It looks hideous. Seeing as there are so many 40mm grenades already out there, I don't know why you'd go for this thing. It has a length of wire on the front!!! Kill. With. Fire.

It fires like a normal 40mm but with the escort plus effect. The only advantage is that you can vary your loads ie 6mm/8mm or different combos.

Well thats how it looks.

I'll reserve judgement until I see a review, but here is Doc's prediction...

Lol I can see some guy dressed up like a Seal kicking down a door and holding the place up at gun point.
He loads a 203 shell and takes a few steps back.
Tells them to get on their knees and shoots.
SUPRISE!!!

That'd be great.

Or maby they can come in through the windows hehe.

I've got one of the Escort hand grenades as do 5 of my friends. Only ONE of them works reliably enough to actually use. The rest of us are doctoring and trying to get the $50 paper weight to work. blink.gif
