard! authentic
The scar with the ugl looks so nice
2:14 basically the mother of all shotguns
Say hello to my little friend
Eotech on the g36. Good taste.
i just want one so i can scare my friends
Vincent Nitz me too
I just want wan to make a scarface reference
So sweet - stellar job as always.
....on your 203, when you get to the end, there is a barrel stop, if you remove this, the barrel will slide completely off and you are able to accommodate larger rounds...fyi
Great Video!!!
Used plastic hair curler to funnel plastic wrap wit baby powder and pop it’s makes a good soft slug wit pop plus u kno u hit them
Hello Friend. wanted to know what brand and model is listed at the beginning of the video .. the brown.
I never saw one of these you can throw grenades
Are there any launchers that also shoot the shell?
So at my field we have trucks that drive around with turrets on the roof and the only way to destroy a truck is with a 40mm grenade launcher. Would I be better off getting the grenade launcher for my G36 or getting one of those 40mm pistols?
Mr. Catcrab Music I guess for the g36 since you can fire after shooting the grenade launcher.
Mr. Catcrab Music the only issue with mounting it on your gun is how heavy it will get. its up to you but i recomend a 40mm pistol, they do make some 40mm pistols that go on rail systems
What is the shell diameter of AK type grenade launchers? (Like the GP-25) I want to get one just because it looks cool, it kinda acts like an underslung shotgun and you can one hand it like a pistol.
Wait, you have a video on how to make your own stan alone GL? Sweet! I've had this idea in my head that I could use some help with, but once I can realistically figure it out, I'm gonna do it! (BT dubs, it is a stand alone, single shot 40mm launcher that is modeled after the Team Fortress 2 Pyro flare gun called the Scorch Shot!)
what's the song at 7:59 (I know it is quiet)
Animus vox by 'the glitch mob'
Thanks for the video. I’m thinking about purchasing an M203. I have ICS Transform4 rifles with Keymod. Which launchet would you recommend?.
Thanks for the video
Do you think you can launch enola gayes with the m203?
I'd love to know the answer to that question. I was very disappointed to discover that they weren't pyro projectiles! Boo! Anybody know if that's a possibility? That'd be a game changer +Booligan Airsoft +Paddzr
Ha gay
Does the EGLM only fit the SCAR?
It has a modular rear assembly for SCAR-L, SCAR-H, or other firearm or standalone launcher use.
I,M new to airsoft so does the 40MM leave the gun and explode on contact?
Paul Chadbourne Most of the time, no. The 40 mm shell is basically a giant shotgun shell. You can use them to shoot foam rounds though for areas kills, and there are some companies that make exploding foam projectiles with a small pyrotechnic charge and loaded with bbs or chalk dust.
question, does the launcher @0:10 fit on a f2000? I've been looking for one on the f2000 platform
A s c e n d e d H u m a n I’ve seen m203s on f200s before but it’s a not a great platform for a gl tbh.
i want to know what launcher u would recommend for a mauser m15
Will the EGLM work on only Scars? Or can it be used on a regular m4 setup?
Marty Guy you can run it on an M4, it’s just tricky lining up the magwell and trigger.
The colt license one is sick. I wanna put it on my M4A1. I'll probably get made fun of. Lol.. just for esthetics
You either have cool or practical. Neither can stand while the other survives lol. This is coming from a guy who uses a Deagle replica for his sidearm.
Am I correct in assuming that most 40mm launchers function pretty much identically to the real thing, absent production value?
The "firing pin" isn't spring fired like on real 40mm launchers, they're generally just directly connected to the trigger. Otherwise, the controls and everything are generally the same.
Yeah pretty much. I fired the 203 in basic and it's pretty much the same thing: Push slide forward, insert round, pull slide back and fire. Push slide forward to eject shell and your good to repeat. Pretty straightforward really
Booligan, have you had any experience with the AK-style launchers? I know they can't fit a lot of the shells on the market, but that's about it.
I have a GL-09 that is brand new. I'm having trouble getting any distance out of a ball or rocket with a S-Thunder Grenade (.68cal). Any tips?
For some reason, I haven't seen a ton of range out of my sthunder shells either. I know their valves are high flow, but I don't think their gas capacity is great.
Interesting. Do you think I should be able to get better results with different shells in the gl09? I love the platform, but need results to warrant it.
I am considering buying a pvc made launcher from eBay otherwise.
Try out some different shells and see if you get better results.
Can the grenade launcher at 7:57 be attatched to a m4 railing?
Ruben Zuniga Yes it can. It is also called the M320 grenade launcher
Ah yes you are the master of noobtubes
How too order they airsoftgun
Could you send me a link to your "how to make a cheap 40mm launcher" vid you mentioned in this one? I can't seem to find it on your channel.
rewatching 10 years later because i can finally afford some rounds 💃
Tag rounds if they are allowed where you play these would be extremely useful that's about the only thing they good for lol
Is the one on the m4 also compatible with the g39?
It can mount on anything with a rail. Might not look pretty though.
@@booliganshootingsports the g39 is a thing of beauty. The grenade launcher exclusive to it is not. After I convert it to a g39k I will have enough room for it. I luv airsoft
does the m203 fits on a scar-l (d-boys)?
Wen I was gonna get my first airsoft I saw those in the store but my dad never buyed me one cause they were used and to avoid the risk of wasting money. But to be honest I’m very interested in this airsoft
what's the name of the last gun?
Shout out to the glitch mob in the background XD
Can you put an m203 on a scar?
Conservative right wing gun Owner you can put an M203 on pretty much anything with rails.
Oops I put an actual m203 on mine
I hit my friend (he lost a bet) with my G&P M203 at almost 60ft. And it left a huge mark on his back, now tell my these are inaccurate.
60 feet isn't exactly much when it comes to accuracy. I mean, you can throw a handful of BBs and hit someone from 60' away.
That being said, when using these to shoot foam rounds, they can be VERY accurate with practice. 200-300' vehicle accurate fire is totally doable.
You mentioned the foam projectiles but you didn't explain how to use it with the launcher
Eagle Heart you put them in the barrel shoot them out using a shell. Not much else to say.
@@booliganshootingsports I get it now. I was expecting a way to shoot the nerf missiles or something, but since they don't make very big shells I guess you'd have to use something as small as a dart. Thank you for replying, not every TH-camr does that
Eagle Heart no, you shoot 40mm foam projectiles. They fit inside the barrel, the gas in the shell propels it.
What gram of bb
Will the scar launcher work on an hk 416
Not too well. The stuff just doesn't line up properly on most M4 based rifles.
I think the Tokyo marui version (HK based) would work on there bro
can't help but notice there's no representation of eastern weapons/launchers
Unfortunately, no company has sent me any ComBloc launchers.
Booligan Airsoft you should review tactical game innovations 40mm grenades
What's a good m4 around 150 price?
G&G combat machine, JG m4 enhanced
Second in the G&G Combat Machines
I have an M4 Cqb, is it possible to attach a grenade launcher to it
Easily, if you have rails, just get a rail mounted one.
sweet, thanks for letting me know
Jon Z Glen short barrel and rail or just barrel?
+Booligan Airsoft Are you able to attach grenade launchers on Picatinny rails?
PantherBlast8086 Of course. M203, XM203, and several other launchers have universal rail mounted versions.
unless you have the money to burn on launchers that actually fire impact pyrotechnic projectiles, they are completely useless. Just save yourself the hassle of people not honoring foam balls landing near them or wasting 120 bbs with a 15 yard range each shot
Chad Grimgravy you sound broke😂
TBH the EGLM looks way too huge and ugly.
I hate to buy things online they always sold out, I wanted this gun so bad aka air soft gun. I love the movie Scarface & not only that movie but gangster movies/mafia movies like Goodfellas , casino , a Bronx tale , & the god father. I’m never gonna get that air soft gun people always say never say never bull crap it’s facts I never gonna have a change to have it.
Smokey you can easily put a “Scarface” style setup together using in stock items.
Booligan Airsoft and Shooting Sports When I say I’m going to buy a Pre-built PC people say build one. You reminding me of them I ain’t gonna do that extra shit, Tbh I didn’t want to here this answer
Then don’t complain about not having something that you want. If you want it, literally buy the 3 things you need and put it together instead of complaining that it’s not in stock as a pre-built item.

Total waste unless using TAG rounds from Airsoft Pyrotechnics
There are actually a lot of useful rounds that you can fire out of 40mm launchers. Milsim Labs makes several that work fantastically, and I'm currently testing out the PMOG shells, which appear to be a very affordable alternative to the ungodly expensive TAG rounds.
I guess it all depends on how much you are willing to pay for stability, consistency and the ability for the target to actually identify that a AOE projectile has been fired. Personally if im going to take a bulky 40mm with me i want to use the most efficient ordinance.
We've never had issues with people ID'ing that they've been AOE'd out with a 10' kill radius. Same as building and vehicle kills. Don't get me wrong, I like the idea of the TAG shells, but they are impressively expensive for what they are. The Milsim Labs rounds are incredibly stable and consistent, with the right round and the right launcher, I'm seeing 200+' vehicle accurate fire. Plus, the round costs all of $2 or so, so I don't feel bad if I never get it back.
The Milsim rounds break down to $5.66 per round and the TAGs are $5.40 a round. Keeping in mind that the Milsim rounds are reusable but the TAG rounds mark their target and fire 95 yards rather than 31 yards. This is a significant difference.
or killing tanks, bunkers and people hiding in thick bushes.
I sold my grenade launcher, it's not a useful thing, dnt even bother using it at range, at close range, you can well just shoot them because you still need to hit them regardless with the BBs in most of the grenade cases, if you use it in CQB, the extra weight is simply not worth it.
Personally, I pretty much never run a grenade launcher to shoot BBs. I use them almost exclusively to shoot foam projectiles.
non of any of the airsoft sites around me are big enough to actually get any use out of em, most of the people wouldn't even know what they do and that they're out... Ah the joys of playing airsoft in ireland..
