King Arms M79 Sawed-Off Airsoft Grenade Launcher - Full Metal, Real Wood

*This is for the launcher only. 40mm Shell not included. Sold Separately.

M79 is a single-shot, shoulder-fire, break-action grenade launcher developed by Springfield Armory. It was the first weapon of its type ever produced. To keep recoil forces low, it is chambered to fire 40 x 46 mm rounds, usually known as the High-Low Propulsion System. It saw its first action in Vietnam War. It quickly became so popular among the American soldiers that it earned multiple nicknames, such as “Thumper,” “Thump-Gun,” “Bloop Tube,” “Big Ed,” “Elephant Gun,” and “Blooper,” as well as “Can Cannon” in reference to the grenade size; Australian units referred to it as the “Wombat Gun.” 

It is also possible to fire the M79 one-handed like a pistol (in fact, their stocks have sometimes been sawed-off to make them faster to draw), thanks to their lightweight and relatively soft recoil. However, this also makes the weapon more difficult to aim.
