This video tests the effectiveness of a 37mm 'Marine Blaster 3000' grenade, loaded with wax crayons, for less-lethal crowd control. The testing involved firing at paper targets and simulated riot heads to assess projectile energy and impact. Adjustments were made to the projectile's charge to achieve desired effects, demonstrating a method for tuning less-lethal munitions.

This video demonstrates the use of 37mm flash banger rounds fired from an AR-79 grenade launcher. While technically classified as signal flares, these rounds produce a powerful, disorienting flash with minimal noise and blast. They are primarily designed for animal and wildlife control, serving as a visual deterrent.

This video demonstrates the effects of three different 37mm grenades: the 'Chocante' (shocking), 'Super Destruidora' (super destructive), and 'Explosiva de Luz' (light explosive). It showcases their deployment and visual impact, highlighting differences in their explosive effects, such as concussive force, aerial bursts with smoke and sparks, and intense light flashes. The presenter tests each grenade to determine which is most effective.

This guide details the operation and unique features of the M79 Thumper grenade launcher, famously known as the 'Thumper' or 'Blooper.'
