Have a S&W 209 "N" frame 37mm launcher, looking for info!!

Flares are flares, and gas canisters are gas canisters. I don't believe either of those are typically considered ammunition. Although the dictionary doesn't mention it, I seem to recall being told before that devices which were not antipersonnel or anti materiel in design did not fall under the "ammunition" category.


Those are very neat toys.... makes me want to see them in action during 4th of july!!!

Manual on these?

I just acquired a model 276 gas gun. If anyone has a manual on this I'd love to have a copy of it. I'd happily pay for your trouble to scan it.....

Follow up - I have what I needed - thanks....

The police gas guns we used in the 70's were 37MM while the military versions that used anti-personnel rounds were 40MM. I have never seen-heard of any 37MM anti-personnel rounds.
I have recently seen some 37MM launchers for sale at gun shows that attach to the M-Forgeries and have never thought to ask if paper work was required to purchase.

Hello,

I have one of the long barreled versions that has the "N" frame pistol grips. I believe it had a shoulder stock originally one of the rarer if not the largest Smith & Wesson tear gas units are the "Pepper Fog" dispersal devices. They look just like the units you would use to fog an orchard to keep pesky bugs at bay. The original application was to keep the pesky bad guys at bay. Like we see now a days with all those demonstrators complaining about my President Trump.

Let me know if you would like to feast your eyes on either of them?

By the way how do you download photographs?

Back in the late 70's I was a LEO. Seabrook NPP hired officers to work security. I worked there for two weeks, slept in tents. We had an incident were anti's tried to tear down a chain link fence. I grabbed a S&W Pepper Fogger and a group of us ran thru the main gate down to where they were pulling down the fence. I had to stop and start the unit. We sprayed over a dozen bad guys. There was one guy who stood there and tried to hold his breathe. Let's just say it didn't end well for him.
Great machine.

Added the Line Thrower version, model 270 w/ pistol grips (in the original box) to my collection. Uses 12 ga blanks to fire the line to drowning person. Managed to find a few boxes of the blanks for it in an auction. Just need the pistol version which is very hard to find

And I finally found the pistol version to complete the series. Might have paid a bit too much but first one I've ever seen at auction.

These were also used by the Navy for firing lines from one ship to another. A nearby friend has one with the original projectile.
