    Good to hear. These are pretty cool as well.....

    You are either trained or untrained, and you
    will always fall to the level of your training.

    Now is this effective on paper targets?

    Maybe setting them on fire, but no.

    I bought some re-loadable aluminium 37mm hulls from the US. They take a 209 shotgun primer. I use 40 to 50 grains FF Pyrodex as a lifting charge.
    I have made all manner of payloads and launched them from my TAC-79.
    Requires a large hot glue gun and lots of glue sticks !
    I'm more comfortable using the Pyrodex over smokeless. Not too much can go wrong this way.

    Are these the one's from reloadableshells.com ?

    I'm hoping to nab a few and start with some simple smoke projectiles. I will also likely use BP or Pyrodex.

    What are you using for projectiles? Although hardly aerodynamic, I did manage to find cardboard tubing in the right diameter.

    the most common 37mm projectile used to be the film canister, but those are pretty much gone these days. You can find appropriately sized cardboard tubes online and they make great projectiles when sealed with hot glue.

    making 37mm rounds is much more like arts and crafts than anything else.

    I also have the Tac-79. I load only smokeless these days.

    I ordered a kit from "exotic-firearms.com" which contained 5 x Aluminium hulls plus a bunch of other supplies like flying fish fuze and payload cups etc.
    I'm always on the lookout for cylinders of the appropriate diameter.
    I'm not too worried about aerodynamics. These things are low-power, low-velocity, you can lob any shape of projectile between 100 and 200m safely.

    I have also reloaded old 26.5mm flares which works fine.

    were you able to get this stuff across the border okay?
    You’re not completely useless, you can always serve as a bad example.

    See, I have the opposite problem. I have a bunch of reloadable 40mm shells but no launcher for shenanigans. Someone needs to fill a market need here.
