Smidge146's Grenade, My Grenade Launcher

IMG_1560.JPG
This instructable is about a grenade launcher that uses Smidge's grenades as ammo. I also made a hand grenade.

The Barrel

This is the barrel. The pic shows the pieces on a grey rod. It is upside-down in the pic

The Ram

The ram is a grey connector on the end of a red rod (tan in the pic). Also shown is the barrel, still upside-down . Be sure to put the rubberband on the connector.

Ram Installation

This step shows how to install the ram. Which grey/yellow piece you put the band on depends on how strong the band you are using is.

Ammo Types

The different types of shrapnel, haven't figured out which ones are good for which purposes, mabey you could help with that.

The Hand Grenade

This grenade is too heavy to fire from the launcher so I made it a hand grenade. You can use different combonations of shrapnel, in the pic it has tan clips and blue clips.

Fireing

To load and fire first you put the round in the tip of the barrel. Then pull back the ram and let go. It should fire, be sure not to pull back the ram so far as to make it HIT out the round as this will result in an almost guarrentied misfire. Have fun and annoy your neighbors with this, unless your neighbor is me or you actually want your pieces back.
