has anyone ever fired the old still grenades from the yugo's IE m1 carbine /garand still adapter with a pineapple grenade attached. I tried one of my adapters and it fits on the yugo launcher... just wondering

The grenade tube is a standard size. It should fit any NATO spec launcher.

Seems like I remember someone at the CETME Shootout putting a tennis ball in a grenade launcher body and lanuching it about 70 yards with a blank...

I THINK it was a 59/66....but I'm not for sure..

That looks more like a flash hider/muzzle brake than a gernade launcher. Would be a tiny gernade.

All you need to launch the gernades is a adaptor, a couple of zip ties and a tennis ball.

it's a rifle grenade launcher, so it does fit on just like a fh, and the rifle grenade slips over the outside and is launched with a high powered blank

I like this part of the warning: Do not use this launcher to shoot tennis balls at people or animals. Injury could result. This is not intended as a combat weapon.

I imagine it keeps everyone out of any trouble with the powers that be, to ensure you dont mate it up to something that could be construed as a distructive device, like shooting flameing tennis balls.

Yep, I've shot tennis balls using a M1A2 grenade adapter shooting off my 59/66. I use the German blanks you see at some gunshows, and get about 75 yards. Just clean up, because those blanks are supposedly corrosive. I have a dummy pineapple grenade, but I haven't tried to launch it yet. I don't think it will go very far with the blanks I have.

I may just have to pick up some M-31 practice rifle grenades, would they work?

Obvously I shouldn't have mentioned the tennis ball story.....:icon_eek:

Now in a few days we'll be seeing pictures of a tennis ball size hole in a FedEx truck, or the side of a garage, small child, etc...:533:

We tried this tennis ball grenade launcher on a firearms range. Very controlled environment. Please be careful if you're going out and trying this please please..

They should work but by useing the adaptor and tennis balls you stand a better chance of not destroying the projectile, which is why most folks use them. The yugoslavians built the launcher to launch nato spec gernades rather than soviet ones. Tito was very paranoid and played both sides against each other.

P.S. to add to what Longhorn says, dont try shooting them off the shoulder either, they were ment to be shot from with the buttstock on the ground.
