Is this something they really intend to market or was it just done as a fun concept?
I WANT ONE OF THOSE!!!! =D
Hate to burst your bubble Steve, but that’s no grenade launcher! It’s actually a Spike’s Tactical 37mm “Havoc” flare launcher, available on their site:
http://www.spikestactical.com/z/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=50&products_id=132&zenid=imtrpui0pcfceki1i66t1qbme6
The block of white text near the front of the forearm reads “Warning: Use only USCG approved flares, smoke or gas rounds”
I recently ordered an AR lower from Spikes, and the second I spotted that spider rollmark I knew it was that crazy flare launcher of theirs! They did quite a job with the M203 styling.
The more you know
Heath, fun
Tom, thanks for the info
No problem! Spike’s is a great company, I’m glad to see some of their stuff getting exposure coupled with big names like Knights.
I know belt fed is the coolest, but how about a kit like this for an AR-15?
It’s a fun concept. I don’t think it is suitable for combat because you have to exposed yourself using the weapon if it is hand held. But you never know tho, it could be use as a mounted system.
Fun gun to shoot at range. Even funnier scaring liberals pansy.

I haven’t followed the development in awhile, but it’s a cool idea.
They seem to have based the gun on the old Stoner 63 LMG design. Atleast it looks very similar to it.
Compare to this foto of an airsoftreplica stoner:

Kerberos: It is built off of the KAC LMG (AKA: Stoner 96). The KAC model is just an updated version of the earlier ARES LMG (AKA: Stoner 86). In a couple of the early photographs of the original KAC LMG, you could still see the original ARES rollmarks.
I’d love to slap one of those chainsaw bayonets from the other day on this thing.
All I want to know is. . . .
Does it really shoot?
How much does it cost?
Where can I get one?
Woodman,
1) Yes
2) See 3
3) In your dreams
wow…..this is beauty :’)
Hmmm, wonder what’ll it be like as an airsoft conversion kit?
I’d imagine it’d be kinda hard firing from the prone position, but it does look fun.
max, ha, you just lie on your back holding the gun above your head and fire away, easy
Can anyone explain to me what gun this is based on and what other sorts of standard parts are used? I don’t have much practical use for the gun but I bet it would be fun just to build one for a friend and I do have access to serious CNC machine work.
