Where in the world can one buy live rockets for launchers, 40mm rounds (not training rounds), live grenades, mortar rockets, etc. Do any websites sell them? I have founds tons of launchers and rocket tubes but none of the explosives. Bill O'Reilly knows some people, ask him. |

AFAIK, live explosive ordnance for mortars, grenade launchers, and rocket launchers is not available legally to civilians. I can't even find illumination rounds for my 60 mm mortar.

in theory you can own all of that with the proper licenses but..... NO COMPANY wold sell it to you.
all one needs is the correct ATF explosives licenses and storage bunkers (i looked into it, not that much) but no company will just sell you C4 or rockets just because you have the money and proper license. |

I heard about some NFA forum doing a group buy of 40mm rounds a couple of years ago so I know it is possible to convince companies to sell explosives if you have the stamps.

Quoted: So no one has a serious answer? Each round would require a tax stamp itself and you having a suitable ammunition storage bunker approved by the appropriate folks. Thats after finding a company willing to sell to an individual. Good luck with that. the most entertainment you would get with a 40mm is flare and smoke, and chalk rounds. |

I've heard of guys getting together and buying a cpl hundred rounds of HE for their 203 on some sort of demo at the manufacturers site.
I think a minimum order On munitions might be out of your price range if you consider the launcher entry price expensive. |

If you are serious you could look into getting all the "stamps" (licensing) and manufacture your own rounds legally.
Now this is just the info I have found from research on the subject, but look into it yourself. and stay legal. If you talk about breaking the law you will get banned. |

In all actuality, 1/4 oz of explosive material is ample to make some decent rounds, especially in 40mm. No tax stamp needed. Consider this, a typical 12ga birdshot shotshell is loaded with somewhat less than 20gr of smokeless propellant (which deflagrates or burns). You have up to just over 5 TIMES that weight to use, and you can make use of blackpowder which detonates (at ~1312ft/s). You could make some decent antipersonnel rounds out of a charge even that small. However, that assumes storage and transportation regulations, laws, ordinances, etc. are followed. Stay smart, stay safe, stay LEGAL. Knowledge is power, know your laws.

It's not just about money.
It is fun until you launch one downrange and it doesn't go bang. Then you have to deal with the unexploded ordinance. Unless you have the training or know someone who does then explosives are way over most people's heads. You can't just walk away and leave it. |

Even if you have a decent plot of land and you build an ATF approved bunker, get the appropriate licenses, and play by the ATF's extensive list of rules, no company will sell ordnance to a civilian. Even if you found a company who would, their liability insurance would not allow it. Its very bad for business if a civiilan (who only buys a couple bucks worth of anything, remember, they sell to the USG by the truck load) does something stupid and lands them on the evening news.

I'm sure you could find them if you put a WTB ad on Sturm or subguns.
The big (huge) problem with them is: You need an ATF approved explosives storage magazine for them. Transportation rules are a major deal too. Not worth the hassle IMHO, unless you already have an explosives company and are well versed in that kind of thing. ETA: I know it is (or was) possible, I knew a guy who had a huuuuge Title 2 collection with all kinds of weird & cool stuff (even had a Deer gun in the styro drop box, very rare, his collection had to be worth millions even back in those days) about 20ish years ago, and he had a stamped hand grenade. Haven't talked to him in many years, but if I ever do, I'll ask him. |

Sorry but 90% of us here cannot buy from this company, they only sell to LE and Military. This is the same with every other company that produces EOD/UXO training devices. The beauty of IEDs is that they are improvised, so folks just build them out of whatever, though the pictures on that website do give lots of interesting ideas on where to conceal/employ them (inside a chunk of concrete curb, behind highway guard rails, etc). |
