Best M203 shell?

novaordo · June 3rd, 2005, 10:37

DOes anyone know which m203 shell gives the loudest bang/most reliable/highest range out of them all?

I'm looking for a shell that can uses green or red gas becuase the bang from that would be plain awesome but I also need range too.

All the m203 cells are basicly the same... I find if it's a 70 bb cell try putting only 30-40 bbs in for better range... Every time I look at MadBull cells it makes me wonder if they are a lot more powerfull than other brands.

They work all the same, except some have different bbs. I personally like the lower round gernades due to the fact it takes so long to fill a 150 RND. Also how many BBs really do you need to shower a person... hahaha

but some can take propane while others can't. I know GB-Tech and Madbull grenades can't take Propane. 134a only.

Madbull's website (http://www.madbullairsoft.com/products-grenades.htm) lists all of their grenades as usable with green or red gas.

hmm... weird. I was reading instructions for one of their grenades yesterday and it said for "low power gas use only."

use propane all the time in my m203 gbtech shells with no problems.
to me the best shell going. no pieces to pick up.

every time i try using propane in my gbtech nades, the o-rings get blown out of position and it's hard as hell to reset the trigger.

jaws · June 5th, 2005, 22:55

i have found the key to them is lots of lube on the o-rings and they work without problem. makes them reset nice to.

HGI · June 6th, 2005, 02:22

I usaly give them a good spray of lub in the bottom befor filling with propaine

ILLusion · June 6th, 2005, 02:35

It still doesn't work for me.

I drench the setup in silicone before the fire and it still locks up/blows out on me

RAS_Jackson · June 7th, 2005, 18:26

Ive had the same problem even with HFC, Its fustrating i sold my M203 because the shells were such a pain. Also the fact if you lose one of those little barings your HOOPED. (yes i also drenched my setup).

Ive heard the King Arms ones are good. Good prices and they take green.

I gotta take my apart and rebuild after each blast. The bearings dont "seat" even when i do the 1/4 turn unscrew and tighten method. Im using Mosquito Moulds 165rd Moscart BB showers. They seems to be fine with propane. Extremely expensive so they better work with green, lol.

Some of the madbull 40mm rounds take CO2, and there is this small like $15-$20 attachment that just screws onto a paintball CO2 tank, then you push the tip of the attachment into the nose of the round and let it fill (for CO2 you will need to oil the shell in generous amounts, b/c C02 is very dry).

Good luck.
