This video showcases three distinct 37mm grenade launcher rounds for celebratory use: the 'Freedom Round' with a multi-stage firework effect, the 'Crackle Round' producing a loud crackling sound, and the 'Whistling Pig' with a whistling and bursting finale. The host emphasizes these are for launchers like the Tac-79, not handheld grenades, and highlights Ordnance Group's reloading services for spent casings. Ammo Squared is also promoted for automated ammunition stacking.
This video compares the Tac-79 37mm grenade launcher and the Orion 12-gauge flare gun for hypothetical survival defense scenarios. While the Tac-79 offers significant intimidation and a loud report with civilian-legal 'Flash Banger' rounds, it lacks stopping power. The Orion flare gun is primarily for signaling, with extreme difficulty in accurate aiming for defense. Both are deemed suboptimal for self-defense.
This review tests the civilian-legal Tac-79 37mm launcher with four distinct payloads: smoke, flashbang, detonator, and starburst. The host clarifies the legal basis for 37mm launchers being smoothbore and intended for signaling. Testing demonstrates effective range, payload effects, and a kinetic energy assessment, concluding the detonator round is painful but likely non-lethal.
This video clarifies that devices resembling grenade launchers, such as the X Products Can Cannon and Tac-79 flare launcher, are not legally classified as such. The Can Cannon is a dedicated upper receiver for launching soda cans using blank rounds, while the Tac-79 is a 37mm smooth bore launcher for flares and wildlife control. The golf ball launcher, a muzzle device for AR-15s, also uses blanks to propel projectiles.
This video from Civilian Tactical explores the legality of civilian ownership of grenade launchers, focusing on the Tac-79 by Exotic Ammo as a legal alternative. The expert instructor demonstrates its operation, highlighting the key legal distinction of its 37mm smooth bore barrel, which classifies it separately from NFA-regulated 40mm destructive devices. The guide covers safe loading, cocking, and firing procedures, along with showcasing various ammunition types.
This video showcases the legal distinction and practical application of 37mm launchers, which are classified as flare launchers by the ATF and not firearms. It features the Ordnance Group Tac-79 and Tac-D, along with various exotic ammunition types from Exotic Ammo, including flashbangs and glass-breaking rounds. The content culminates in the creation and testing of a 'Triple Dumper' setup, demonstrating impressive firepower.
This review of the Tac-79 37mm launcher from Ordnance Group, sourced via Rost Armament, highlights its legal status as a non-firearm signal device. The host demonstrates the use of both plastic and aluminum hull ammunition, focusing on flashbang rounds for tactical simulation. While plastic rounds offer minimal range and recoil, aluminum rounds provide significantly more power and distance, making the 37mm launcher a fun, legal alternative for enthusiasts.
