The China Lake 40mm pump-action grenade launcher was originally made by NAWS in China Lake USA to serve the Navy SEALs during the Vietnam war. I've made this PVC plastic and wood replica to use 40mm airsoft gas grenades, firing non-lethal plastic bbs. In true fashion to the original, it holds 3 rounds in the tubular magazine and an extra 1 in the chamber. Because it is near impossible to get a real specimen to take measurements and copy schematics out of, I relied on scaled pictures and my own ingenuity to make it functional and externally accurate.

You have no idea how happy I am right now. I'd seen this through my casual airsoft browsing a long time ago, and just today I checked out a link to your whistling Fluttershy automaton. When I saw that you're the same person, I was ecstatic. I've always admired your custom work, and the fact that you're a brony too makes you just about 2000% cooler!

Epic brohoof!

Accuracy depends on the shell used.

Holy god above!
You have done an amazing job on this master piece.
Did you craft the wooden stock by hand?
