Would someone with an M203 (or other launcher capable of taking the chalk round) be willing to let us fire these off? I'd keep the shell afterwards and have more fun than knocking out the primer.

i don't think any 37mm launchers can accept 40mm rounds... or else NFA paperwork up the wazoo"I'll admit I had an OiNK account and frequented it quite often… What made OiNK a great place was that it was like the world's greatest record store… iTunes kind of feels like Sam Goody to me. I don't feel cool when I go there. I'm tired of seeing John Mayer's face pop up. I feel like I'm being hustled when I visit there, and I don't think their product is that great. DRM, low bit rate, etc... OiNK it existed because it filled a void of what people want."

This. 40mm launchers are classified as a 'Destructive Device' which is a level of NFA item that you probably don't want to touch. Also, each non-inert/training round is similarly also classified as a DD, with the requisite tax and paperwork required for each individual round. 37mm launchers are technically 'flare guns'.
Also, putting a 40mm diameter round into a 37mm diameter tube doesn't work too well. ;)Comment

i have to say, i've been really really on the fence about 37mm launchers.
historically i'll be honest i put the squarely into the mall ninja category, but as a fun novelty item they really are cool. if i were to build something of a "hero gun" prop for people to just use in video shoots, etc, i could see going that route.

^ apparently there are chalk marker rounds for 37mm?
also, there's something i hadn't considered before... apparently a lot of options exist for 37mm rounds in less-lethal ammunition:

^ that's a whole mess of options there, wow!
http://lesslethal.com/law-enforcemen...tile/37mm.html
^ CS canister, wow. i bet one has to be LEO to purchase that, however

^ hornet's nest, goddamn. i have some of those style rounds in 12ga for my home defense shotgun, but i do appreciate the idea of having a defensive rifle that can also deploy compliance rounds with less than likely lethality.
so what do you folk think? 37mm.... useful or e-penis extender?"I'll admit I had an OiNK account and frequented it quite often… What made OiNK a great place was that it was like the world's greatest record store… iTunes kind of feels like Sam Goody to me.
