Hey guys, I will be purchasing a M7 Grenade launcher, sight, and practice grenade from GunPartsCorp. I wanted to know if anyone has fitted airsoft muzzle mounted grenades (like ones for M4s) to an M7 launcher. A friend of mine has done it with an M8 launcher for his M2 Carbine but I wanted to know if anyone else has done such a thing. Thanks

For airsoft estimate 3 bb's to every real bullet and hope for the best. So if a realistic loadout would be 100 rounds then you should be good to go with 3 100 round midcaps. Have a resupply area on field where you can reload during missions. The packing list above says 270 rounds..triple that for airsoft.

In order not to start new thread I would like to present my attempt to build skirmishable grenade launcher. I combined real M7A3 grenade launcher, MadBull 108 Round Rifle launch Grenade with Flashhider Adaptor mentioned above and russian custom made certified airsoft grenade launcher with projectile (TAG Innovation)

So it can launch BB shower or projectile for 40-50 meters
