A&K M203 40mm MOSCART Grenade Launcher; Super Shorty

A&K
Code:
£74.99
  • Full metal construction
  • Ultra-short version - Great for CQB
  • Mounts to 20mm Picatinny rails 

If you need more firepower without extra length, the A&K M203 40mm MOSCART Grenade Launcher; Super Shorty is ideal. Based on the real steel M203 grenade launcher used by Arnie in Predator and serving with the US Army from the late Vietnam War right up until the present day, this M203 is the "Super Shorty" version, even shorter than the "Short" version and ideal for compact SMGs and short-barrelled rifles. The pre-installed mount is a QD example for 20mm Picatinny rails, meaning you can quickly mount it and remove it in seconds depending on the situation at hand.

Like other Airsoft M203s, the A&K Super Shorty uses 40mm MOSCART grenades as a power source and will require at least 1 grenade to function. Most MOSCARTs work like a giant shotgun, sending between 18 and 140 BBs downrange with a single pull of the trigger with a game-dominating spread, though specialised MOSCARTs which shoot different payloads are available. If you want to give your primary a more aggressive look with a firepower increase as a bonus, the A&K M203 40mm MOSCART Grenade Launcher; Super Shorty will give you what you need!

Description

If you're a noob tube fan but primarily play CQB, this is the launcher for you! The A&K M203 40mm MOSCART Grenade Launcher; Super Shorty boasts full metal construction and a convenient QD mount for 20mm Picatinny rails. Being the "Super Shorty" model, this is the shortest '203 on the market, ideal for compact SMG and short-barrelled rifle setups. 

To attach the M203 Super Shorty to your primary you will require at least five inches (12.5cm) of free 20mm Picatinny rail space on your platform to provide clearance for the trigger. A perk for the indecisive grenadier, this launcher comes equipped with a QD mount for 20mm Picatinny rails, meaning you can ditch your launcher on a wim to reduce weight or keep it in the kit bag and install it in seconds when you need more firepower!

The QD mount is simple and quick to use; simply press down on the small tabs in the middle of the lever then flip the levers rearwards. Now that they are loosened, the M203 Super Shorty can be installed in your desired position. Once it's in place, flip the levers forward to secure it. 

This grenade launcher is fed using a single 40mm MOSCART shell. Once the MOSCART is loaded with BBs and gas it is then ready to be loaded into the M203. To load this launcher, you must push down on the tab on the top left of the launcher, after this you can slide the handguard forward. Then insert your MOSCART at the back of the barrel and slowly slide the handguard back into place, being forceful here can trigger the MOSCART, so be careful! This is then primed and ready to fire, all the necessary safety precautions should be taken.

Part of the original M203 included in this Super Shorty version is its trigger lock safety system, designed to minimise negligent discharges as long as you use it, that is! To engage the safety, pull back on the tab located just in front of the trigger. This then locks the trigger's movement and obstructs its travel. To release the safety and ready this grenade launcher for firing, push the tab forward and the '203 is hot. 

Once your MOSCART shell is loaded, this launcher should be treated as a primed Airsoft gun. We recommend only inserting your shell in the game zone, lest you upset your local site's marshalls. If you're unsure about MOSCARTs, we recommend giving our MOSCART guide a quick skim through for loading and safety tips!

If you're looking for a more menacing look for your short-barrelled primary or want extra firepower without extra length, the A&K M203 40mm MOSCART Grenade Launcher; Super Shorty belongs on your gat!
