Have you looked into airsoft APS type shotgun shells? They operate on green gas appear to hold 12 bb's in a single large chamber. (Though, I've been wrong before... once or twice.) ![]() Envisioning a urethane rubber or latex foam "bullet" shaped like the upper half of the M-40. |

Yea I’ve seen those. The guns are 8 times more expensive than the little launcher I have, and while the action is very realistic it does mean after cycling the action you then need to scrabble around on the floor for your ejected shell, plus the cases and tops are consumables. Then there’s the added weight. I think if you were going for a ‘replica’ approach where you needed the action to be true to the original prop, but still wanted it to fire pellets then that would be a good option. |

I’ve been considering something similar to this, but with one of the holdout “launchers” that use a single gas shotgun shell. The goal is to conver the front locking mechanism to go on the bottom, and load and unload the shell from the front. |
