What will this fire? Some sort shell that "explodes" on impact or just a big cloud of BBs (like a moscart)

[Edmiles]

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.

[Abelius]

At least the shell looks pretty... heavy. Imagining how it hits somebody in the head 100m away and knocks him out.

[Catman]

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]

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

[EdrrakNolat]

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]

Meh... It's just too easy and fun to build your own.

Although, 200 meters is pretty dang far...

[oldman1980]

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.

[Shinden]

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.

[SpecialistR]

An airsoft RAWS or Carl Gustaf would be yum.

[Nihil_75]

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

[Hedganian]

Where did you pull this 176fps value from?

And what evidence do you have that it is even vaguely correct?

[farrasdevell]

dunno about the mortar but the grenade looks fairly spenky. shall have to see how the price compairs to the AI grenade on release.

[lewis hiscock]

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

[BenjaminRombough]

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

[Semtex]

Have to say that got my attention to, looks a pretty good design.

[Angry]

Thats the grenade with the ridiculously long fuse delay isn't it?

[Shriven]

Meh... it'll be like ALL the other "Airsoft mortars" around... too dangerous to use, or bloody pointless.

[Kalashnikov_kid]

OMG have you seen the video of the grenade detonating? It sucks sooo bad bb just pop out of it. EPIC FAIL
