Airsoft mortar!

Re: Airsoft mortar!

I've known about the development of this one for a while now

However I have not yet heard how far along it has come, how much it will cost when it does, or even what kind of projectile will be used

What I do know is that these guys build very solidly engineered grenades/mines, so I'd expect their mortar to be up to the same standard.

If anyone else has heard more about it, I'd certainly be interested to know

Re: Airsoft mortar!

The legality of a lot of what we do in our hobby could be called to question, throwing a ball grenade or thermo barac could be as bad as an Airsoft mortor.
I mil sim at events that use the Pyro based mortor, its effectively a double charge thero barac, the 1st charge launches it from the tube, and a few seconds later the 2nd charge goes off to represent the impact.
Nothing illegal at all, just a differant launch method.

Re: Airsoft mortar!

I never said it was you did I? And how does that change the fact you are recomending people to do it.... Also If you are firing it in the direction of people then it's still an accident waiting to happen.

It's a bad and idea and a silly suggestion, end of.

Right on Leon. This has been discussed before- launching any pyros out of anything is stupid and illegal- DO NOT DO IT

I understand where you guys are coming from, but I jut can't see that much difference in throwing the thing compared to launching it. As far a I'm concerned surely if you're not allowed to fire it out of a tube then you shouldn't be allowed to throw it at people, at least if it was fired at a relatively low velocity similar to a throw. Just seems an odd law to me

Re: Airsoft mortar!

i think that the law counts to chav's and the likes throwing/launching them in the streets, not to skirmishers throwing/launching them at events.

If that's the one used by Gunman Airsoft, then it is brown-trouser-inducingly hilarious. You certainly starting running the other way when you hear that first bang and see the other bang heading straight for you :D
