Hedganian Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 What will this fire? Some sort shell that "explodes" on impact or just a big cloud of BBs (like a moscart) Link to post Share on other sites
Edmiles Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Yeah I saw this on the homepage and was curious, 200m is impressive!! Almost every site would ban it if it fired anything shell-like as opposed to a nice shower of BB's. Link to post Share on other sites
Abelius Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 At least the shell looks pretty... heavy. Imagining how it hits somebody in the head 100m away and knocks him out. Link to post Share on other sites
Catman Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 I refuse to get excited until I see what sort of shell/object this will launch. There's been a load of discussions on making mortars for airsoft and no one has yet up up with an effective and safe delivery method. I do hope that's not the case here.

lin_pointer Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 alot of money for a sall result, i mean how many people is gonna call out when showered by few bbs 200 m away, they prabobly wouldnt even feel it Link to post Share on other sites
EdrrakNolat Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Maybe a jerk/parachute system? Shoots into the air w/ compressed air, as the canister tips over, a chute deploys to slow it, opening a hole on the bottom of the canister, and maybe another compressed air shot to shoot them out shotgun style?

choffman10 Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Meh... It's just too easy and fun to build your own. Although, 200 meters is pretty dang far... Link to post Share on other sites
oldman1980 Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Again I find myself having to agree the the group. I would like to see what type of cartridge / shell this mortor fires before making any judgments. Link to post Share on other sites
Shinden Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 I'll take a guess that it might fire a sabot round holding a payload of BBs. The motor fires the 75mm size sabot and as its velocity reduces, the casings falls apart and the payload drops on target. That or perhaps a special foam grenade or just a volley of BBs in the air. Another could be a coke bottle lol. BruisBilis, perhaps you could be interested in doing a 75mm Recoil Less Gun? I'd believe that would be an excellent product after your successful launch of the Mortar. Link to post Share on other sites
SpecialistR Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 An airsoft RAWS or Carl Gustaf would be yum. Link to post Share on other sites
Nihil_75 Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 an airsoft bb falling will not be felt by the target. you can shoot it upwards at 500 fps if u like, it won't fall at the same speed. I dont know whats a BB's terminal speed is, I think it might be 55 m/s ( 176 fps). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_velocity Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Where did you pull this 176fps value from? And what evidence do you have that it is even vaguely correct? Link to post Share on other sites
farrasdevell Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 dunno about the mortar but the grenade looks fairly spenky. shall have to see how the price compairs to the AI grenade on release. Link to post Share on other sites
lewis hiscock Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 if its just a BB shower then it will be pointless. if it fires a projectile that lets off BB's in second stage then it needs to be bloody clever as this is a bit of a legal minefield especially in the UK Link to post Share on other sites
BenjaminRombough Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 i have visions of someone shooting a gun up in the air and chasing a falling bb with a chrono lol Be interested to see the delivery method on this item as i can not see many sites allowing shells knocking people out 200m down range Link to post Share on other sites
Semtex Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 dunno about the mortar but the grenade looks fairly spenky. shall have to see how the price compairs to the AI grenade on release. Have to say that got my attention to, looks a pretty good design. Link to post Share on other sites
Angry Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Thats the grenade with the ridiculously long fuse delay isn't it? Link to post Share on other sites
Shriven Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Meh... it'll be like ALL the other "Airsoft mortars" around... too dangerous to use, or bloody pointless. Link to post Share on other sites
Kalashnikov_kid Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 OMG have you seen the video of the grenade detonating? It sucks sooo bad bb just pop out of it. EPIC FAIL K_K Link to post Share on other sites
[BS]_MARS Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 OMG have you seen the video of the grenade detonating? It sucks sooo bad bb just pop out of it. EPIC FAIL K_K No, can you post it? Link to post Share on other sites
wheaties Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 I'm assuming this is the grenade you are all talking about, if it is this is the best video i could find. Link to post Share on other sites
Kurtz Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 I guess Kalashnikov_kid is talking about this two: Saludos! Link to post Share on other sites
Jaager Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 those "Nades" are actually quite a good idea, as a trap rather than a grenade you throw. as the pointman can trip it, then the time delay means half the squad can get into the kill zone before it detonates. im not sure how a mortar would work, it would be cool if it could fire pyro like tennis ball grenades, but that sort of thing is illegal.

AM I the only one here who is thinking something like a nerf football with the tail fins and everything? I've been shot at about 50ft with one and it feels like someone threw it really hard and hit you with it. I would imagine at a distance it would hurt even less especially since it's angle of attack is rediculously steep. It's also not hard to get a 203 to shoot 300ft (roughly, and I mean roughly 90m) using Green Gas and a 45 degree launch angle. Bump that up to CO2 and who knows about the possibilities. Who knows maybe it will launch like a real one where you drop it in the tube and off it goes! Link to post Share on other sites
