"Too bad it's made to kill people" What did you expect from a grenade launcher? #metalstorm3glgrenadelauncher

I'd love to see an old-school German mod where it launches spinning potato masher grenades. #metalstorm3glgrenadelauncher

I was waiting in such anticipation for an explosion when it showed the range the guy was shooting into. I wanted an explosion so bad right then. Now I gotta go play Borderlands and blow something up. #metalstorm3glgrenadelauncher

I think you mean it fires at a RATE of 720 grenades a minute. You'd need to have Flash Gordon fingers to reload quickly enough to get 720 grenades in and out in one minute. Also, the Milkor does not have multiple barrels. It has one single barrel, but multiple chambers. #metalstorm3glgrenadelauncher

@N@tedog: Thanks for pointing that out. I was about to say it myself. It's like saying a revolver has multiple barrels. #metalstorm3glgrenadelauncher

Very useful indeed - doesn't require one member of a unit to be a designated grenadier, really.

One thing though; doesn't the extra weight up front make the gun unbalanced? #metalstorm3glgrenadelauncher

@weatherman: It's 5lbs so it isn't abhorrent but yes, you're going to need to adjust your firing position when using this. Notice in the video his hand position is almost 4 or 5 inches in front of where he would normally grip the barrel of an M16. This may also be to the ergonomics of the Milkor's trigger position but it certainly makes an M16 more cumbersome. #metalstorm3glgrenadelauncher

gawd, kids have it easy these days, what with their fancy pants twitter, automatic transmissions, pre-ripped jeans and high tech polymer spit balls. when i was a kid we bought weed using a payphone! coffee was black and a 2GB hard drive was plenty! MTV played music videos and neosporin was for pussies! there was a new seinfeld every week and we traded pogs! that's right, pogs.

can you imagine handing a youngster some cardboard discs and tellin him to go have fun, and to knock off all that AOLin' cuz it's costin us by the minute? #spitballs

back when it was the badass kids who wore all black and the whiny pansy asses were properly ashamed of their depression! back when cigarettes were the same price as gas, and gas was $1.86! we talked in pager code and everyone did the macarena! we bragged when we were the first to get 56k dialup! back when TVs had cathode ray tubes and phones had cords! #spitballs

Yup, things are changing, but, people and differences between them are the same.

We will continue to be the minority and that's fine.

We are special.

@nutbastard: I feel so old when someone talks about "back in the day" and then mentions a 2GB hard drive and Seinfeld. I remember working at Radio Shack in the early 90's, then staying late and watching the new episode of Seinfeld on TV after-hours since it took me almost an hour to get home and PVRs hadn't been invented yet. 2GB? I remember when I was excited about the 420MB drive I bought for over $200 in 1995. 56k? Don't get me started on pogs and gas at the at-the-time exorbitant price of $1.86. Sigh.

Oh, and what would someone of an age to be interested in pogs be doing watching Seinfeld? The contest is not something pog-age kids need to understand. #spitballs

These look a lot like Tapioca balls...which is why some people just use pearls from Pearl Milk Tea as spit balls. Sticky, staining (because of the tea), and it comes with a launch tube too (the extra-large straws). #spitballs
