I have an AR-15 golf ball launcher. It screws onto the end of your barrel. You load a golf ball into it and shoot a blank through your gun. It launches the ball a ton. It is brand new, still in the box. I am asking $25
For any questions: please call: 1-513-367-0926

Might be useful for the long drive hole at the next golf scramble!

Not hard on the gun at all, the military fires blanks all the time.

I think I'd rather have a M203 launcher mounted under the barrel of a regular AR....man I miss hearing the **PHOOMP*****BOOOOM**

Not only that, but recently (I remember seeing these in 2003) we had grapnels that were fired off the end of the barrel using blanks in the same way this golf ball launcher works.

Haha, passes the time for when you can't afford ammo.

Now make one that holds a dozen balls for semi-auto fire and I think we have a great non-lethal riot gun.

Now I know how to get rid of my slice...

Any idea on the distance one can achieve with a golfball, or the aprox. distance shooting at a specific degree of angle?

This says over 100 yards...

Thank you chefcook, that answers my questions. I think I will be getting one of these for kicks and giggles, its cheap too! Now if I can only find a golf course where I can use this...

Buddy of mine actually had one of these pieces of junk. We fired it at his orchard. Needless to say, there is apparently variation in golf ball diameter. After finding a ball (expensive) that fit, the nitwit forgot to use a blank and sent a 55gr FMJBT into the ball. Needless to say, XM193 vs. the cheap titanium core of a Top Flite ended the launcher's usefulness. Made for a fun afternoon with lots of ribbing of me man D.
