The problem is that since everything has gone metric the rims of cans no longer fit anymore
Yes. The can rims don't fit unless you discover a stash of 1970's "Double Diamond" you're pretty much done for. You could pretty much get two firings from a DD can though although on that second firing if it had been riddled with not that many holes it'd fire off but it'd sort of compress a bit.
DUNWATER fire it with you arm held to the side of your body (about one foot away) side on so your arm swings in an arc rather than holding the thing pointing forwards in front of you.
Thanks mate ill definitely give it a go ,but it's bloody difficult to to hold it one foot away on the right hand side and pull and release the striker with your left hand without getting an elbow in the nuts.Yes.

Had a couple and both good. Only occasional issue is the extractor claw sometimes doesn’t pull the fired case out easily and needs a screwdriver to help

If it’s you in the video then you’re holding the launcher wrong. The dummy should be at your little finger side of your fist as it’s held. Your elbow is then bent at about ninety degrees. This is what absorbs the recoil when fired. There’s a marked difference between the two ways of holding the launcher in felt recoil.Same, issues with extractor and lost a few 'o' rings from the end. Funny thing is, I bought my first one in the 80's as a teenager. Hadn't used one for about 20 years, now as a 50 something-year-old, I find the bloody things kick like hell! Never noticed it at all in my youth?

Every now and then I forget and just grab it from the dummy bag and fire. Without making sure it’s the right way round makes a big difference in felt recoil.Thank you. I am sure when I was younger I just pointed the bloody thing in the direction I wanted the dummy to travel and let it rip - never remember any recoil issues at all........maybe I should have read the instructions
