It's the only way I know how to make golf fun! :shakeshout:

It seems with a standard AR-15 GBL (Golf Ball Launcher) range will vary from 150-500yds depending on how much you believe the story ;) I would say 150-300 is probably reasonable.

The fastest speed a golf has been recorded at is just over 200mph (~290fps) which is slightly faster than a M79 round at 250fps, what speed the GBL fires one at is any ones guess but I would think it's about the 250fps mark. :good:

M203 for your Steyr, Mark? The 203 for the Steyr is known as the GLA or Galah! :lol:

Thanks, but unfortunately they don't ship to the UK - asked about 18 months ago when looking for some other parts.

What really annoys me is they have magazines for my Destroyer Carbine! :cool2:

Maybe your clearance has been revoked - have you been talking to wikileaks, lately? :run:
