The M203 Sabot Grenade Launcher
This cannon project is taken from the U.S. Army's improvement on the m79 grenade launcher - the M203.
The M203 Grenade launcher was designed to be mounted directly and
permanently to the m16 rifle. Leaving the grenadier able to use his launcher
and rifle concurrently in a fight. This is a great idea which we have now
adapted to paintball use. The M203 Sabot cannon is a pvc paint throwing weapon that mounts directly to your gun by sliding the unit over your barrel.
The sabot cannon will not affect your guns normal firing. The cannon is launched in a similar fashion to our other paint cannons using 12gram or constant
air CO2.
The cannons' short barrel length will not make it an accurate weapon, but an area weapon (what grenades are actually used for anyway) with a range similar to the m79 cannon (50+ feet direct fire, 100+ feet or more by lobbing the paint in a trajectory). The cannon has the ability to take out several opponents with one shot from the wide firing pattern. 20+ paintballs will fit in the barrel.
The cannon should fit on just about any gun with any barrel (with the exception of oversized diameter barrels ex: stingray I), and has been tested on the stock VM-68 barrel, the All American and the progressive from Smart Parts. Here is a close-up of the sabot cannon by itself, not attached to a paintgun.
Custom setups can be configured to your gun. A dual feed co2 adapter can be used or the sabot cannon can run off your paintgun's' CO2 supply.
