“Hey, toss me a beer”.  

[Ronald_55]

I actually think it could have its uses. Soda cans with homemade smoke could well be useful. Only after SHTF when there is no more law though. Until then watching Dr Thunder slam a block wall would be a good afternoon.

And I thought you had gotten a .458 Socom........

But those do look like fun.  I have watched Matt on Demo Ranch launch a bunch of stuff

I’m keeping the beer for when y’all set the woods on fire with tracers. Will be able to put it out without getting covered in ticks.

Still have the 458 SOCOM. This is a 2700 Snowflake.

It’s a soda can, or whatever else you can shove in there, launcher.

It might just be cooler than the golf ball launcher I used to have on an SKS.

You were kind of late getting on the AR bus... plenty of time to catch up.

As usual, I'm a little late to the party.

They say this is the best ammo...

Somebody on YouTube had one of those and they filled the cans with cement they hit pretty hard

I'm betting there'd be some recoil there.

Just got my third, went with Tromix this time, not Rock River.  Gotta go generate some brass to get my reloading set back up.  This Black Butterfly ammo looks great though.

There's recoil with soda cans. They say more than a 12 gauge. That's why there's a Limbsaver on it.

I'll bet you didn't have to wait months. I like RRA's product, but they suck at business

[Rightwinger]

4 days from order to door step!

[mikegideon]

Sounds like they are building a lot of guns these days. Good thing.

BTW... I believe the Snowflake is a little cheaper to shoot with Sam's Diet projectiles. It would be dirt cheap if you could reload the blanks. I understand that's not a good idea with this thing

I plan to play with some creative loads. 

[mikegideon]

Finally got a chance to shoot this thing. Loads of fun. The Limbsaver is necessary IMO.

You giving up on bruises in the shape of the Magpul logo, eh?

It's a cheap PSA milspec stock with a good recoil pad. Thing kicks like a shotgun
