Defense Technology 37mm Gas Gun firing a 26.5mm Smoke Round Update

[Flyboy73]

I wanted to improve the quality of my video's and did some work on the Gas gun video. I am planning on starting a series of videos from my collection (Yugo M76, DR-200, S&W 52, and Greener Mark III shotgun in works).

I uploaded a new Gas Gun video and deleted the old one.

Original Info:

I picked up a surplus Defense Technology 37mm Gas Gun from the Sportsman guide awhile go. Thought I would do a review of it and firing a blue smoke round. I don't have any 37mm round yet, but have some 26.5mm Czech round. I also ordered a 37mm to 26.5mm adapter at the same time and it finally came in last week. Really impressed with the gas gun. Built like a tank and trigger pull is quite good.

Cool! Do you (or anyone else) happen to know how to make your own smoke rounds? I know you can mix saltpeter, sugar and dye to form a very stable substance that gives off a lot of smoke when it burns. I guess you'd need some sort of fuse as well, though.

I have seen videos on making your own smoke rounds. The guy videos below go go through on making your own. There are company's that also sell the components. Seems like some work involved. Seen a bunch of 37mm smoke rounds for sale. Hazmat shipping is a pain though.

If one wanted to throw simple slugs from a large bore gun like this without the annoying paperwork, there are airsoft 40mm launchers which use reusable shells powered by a large charge of compressed gas. You could get a more authentic looking M203 replica, or a standalone launcher like this.

The shells available for these can fire just about anything from a cloud of a few hundred plastic (or metallic) 6mm BB's to rubber and foam slugs and rockets. You can also use them with a charged shell with no projectiles in it, and load whatever you like in the barrel, like a blunderbus.

Lots of fun.
