The spread and concentration shouldn't be a primary concern as most grenades are useless past 50 feet. Your primary concern should be finding a grenade that will actually fire without leaking. In that case, considering that one of Viper's M433 shells leak, and that I wouldn't have the slightest idea how to repair it even with the supplied replacement parts, what should I do here? |

M203 grenades are really easy to fix. You unscrew them, there are some ball bearings in a metal piece, a spring, and a few o-rings. Not much else, unless it's leaking from the valve. Then you unscrew the valve and replace it. Not hard.
A 60 round shell will give you a slightly longer range, but less spread. A 120 round shell will give you slightly less range, but a greater spread.

I'd say stick with 80 or less rounds. The less rounds you shoot, the farther they go (in most cases). If you want an even MODERATELY effective grenade, you need range. When you start to go past 100 rounds, range starts to drop. What's the point of having to position yourself closely to use a grenade? That's what shotguns, or some good old fashion full-auto is for. Don't get me wrong, I have an M203, and I love it, but for how much it weighs, it's uses are very minimal. And I'm using 46-round shells for that matter.

You can use 40mm grenades as a sidearm if transitioning to CQB-rated areas and your rifle is too hot. When it's a situation where one shot can make or break you high bb count grenades can help, but yet again, those situations are few and far in between. |

I found the DBoy 3-in-1 launcher for a lot of sites. They're around 50 bucks, but the shipping kind of kills that. The best sites I can find for the DBoy is about 90 bucks total. I'm thinking for that price maybe I should just get an Echo 1 on AGSI or Evike for $100 and get free shipping.

I just took Viper's M433 shells off his hands. Still need a launcher though. I can't find one in commerce, so should I just shop for a Dboys for $50+30s/h, or perhaps get an Echo 1 for $100 + free shipping from ASGI/Evike?

I messaged him about that a while back. What's SPF mean? Either way, I'm guessing I have to buy the whole set. I already bought a set of grenades, so... |

SPF means "sale pending funds" So, you could buy the whole set and have a bunch of grenades so that the grenades you have last longer because the more you have to change out, the less damage/use each one of them takes. That is if, and only if, the set is put back up for sale. |

Well, it's more that I can't really afford more grenades right now. I'm also thinking in terms of how many grenades I'll be able to reasonably carry at one time. Would I really have room on me for 6 grenades?

Well it isn't what you will have room on you for, you can have 6 with you at the game, but leave 3 or so in your ammo can, or gun case or whatever. Then as you use them, just switch them out from you vest.
But, ya, I can totally understand the affording them thing.

UPDATE: Ordered a DBoys 3-in-1 launcher from KH Mountain. It came to about $75 altogether. Hopefully it'll be here before 4th of July.
