The underbarrel minigrenade launcher accessory has a 6 shot tubular mag, I believe. yet the all of the illustrations depict a present day size underbarrel GL (20mm? 40mm? I forget). So, as it says above, how big are these things?
They must be smaller than the round used today as having a 6 round tube mag under your AR would be absurdly HUGE. To say nothing of the (clever) Armtech MGL series. Try getting your paw around the pistol grip. And the whole MGL thing, IIRC the pistol is cheaper than the single shot non-underbarrel weapon, made by Ares(?). I guess I think these things are about the size of a shotgun shell (12 or maybe 10 gauge). But that makes the single shot weapon obsolete, right? Why have to reload after each round when you slap clip of 6 or 12 home and rock-n-roll? They all have the same range, I believe, unless the pistol takes a penalty. What you people say? |
