Description

VFC Carl Gustaf USSOCOM M3 MAAWS Gas-Powered Gel Blaster Rocket / Grenade Launcher

The Modern "Bazooka" of the US Special Operations In service around the world, the Carl Gustav recoilless rifle has also been continuously developed for new uses, including with the US special operations forces and the British SAS as a tool to deal with bunkers and combat vehicles. In November 2011, the U.S. Army ordered the M3 series for regular troops on the battlefield in Afghanistan to fight against RPG rocket launchers equipped by opposing forces. The effective range of the RPG rocket launcher is 500-600 meters. Compared with the M3 Carl Gustaf, with the combination of different ammunition types, the effective range can be increased to about 1300 meters. And as an added feature set through the use of proper munitions, it also has the ability of air bombing enemies hiding in bunkers from directly above.

On March 28, 2013, U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) asked the manufacturer to reduce weight but gave strict instructions that the reduction in weight and size should not affect the weapon's center of gravity or durability. Saab Bofors Dynamics had also already developed a weight-reduced version prior to delivery to USSOCOM that had been shown in firing tests to have no performance degradation, no recoil increase, and barrel life essentially the same as the unmodified version.

Features

• Utilizes nylon fiber-reinforced polymer for the main structure, which greatly reduces the weight of the whole product. This provides a weight reduction from what would be 10 kg (if manufactured using original material) to about 4 kg with the VFC design
• Internally, all key components are still made from metal so durability is retained where it matters most!
• The first gel blaster  "bazooka" made by VFC
• Realistic loading and firing operations help keep immersion at max
• Built to externally replicate the real M3 as closely as possible with details like dummy rifling, realistic adjustable iron sights, and a realistic "venturi locking device" to seal the breach
• Includes a simulated 84mm dummy rocket with the ability to add firing functionality
• Install a standard 40mm gas grenade by removing the dummy rocket cap on the 84mm rocket, allowing you to fire gel balls or rubber caps!
• Comes with a standard green gas-powered firing system
• MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny rail for adding optics, lasers, or other accessories
• Compatible with double bell gas grenade (not included)

Soaking & Storage of Gels

When soaking the gels, they need to be soaked fully submerged in water from the tap for a minimum of 5-6 hours.

Once they have fully grown you can leave them in the water and keep them in or out of the refrigerator.

When you are ready to use them just drain of any excess water with a strainer before you feed them into the mag but do not dry them as they need to be lubricated to work properly.

You can store gel balls in a bucket of water with a lid for up to 3 months before they start to go super soft. We recommend if you do this to change the water every couple of weeks.

DISCLAIMER
Do not upgrade any part of your toy gel blaster as this will void the warranty. Upgrades refer to pulling any of the blaster apart or opening it up, changing springs or upgrading the battery from 7.4v to an 11.v battery.
