I don't know man, won't that make the front end real heavy?

****ty trigger technique....

The only time I have ever seen or heard of MetalStorm has been on Youtube. Have they ever actually sold anything to any military?

Customer List

Obviously they're not gonna sell it to Chinese and Russians.

I'm no expert, but that rifle grenade launcher actually looks feasible.

I have to say I had/have my doubts about the whole MS thing, but that actually looks somewhat practical.

Every time we start shooting somewhere, people would get stock promotion "newsletters" touting MetalStorm. A junky penny stock that I used to take tons of calls on when I was a broker.

Still, it is a neat idea. More of a solution in desperate need of a problem.

Looks more feasable then OICW/XM-29 SABR!!

goat89 · 11-06-2009, 01:41 AM

Looks a little bulky...

Pointless.

The first grenade will be so far up the barrel that its accuracy will be rubbish compared to the third.

If you need a rapid firing GL, then just use a GMG!

I can put accurate 40mm rounds down with a UGL in fairly quick time. You're only talking about 4-5 seconds to reload and aim at most.

Imagine that thing on the front of a bullpup weapon like the SA80, or a short weapon like an M4 carbine. It'll be totally imbalanced.

Far from being an expert either, but I disagree. I´ve handled an AG36 before and that´s already quiet a different feeling from having a rifle without an underslung grenade launcher.

Don´t think this will work out well. At least not with current ammunition.

That is exactly the same what I thought about that "invention".

Yeah... like what about when I want to use my rifle as a rifle?

In the span of 6 to 10 inches how much difference does it make to propel a 40mm 100 yards?

Now notice that the grenade barrel is all the way to the rifle barrel end, a typical m203 extends 15 inches, normally to the end of the front sight.

Looks like they added a few inches to keep the same barrel length travel for the first grenade as a normal M203, so technically, it gets more accurate (by your reasoning)
