TAG Grenades; Shells or Launcher?

What are you using to reset them? 

All sorts of things. C02 charger, leather-man pliers, long knife. whatever I have on me at the time. They'll press down all the way, click, and they should be good to go. But they just vent out the port (where the gas is supposed to come out, not one of the o-rings)

Use something thin, like an Allen key, down the hole in the center. Works every time for me.

I'll apologise if this has already been mention but I'd check that your site allows TAG rounds. There are a fair number which won't allow their use.

He's in the US (mostly). I don't think it's a problem for him.

There is the resetting tool on fire support works like a charm for me.

I can thoroughly recommend the tag-015 launcher it is completely idiot proof, 1 co2 capsule in the quick change chamber, fold it down and it is pierced and sealed. Good for 8-10 shots, just load the projectile in the front nothing else and fire, reload and repeat. Yes it is more money to get the launcher over the shells but i feel it is worth it for a few reasons:

1. it is a tag product designed for tag projectiles from the ground up so there are no worries about compatibility etc.

2. it will only require 1 maintenance kit compared to x amount of maintenance kits required for x amount of shells, disassembly is very easy as well.

3. aiming with a launcher attached to your rifle is much more accurate and I found much more consistent as you have something in your shoulder to and a rifle to aim at your target with. The extra weight of the rifle also helps with the recoil,  there isn't a huge amount of recoil with the pistol style launchers anyway.

4. Rate of Fire, once you fire the shell you have to prime it reload it with gas etc, the tag launcher (AK version) just requires you to put the next projectile and fire until you run out of co2 then it is literally 3 seconds to change the co2 capsule.

cons:

1. Price, it costs more than having a few shells.

2. Weight, it adds a fair bit of weight to the front of your gun, my AK with the launcher weighs 4.7kg which is quite a bit when carrying it around all day.

this is just my thoughts on the system and i don't regret spending the extra to get the tag launcher at all.

I use an M79 and the C02 Tag shell

Bloody Brilliant!
But if you cost everything up (circa around £300 just to launch the tags) then it's around a ballpark for a dedicated launcher

But I wanted a Blooper ?
