Product review of the Havoc 37mm Launcher by Spikes Tactical

[scott762mm]

What is the length on that front to back? Ive got M4 carbine and its got a 16' barrel and i dont want it to look stupid if i put one on there.

[weaponeer]

@scott762mm - they make a smaller one for carbines

[ottwilliam]

[JonnyC308]

good stuff man nice review

[iLoveMyGun89]

Wow excellent review thank you for making!!! How hard is it to come across ammunition for the 37mm

[weaponeer]

@iLoveMyGun89 - I typicall use the adapter and fire the better 26.5 ammo in mine. you can find 37mm online, but it's pricey

[95Eg6SoCal]

How are they?? Are they legal in california??

[weaponeer]

@95Eg6SoCal - is anything legal in california anymore? the launcher is considered a flare gun, and flare guns and projectors are not considered firearms otherwise there would be a problem with boats and emergency signaling

[ComandnConquerFreak]

Hey weaponeer, Im wondering if it is possible for me to load the 9 inch side loading version on my M4, my M4 has a 7 inch rail and im wondering if the 9 inch would work on my 7 inch rail. It isn't a real M4, but a high powered gas airsoft gun, but I would like to use flares at my night games, anyway, response appreciated!!

[weaponeer]

@ComandnConquerFreak - I have mounted mine to M4 Carbine, MId Length, and Rifle Length without any problem. Mine is the full length Launcher, and it how worked on the others, but the shorter version looks much better. Once thing to watch is to make sure you are not mounting the launcher to a plastic rail. it has to mount to a very sturdy rail with very secure mounts. it can kick like a 357 mag wit the right rounds. I would suggest the stand Alone model of the launcher. much better setup

Great review, thanks a lot

[StrongBusinessMinds]

Hello i want to kno if it is possible to mount this launcher with a bipod mounted, If u had the legs folded forward in the direction of the barrel of corse...BC i want this product but i need my bipod....lol Can u post a demonstration of corse..

[weaponeer]

@StrongBusinessMinds - normally no.. you cannot mount one forward because it blocks the barrel, and the launcher does not have a rail under it for accessories. the only possible option would be the CAA (now EMA) BSR Side Mounted Bipod. Side rail mounting provide a lower center of gravity and a wider stance in even greater stability

nice review 5 stars

[espgunstore]

I need one badly if someone sells one

give me an mp

[SuperFuely]

Hello, Nice video, thanks. Question, what is the exact length of the upper rail on that launcher? (I was thinking a mid length or rifle length floating handguard might look better than having it stick past the 7" carbine handguard.) Take care

[weaponeer]

@SpiritofAdventure22 - you can purchase it online. and while I "could" use CS or CN in my launcher, I had enough of that stuff in the Military. Now smoke and flares are more than enough for me (nothing like the wind changing direction and gassing yourself)

[hrdknox2000]

@weaponeer I got gassed in the Army too. That's why I think it'd be a great less than lethal option in the event of a riot or something (e.g. LA 1992). Is it legal for civilians to purchase 37mm rounds in CS without a special letterhead? If so, where could I get them?

[weaponeer]

@hrdknox2000 - look online, some companies sell 37mm CS without a letter. I typically only use cover smoke.

[thegorrillaman1]

Might be a stupid question, but is there a feature on this that will allow you to lock the barrel of the launcher closed so if you point your rifle down, the thing won't slide forward? Great review!

[weaponeer]

@thegorrillaman1 - Yes, the Launcher has a latch that locks the launcher in the close position for firing, so you have to press the button to unload and load the launcher. in fact if you don't press the button the launcher will not fully close (designed so if you are at a range you can keep the breach open to prove it's safe.)

[bearing01]

cool launcher. cool vid.  /John

[1airplane21]

thats a nice FN FAL

[1AbominAble1]

Great review, thanks for taking the time to make it.

[Jesses001]

It is well built. I find it a bit heavy on my rifles though. The one I have here have the slots cut into the side, just for looks. I am currently in the process of making a stand alone stock for it out of aluminum. I know they sell stocks for that, well, I am cheap, lol. That signaling kit is nice by the way.

[weaponeer]

@Jesses001 - I nearly got the one with the vents (looks cool). I would really like the new side opening one as well. I'm like you.. I will likely build my own stock so it's a stand alone weapon. far too little income

[skeebert]

6:51 the havoc.. havoc 37mm by.. spike... tactical..?. FTW! =D Great video man!

[DocTacDad]

Can you get beanbag round for that? 

[weaponeer]

@DocTacDad - Law enforcement can

[taofledermaus]

Have you got any videos of you firing up? I don't recall seeing any.  Thumbs up, that thing is a beast!

[weaponeer]

@taofledermaus - No videos on firing it. That will be done sometime in the future.

[ChunkyMilkProduction]

You have all the firearm license classes right? like 1,2,and 3

[weaponeer]

@ChunkyMilkProduction - This one is not classed as a firearm. It requires no FFL, No paperwork because it's a 37mm Flare Launcher and not a 40mm Grenade Launcher which is classed as a DD.

[GearBuyersGuide]

Sound didn't work for me..

[weaponeer]

@GearBuyersGuide - I have noticed that sometimes YouTube has a sound problem. just reload the video and it typically works.

[krazy45cat]

I have the same one :) They Guys from SPIKES are great .Local Fla Guys !

[amcjrotc06]

just wondering what kind of rifle that was in the end of your video the one with the bipod

[weaponeer]

@amcjrotc06 - it's my Custom L1A1 FAL 7.62x51mm

[FFarmerCharlie]

this is what julyforpatriot got canned for..

[67mustangreg]

really good video review too! forgot to say that. lots of info.

[weaponeer]

@67mustangreg - thanks

[67mustangreg]

I really really want one of these for my A4 RAS clone but I cant find one for under $250 without any inserts or flares. I want to trade a 95% condition chinese sks for one.

[bisquik3006]

I'm a little handy with a 203 myself. Pissed our instructors off because I never used the sights, and shot from a little above my hip. After hitting my first two targets, they shut their pie holes.
