Re: Build Log: MFIC

I'm familiar with 40mm grenades and 37mm, and other projectiles, but that doesn't make 40mm any less of an odd pipe diameter in the United States. Not out to make a grenade launcher, you know. 😋

40mm is a pretty odd size here in the US but it'd be somewhat similar. Definitely a bit smaller.

I actually have a legit need to make a small launcher for putting radio antenna wires in trees, so that's my next project for now.
