SKS soda can launcher

[samsmix]

I know it's the ultimate useless accessory, but I still want one. Does anyone know where to get one of these? How about blanks to use them with?

Soda can?

I know of - and own - the golf ball launcher, from Bloom Automatic

7.62x39 blanks are hard as hell to come by these days; luckily Bloom themselves has a huge store of old Wolf blanks, and sell them at a rate of $6 for a box of 20.

Hopefully Dan's Ammo will restock their supply!

SKS Can Launcher

Newbie here. I understand this is an old thread but I still wanted to post.

The SKS can launchers are incredible...the whole range stops to watch. Hard to find but there are specs on the internet to make your own.

New mfg 7.62x39 non-corrosive blanks are available at ammoman.com

Cheers!

Cool, I've got to get some dummy garnades for my Yugo, I can see the range officers going ape when I put one on my SKS to fire.(LOL)

Damn, I wish I had known about these a couple of years ago when I had access to a friend's farm on which to shoot.

Unfortunately, those days are now gone.

So, do these actually launch a 12oz can of soda or just the name they're given? I've seen the golf ball versions.

I understand that this launcher was developed shortly after the success of the T shirt launcher by angry beverage servers who worked at sports stadiums and needed a more timely manner to get their product from A to B....

"So, do these actually launch a 12oz can of soda or just the name they're given? I've seen the golf ball versions."

These SKS can launchers are insane! They send 12oz(full)coke cans 300+ feet in the air or knock down anything in it's path. We buy 6 to 8 twelve packs of cheap soda to take to the range. After shooting ARs & AKs for a couple hours...everyone takes a break. We pop one in the air...the place goes nuts. We invite everyone over to try it. I've had people take pics and videos. Fun stuff!!

You don't have to worry about the blank bursting the soda can on launch and covering everyone and everything in soda?

Or do you use some sort of cardboard wad?

You gotta keep in mind the SKS was designed to launch Russian steel-canned sodas.

might i suggest no-name brand SELTZER. Its only carbonated water....no corn syrup, dyes ect in it to make a huge mess.

Smart------Thats one of those "Why the hell didnt I think of that"!!!

 

[Mike Irwin]

But sugar-based sodas are far better for perimeter defense...

Hmmmmm sounds like a god excuse to buy an SKS!! I wonder if that launched could be adapted to a Garand or other rifles. What is the golf ball launcher like? Where can these be purchased? Looks like fun!

Register with Century Arms, they probably have a trillion of them. I have some 80's manufacture I still haven't blown off yet, I think I got 500 at a time.

Have fun cleaning after using those things...
