    The Beehive

    The Beehive / Hornet’s Nest – 40mm 10x .22LR Adapter – Everyday No Days Off
    http://www.everydaynodaysoff.com/2009/10/13/the-beehive-hornets-nest-40mm-10x-22lr-adapter/


    This aptly named adapter known as the “beehive” or “hornet’s nest” allows you to load up to 10 .22LR cartridges, and (inserting one large pistol primer) fire them all through the little rifled steel barrels with one pull of the trigger on your 40mm grenade launcher. 40mm grenade launchers are considered destructive devices, and require a $200 tax stamp.

    40mm chalk rounds and smoke rounds are readily available, but it’s the destructive ammo for them is hard to find, and VERY expensive. AutoWeapons.com is selling M576 40mm buckshot rounds for $125 each and on top of that each destructive round also requires a paid tax stamp. This beehive / hornet’s nest contraption seems like it would be great for practice, not to mention cheaper to run considering a box of 500 .22LR is around $20.

    The major downside is that the adapter is $595 ( HERE on AutoWeapons.com ) but if your a 40mm fan, what you spend on this adapter you’ll make up for in ammo savings in a very short time.

    I’d like to see one of these made for 37mm launchers, because they are not considered destructive devices!

    I have one of these for my m79. It makes it kick like a mother fucker.

    And 37mm launchers are to be registered as DDs if you shoot anything other than signal flares out of them.

    Also, the rounds themselves aren't DDs unless explosive.

      Do you have a link for one of these for the 37mm?

        Don't think they make them. Since you'd have to register the 37mm as a destructive device to legally shoot one in a 37mm launcher, most just do 40mm because it opens up other/easier options.

        Or others have bought the 40mm beehive and had it turned down to 37mm.

          Ah, got it. I'd never dream of making my 37mm a destructive device due to costs but I do like research

            Another point to consider is a lot of the 37mm launchers aren't really made for launching anything but flares. Some could dismantle with anything else.

              I don't recommend milling it down for 37mm

                  Does this not make it a machine gun since more than one round is fired with a single pull of the trigger?

                    It's been debated. Fortunately no one has written to the ATF for clarification.
