I think the thing looks awesome, but how hard is it to get smoke/gas/projectiles for it?? Legality? Price?

OK, did the research. I now want one too. Would this stick past a standard 16" upper or do you need a mid 18-20" upper?

Why are you discussing a flare launcher in the destructive device forum?

Well, it could be registered. I'm working on my second registered 37mm. Where else are you going to talk about it on arfcom? |

Well mine arrived today.
It fits like a glove on my troy rail & feels solid but it didn't come with the slots milled into the end of the barrel like the one pictured. I kind of like it better without those slots anyway. Also there isn't a extractor claw to pull the empty shell out of the barrel when you open it. It just has a cut out under the barrel I guess for pulling empties out with your finger. Its far superior to the bushmaster style launchers out there. I'm probably going to get a second one. |

Very nice, post some pics of your setup. Im also thinking about getting one, and would like to hear some reviews before I buy.

How is it superior? Does it seem stouter? How about the barrel latch? How well does it lock up? The main problem I have is when I load some pretty hot rounds (especially wood batons) that need and create a lot of compression, the barrel latch soon wears out on my RPB launcher. |

Overall the look & feel of it seems to me superior over the bushmaster launcher I had.
The barrel locks up tight as a drum & I like the push button barrel latch allot more then the one on the bushmaster launcher. When I had that bushmaster mounted on the barrel of my ar it was wobbly as all heck, the spikes launcher has zero movement mounted on my troy rail. My only complaint would be that the set screws they sent with it need to be about 1/4 inch longer. |

That is definitely going on my list of things to buy in the next few months...
Does it ship direct to your door being an "unregulated" flare gun?

How hard is it to get 37mm ammo and what is available w/o going DD?
|
|
|
|
Posted: 1/7/2008 5:12:46 AM EDT
[#18]
Very easy to get flares, smoke and starbursts but that's about all you can legally shoot without going DD. The commercial flares, smoke and starbursts are too stinkin expensive and they are very easy to make yourself. Register it as DD and the only limits are you imagination. |

Would this rail system work with a conventional looking M203 hand guard?
It also looks like it hangs down a bit far below the barrel. Any ideas about the appearance - it sounds like a well made part. TIA |

this system is rail mount only. |

Please forgive my ignorance, I am in the process of learning.
It looks like the rail is part of the hand guard - how does the Cobray unit mount? Thanks again |

it replaces the bottom handguard, it goes into the delta ring, and on the front it has a peice that goes around the barrel mounting it to an m4 type profile barrel.
there are other clasps available for different profile barrels. google it for pictures and you can see some close ups. |

OK... BRD is going too far and the wife just nodded like it was OK to get one. Kind of like when she shows me her toes that she just paid $50 to have painted and I say "that's great, ooh so pretty".
I found this:
on this web site: http://lanworldinc.com/Accessories.html Can I shoot 12 gauge buck shot or bird shot out of a 37mm flare launcher with this adapter? legally? physically? I just Emailed Spikes.... I have a bigger grin on my face than the first time I shot a live AT-4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Reply from Spikes
When I think about it, shooting a 12 gauge round from it would make it an AOW? or am I wrong? |

As she said, it would have to be registered as a Destructive Device. The 12ga adapter shown will only accept 12ga flares and not regular shotgun shells. Based on her saying "we make a more robust adapter for that" I think she is implying 12ga would work out of this thing! IT would be the first 37mm launcher that is 12ga safe if so. I think I will write them and see. |

   So here it is- This thing seems real beefy, the only weakness would seem to be the set screws that keep tension on the rail, but time will tell. The KAC rails dont seem to be "tall" enough to let the launcher set all the way back against the magwell like the MI handguards, so it sets against the delta ring. It seems to be a very high quality unit so far. I will probably keep it mounted to the carbine, and krylon it. What do you guys think? |

I like mine, ordered it online and picked it up at a show in Miami.
I took a file to the rail and now it sits closer to the magwell. Once I GMST I'll post a pic. Mike |

looks nice, i like the seemless profile as aposed to the cobray look, thats the main reason i went with a 203, because even DD on a 37mm the cobray just stuck out with an odd gap between the rifle and launcher.

I sent Spikes an email and was told they would get back to me on the ability of the launcher to shoot 12guage without tearing it up. I will post their response when it comes.

I started a Spike's 37mm launcher thread in the Spike's industry forum. I didn't know this one existed. If you would like to post pics / details / range reports of your launchers, please post them here:

^^^ Me too. I just stopped by my dealer and we got to talking about 37mm stuff. He's done some crazy things. Then he pulled out a HAVOC! Oh snap! I was looking to trade a glock 27 that wasn't being used anymore so I picked up a P22 for my wife and a Havoc for me! He gave me some pieces to start my own reloads, but I still have a lot of learning to do, so I am going to load up some sugar rounds to see what to loads do. Now I need a supplier for rounds and cones. Here are some pics
