Bro your better off adding Co2 shell or work around those * everything looks to work correct but you just need something more solid to hit the primer better * this would be worth selling in airsoft community
@@Nasir-uh1ocAmerica is literally the worst place you could be in if it's a nuclear apocalypse. We'd be nuked into oblivion. No where would be safe except maybe some hills in Montana.
If it were a real 40mm grenade, absolutely! You could feasibly do this with 20mm grenades though, and for keks a double barrel 20 gauge would even be small enough to open carry
@@belthesheep3550 I've fired 40mm from a M16 mounted M203, it does kick some but I've felt worse from bolt actions and shotguns. I bet you could safely wristfire one assuming the barrel extended past the hand (he cut his pretty close in the vid) but just cuz you can do a thing doesn't mean you should, aside from an obvious cool factor this has no real world application.
@@chill_will9816 See with underbarrel mounted grenade launchers (or even the standalone m203) you can control the recoil much more easily since it is braced against your shoulder and you have your other arm to hold onto the front of the gun with, whereas when wrist mounted you have only the one arm, no way to brace against anything and even if you tried using your other hand there's nothing to really hold onto. Imagine the kick from that m203 but you're holding the m16 like a pistol, it'd be a lot more uncomfortable.
@@belthesheep3550 Yeah, like I said it didn't kick hard but it did want to pull right (I'm right handed). It's moving a lot of mass but with a delayed high-low pressure system within the shell casing itself. It would be a right handful to shoot and terribly inaccurate at a range that would actually allow rounds to arm the self. A big ass 40mm shotgun round would probably wreck though
I don't know how well it would work as an actual military design. At least without powered armor and improvements to ballistic technology. Even then I don't think a 40mm grenade would be practical. I could see wrist-mounted 20mm grenade launchers possibly working, however.
@@toradrow777wrist mounted GL is a wrist mounted GL. I sometimes use the term "If it's stupid and it works, it works." But yeah, 20mm should be fine, but it should be the minimum caliber.
At this rate I expect the next videos to be a 3D printed GMG and Machine Gun with the finale of you 3D Printing a ICBM. Great video as always, loved your content ever since for your intricacy of getting around the engineering (And legal) limits of what you're able to do with a printer and spicy water.
What printer or post processing do you use? While holding a lighter to the surface of prints can certainly smooth it out a little, the finish on your parts is insane, it looks injection molded sometimes
I'm in awe at how clean and beautifuly precise all those printed components are. (I haven't paid attention to 3D printing in a while, so I don't know if this is "normal" now, but it did NOT look like this last time I checked. 🤷♂️)
The idea for this popped into my head a second ago and now i'm being recommended this work of art. Algorithms are scary, but man am i glad i got to see this!
im surprised that this concept could actually work as real weapons, in terms of phisycs and being innovative and practical, i can call this high tech grade weapons concepts, at a genius
@@vast9467 Now all he has to do to improve upon it is find a better way to trigger it. A button on the back of it would require you to drop your gun to fire the grenade launcher, which in the heat of battle would not be very efficient. Maybe something like a glove that when given a specific hand gesture triggers it to go off?
I love your builds so much, wish to see more from ya in the future. (WE GOTTA GIVE THIS GUY THE BEST SLO-MO CAMERA FOR WHEN HE SHOOTS HIS SELF DEFENSE KNICK KNACKS)
I'm in love with this, I built something similar but much dumber when I was younger. Might just get back into making airsoft gear for the fun of it. Consider swapping your use of HHO with a small amount of nitrocellulose, its should work with your igniter, offers about twice the velocity and has a long shelf life. If you want to go to purely a percussion setup, small pistol primers should give just a bit more push than your current setup.
I remember playing this game [PROTOTYPE] where the second boss, Blackwatch Captain Cross, uses a forearm mounted custom grenade launcher, the design and how it worked, was beautiful... Tysm for bringing it to reality
Hey, I have a question for you: do you think the energy available, if harnessed correctly, would be enough to cycle a self-feeding action? I’m curious if, for example, you choked the barrel down so only an airsoft bb is fired through, but the gas pressure in that restriction would be enough to cycle the shell that fired it. Perhaps not a 40mm style shell, but something more sanely sized like a rifle or pistol-size shell (obviously.) But I can’t help but notice there’s a good deal of energy there and maybe something cool can be done with it if it’s used right. Printing and making a bunch of shells with the electric ignition may be tedious - maybe use cap gun caps?
So I have a question, did you put HHO gas in the casing and that is what explodes for the launch with the spark or is it the HHO gas in the payload that causes the launch.
1:40 question: why does the switch have the O flipped down when it’s on, and the I down when it’s off? Surely it would’ve been better to have it the other way around no?
This is reminding me of the WAR suits from xcom 2. You could equip exoskeletons that have a wrist mounted heavy weapon launcher. Stuff like flamethrowers, rockets, flettette launchers, even a smart remote guided bomb that can go around corners and through doors. It’s OP as all hell
