40 mm grenades ?

[Padkiller]

Hello guys !

So, I just purchased a grenade launcher for my scar and I was about to buy nades from airsoft parts, but I faced a DILEMMA !!!!

I don't really know about grenades, but I know that lower capacity grenades (25-60 pellets) have more range, but less pellets. And the opposite, high capacity grenades (100 rounds and more) have crazy a$$ power, but limited range.

So, which is better, (I really prefer outdoor games), high capacity nades that I can fill with lower pellet count, or low capacity grenades that I fill with the max. capacity ?

Thanks guys !

More pellets = less range compared the the same shell with less pellets.

If you go up to CO2, that changes everything, the large amounts of pellets still get very good range.

Yeah, forgot to mention, I will use Green gas probably !

As Amos said: CO2 = more range.

I say CO2 or don't bother.

We exclusively use the Madbull xm108hp (cherries), xm204hp (kings), or xmpb4 (multi's).

All have essentially the same range with different loads of 108, 204 and 60 BB's respectively. The only difference is the multi's will have more of a shotgun spray and are easier to field reload with a tissue paper wad.

Edit: green gas sucks!!! Use propane...but that sucks the same since it is the same.

CO2 or bust. Propane/GG is only effective for close range. With CO2 I've gotten confirmed kills with an almost level trajectory out past 75-100 feet

Good to know, but now, should I need a thing like this to use CO2 ?

I know I sound n00b, but I've never seen how to use CO2 in grenades !

Thanks !

Yes. Get that CO2 charger and a 20oz (paintball) CO2 tank. Or any sized tank. You can still use 12 gram CO2 but they are more expensive in the long run and only fill about 2-3 nades.

I run a 20oz but have been contemplating getting a 9oz tank for longer milsim games. They even sell a 3.5 oz tank but I am unsure of how many nade fills it can do.

Charge your nades to 400-600 psi for safe usage. Anything higher and I would strongly suggest you observe a safe MED (minimum engagement distance) as even 600psi can hurt someone inside 30 feet.

Thanks Coachster, you're really the king of 40mm !!!
