Hobby Shop Acty

40mm Pistol Mounted Grenade Launcher

Matt was kind enough to send me some scanned articles covering this new pistol. I have compiled these images into this article.

This model is as yet unreleased by Hobby Shop Acty, I have been given no release date, so it is unknown as to when we will see it in the shops.

More info should be available shortly at:

Stock Specifications
Model Hobby Shop Acty 40mm pistol mount
Ammo


ANGS shells
First Factory 40mm shell
Foam Grenade

Mount: 20mm 'Weaver Rail'

RRP

10,800 Yen ~100UKP



Loading mechanism: As you can see, this launcher works much like the H&K grenade launchers. The firing tube pivots downwards allowing the shell to be loaded.

The shell tube is held in place by a sprung loaded lever that runs along the bottom on the 40mm tube.

In the image to the left you can see the rear of the ANGS shell (the black disc, with the silver circle in the centre).

Up close and personal: This is what the business end of the unit looks like. Shown here is the ANGS 18BB gas shell.

For CQB this could well be the most effective room clearing device yet. Combined with the low cost (an estimated 100UKP) this is sure to be a popular item.

The 20mm weaver fitting will mean that this new product can be fitted to a whole range of pistols, including:

Glock 18c
WA Blademaster I & II

WA Prokiller
..and many more

If you are in the USA, AirsoftDepot.net is the most likely place to have this in stock first.

If you are looking to import this item from the East, then your best bet is to try the TokyoModelCo.
