    I am from Poland and I had the opportunity to shoot with this launcher during training at a chemical training ground. A double-edged sword, because when the wind blows in the wrong direction, everyone cries if they don't have a gas mask.
    An interesting fact - the tear gas grenades used in this launcher could also be used manually by striking them like a match and throwing them, because the tear gas was ignited after a while. After firing from the launcher, the grenade does not emit gas during flight for several seconds.

    One thing was omitted here. The magazine was modified to accept only blanks and not live ammo. There were cases of usage of such gun with live ammunition instead of blanks due to mistakes during loading of magazines, so it was modified to accept only blanks.

    Hey mate. I am Australian and just came across your channel. I saw your speech at the hearing regarding the ATF. Brilliant!
    As you know we are disarmed in my country. And we are now one of the most dystopian and totalitarian countries in the OECD. Our Founding Fathers didn't have the foresight to include a first and second amendment.
    The reason was we were practically ungovernable. They didn't think Australia would ever fall to tyranny. We have gone from a country that parliament was forced to hold TWO referendums on conscription in 1916(defeated both times), when the US was suffering under Wilson's War Socialism. Because they knew they faced rebellion if they simply legislated it.
    Fast forward to today and we are disarmed and helpless. Violent crimes, home invasions, thefts, rapes...the list goes on are normal now. And the criminal gang running the show pass increasingly totalitarian laws with impunity.
    NEVER GIVE UP YOUR FIRST AND SECOND AMENDMENT. Especially the latter. Or you will be us. A nation of indentured servants with a right to self defence on paper only, run by criminals, ordering their badged mafia to commit horrific abuses of basic rights, with no recourse. Love from Down Under mate👊

    I have a something for your "net gun." It may not even require any extra parts. You might need to make another toob. Done simply, you would need a net with weights on the ends, expanding foam, and thin plastic (you might even be able to get away with using cheap sandwich bags). Put the net wad between two sando bags and slide that into the toob. (it will not be snug at first). Fill the bags with expanding foam and close them off. After expansion, you will have a perfect Sabot (pronounced sah-bo) with your net load inside. When you fire it off the two halves of the sabot will split off and the load itself will fly towards the direction of fire. This works in larger high powered air cannons and is also used in high powered bullets (SLAP rounds).
    And to be honest, as you're the guy who kind of invented the AK50, I would be more impressed knowing you did it yourself (rather than sourcing a hard to find Polish parts kit)... im sure im not the only one. Thank you for everything you're doing for this country, and our education and entertainment. Also, if you read and reply to this, thank you for your time.

    Brandon you might want to try a cardboard crush shock buffer on the bases of the white claws like in a shotgun shell wad. Or you might try thin laminated stacks of balsawood and cardboard. That should allow the pressure exerted on the projectile not to exceed the burst limits of the thin can walls. Plus, a high/ low pressure launch like the mk79 and M203 allow the high pressure gas's to disperse. To a softer launch. Versus the direct dumping of gas onto the projectile.

  • @gsant4785
    @gsant4785 7 месяцев назад +142

    You should either (or both) open up to bore of the can holder slightly or drill a few ports around the outside of the back of the can holder to bleed off some pressure. That way it lobs the can a little easier instead of blowing the can up. Plus it would have the added benefit if cutting back some recoil. Making it all around more fun to play with.

    • @georgereiss998
      @georgereiss998 7 месяцев назад +16

      I think they may have made it so the muzzle blast goes directly to the ass of the can. Needs something to diffuse the muzzle blast so it pressurized a space behind the can so the force is bearing on the entire surface area of the cans ass not just 7.62 mm of it.

    • @gsant4785
      @gsant4785 7 месяцев назад +7

      @georgereiss998 that's a solid point. Reading that made me wonder how the AR can launcher works. My 30 seconds of reading says it redirects the gas through a special gas tube to avoid direct and concrete gas flow.

However those were single use (with unrecommended but feasible ability to reload/refurbish), so if any still exist those are in very dusty stores somewhere in Poland, forgotten by literally everyone (otherwise they would be instantly on some market to buy).

    Is your can launcher built similar to a can cannon? If not, i think that's why you're blowing out the cans, instead of launching them. The can canon has a stem inside the tube that disperses the gas around the bottom surface of the can (think of like..a capped muzzle brake) then pushes the can out with that lowered pressure thanks to the volume it needs to fill in the bigger tube instead of just the bore. If it's just the bore into the back of the can....Byebye can bottom/lid. 😅 Maybe a "can launcher V2" vid in the future?

The pistol version was something of a PITA to shoot but the shotgun version worked fine every time. Keep bringing the AK "uniqueness"!

    put the top in first.The weak point for opening the claw is rupturing from the pressure rise. Flip it around and most likely the pressure will make the concave bottom into convex (better for flight) and then fly forward, but the thicker bottom should not rupture. The top now being at the back, will likely open, possibly leaving a liquid vapor trail behind it, ala tracer.....

Load a blank into an unloaded shotgun and, do what God intended. I will tell you, it LAUNCHES those grenades boy. WAY farther than you'd think... yeah. We launched one over the range berm and about 150 yards into "property that wasn't the range". It was a moment.
