I have some questions concerning Grenade launchers. Why are grenades and grenade launchers so expensive? What makes them such pricey pieces of equipment? I want to get an grenade launcher attachment for my gun but I also need to know before hand if they are really worth it? If you could tell me your experiences with them like: how effective they are, how much they hurt, personal experiences, etc, etc.

I think the main reason they're so expensive is because they're appealing. The people marketing these know that if someone wants it, then they can price it higher.
The effectiveness of them is somewhat lacking. It's similar to a shotgun with birdshot, because what the grenades do is shoot out lots of BB's all at once. It's not very accurate, it doesn't shoot too far, but it is intimidating. The FPS of the bb's coming out doesn't seem to be too high, therefore the bb's doesn't hurt too bad on impact.
So it all comes down to whether or not you would like to spend the extra money on one. They look good, are somewhat fun to use, and are rather intimidating, but it all comes down to money. I have one for sale, shoot me a PM if you're interested.

If I get one it won't be until October, but if you still haven't sold yours by that time I'll definitely be interested.

I've been using a barrel mounted m203 for about a year now. They are definitely more for show than they are useful. Thankfully I knew this before I bought mine.
Airsoft Innovations is working on a 40mm grenade that shoots out and explodes on impact. Maybe if that gets released it will make them a bit more useful.

Something cool would be like if it shot something like a tornado grenade. And it fires out and spirals shooting bbs out just like a tornado grenade does.

I will be pissed if I get hit with one of these. But,depending on how you use them, how many bb's you use, and other factors determine how effective it is. You can use it as an under-barrel shotgun or as a spray from the sky. Both are good uses for an m203.
