Assault-Rifle-Mounted Golfball-Launcher: What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

Posted in: Sports, Today's Chili, Toys and Games

This rifle-mounted golfball launcher is either a great way to spice up yet another pitifully dull round of golf, or a Darwin Award waiting to happen. It’s impossible to know which way it will go.

The flared tube, fashioned from “solid stock”, fits onto your rifle barrel in the place of a muzzle brake. Pop a golfball into the tube and load up the gun with blanks and you’re off. To illustrate just how lively it can make every Pringle-junkie’s favorite waste of time, take a look at the comments from the product page:

[T]his is just too much fun! I had to make my own blanks to try it. The golf ball still went a healthy 280-290 yards into a stiff wind. This is just a great add-on that is heavy, but who cares. Golf has never been more entertaining. – Brad M

Absolutely awesome. I put it on the end of my M4 and just looks awesome. This thing launches a golf ball a good 400 yds. It only drops about 5-10 feet at 200yd for me. flies like a knuckle-ball. but fun as can be. – k2

Today I shot my first golf ball. How far did it go? Don’t know, went out of sight at about a 45 degree angle. – USAF Prior Service

Pretty awesome, right? Who needs stupid clubs? (well, maybe a putter). And it doesn’t just fire golfballs. If you’re worried about removing your flash suppressor just to play a round, then don’t be. “No-Noveske” explains:

I bought this and guess what? It works just like a Noveske KX3 Flash Suppressor except it doesn’t have the name, the flaming pig or the price tag. It is a bit longer but it works nonetheless, directing all the blast and concussion out the front of the barrel. […] The one bonus about this is I can shoot golf balls and the KX3 cannot.

This formidable accessory costs just $20, and fits AR-15, M4 and M16 rifles. Like I said – what could possibly go wrong?
