    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

That's how we shot lines over to other ships. So we could then pull over fuel hoses and other things.

    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?

    I used to train on the 12 gauge launchers. It was a tear gas grenade cup that attached to the end of a pump shotgun. You'd seat the grenade, inserting the spoon tail into a slot on the side of the "barrel". Once secured, you'd pull the pin (having a pre-made straight pin on stand-by). 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.

    Definitely unique, kind of reminds me of the launchers we had when I was a Navy MP in the 80's; they were a tube that clamped onto the muzzle of an 870 and there was even a version that clamped onto the muzzle of the ancient S&W M&P .38s that we were issued as sidearms. 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.....

    The net gun was a 30 or 40 mm round that held a folder and weighted net. I know it was experimental and possibly produced as a less lethal weapon in the 1970's or 80's for police use. The idea was the net would expand and temporarily ensnare a suspect without causing extensive injury. Injury was usually from falling. Results were mixed as l recall and it was never widely used.

    The net kit, SZO-84 apparently was actually effective, though it's doubtful if ever was used aside of training or demonstrations for the higher ups and other brass. 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).
