Make your own. Buy the blank crimping die, its not cheap but will pay for itself if you shoot a lot of them. http://www.ch4d.com/products/dies/bc I have one for 30-06 Grenade blanks, because I have a small assortment of inert grenades for an M1 Garand. It is a quality die. That is good to know. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I spoke with xproducts for a warranty replacement for my X-25 drum and they told me the anti-gun owner has been put to pasture for his comments. They replaced a shitty used gen 1 skele drum with a new one no questions asked. I'm willing to give them a second chance. I did get a really good deal on 7.62X51 ballistite cartridges the other day. Looks like they use a star crimp and some kind of sealant. |

The can cannon is awesome. I am genuinely surprised they aren't far more common and popular around here. Perfect novelty for an afternoon of 'fun' shooting or a round of sporting clays.
The noise is a perfect 'wuhmp', the recoil is considerable, and getting hit with beer/soda backblast every once in a while is a part of the fun.

Unless you're trying to be a grenadiersniperer, I don't see much utility in tying up a lower.
Too bad there's not some way to rig that to be like the world's biggest pen flare launcher. Or like how you can get a stock for the 37mm 203-style launchers... |

I have one, and use it on non-ROTC field exercises with cadets at work. It is a blast and works for what I want them to use it for- properly incorporate the grenade launcher into their squad missions' planning and execution. We shoot tennis balls, foam grenades, soda cans, and even M8/M18 smoke grenades out of it (depending on the situation).
Before each FTX I have them shoot a tree at close range with a soda can, so they can see the SERIOUS problem if they hit the wrong target with the wrong projectile. |

Just sent them an email and got a responce. They do have longer tube lengths avaliable. They also said it didn't make a lot of difference
They are working on a 45 acp drum right now as well. I'm liking them already. I have a bunch of the xproducts drums and will never ever buy another from them. The F5 guys seem good to go. |
