I stumbled across this:
"AR-15 and M4 and M16 Golfball Launcher Threaded and Machined Out of Solid Stock"

Looks like fun doesn't it? Only 20USD+shipping
It's not the sort of thing I'd buy, being in Canada and all, I Just wondered what the likes of you thought of it
anyone else come across unusual gun accessories on the internet?

Fairly old hat, the idea of attaching a "cup" to the muzzle of a firearm to fire a large bore projectile isover a century old ;)

Of course i saw that post :)
that iphone mount looks pretty handy, i mean, maps, youtube guides for unjamming your made-by-the-lowest-bidder equipment, and music all at your fingertips! not to mention angry birds...
I think more things need cupholders, like lawnmowers for example
this should probably have gone in the offtopic post topic

Not to mention ballistic computer applications, or even a simple spirit level.

I have one of those golf ball launchers for my AR. It does just as it says. Pretty loud though (because of the blanks).

It's about as described on CTD. I can consistently get up around 200 to 300 yards (usually on the upper end of that range).
