The Tac-79 handles standard 37mm ammunition. Available ammunition includes fireworks, flares, smoke and other pyrotechnic rounds for civilian use. If you are a member of law enforcement or the military you can have a variety of “Less Than Lethal” rounds at your disposal. These include Batons, CS Gas, Wildlife Management (Bird Control) and crowd dispersing Rubber Pellets. The Tac-79 is ideal for use by SWAT Teams and others with critical tactical requirements.
This particular launcher is great for land or water use. To fire standard 12ga boat flares (i.e. available at any sporting good store), a 37mm - 12ga adapter is required.
The Tac-79 comes with one 4" Picatinny Rail mounted at the 12 o'clock position on the breech end of the barrel.
The barrel also has a 6" rail on the bottom.

Our 37mm Launchers are NOT firearms. Do NOT fire any round meant for a firearm in any 37mm launcher. Specifically, do not use an adapter to fire 12 gauge or centerfire rounds or rimfire rounds. DO NOT use Beehive rounds. This launcher is not a firearm and damage to yourself, or the launcher is likely if you violate this warning. Further, you would be in violation of BATF rules. The Warranty will be void under any of these conditions. Please review our warranty Legal, Privacy & Return Policy.
37mm launchers are exempt from the National Firearms Act of 1934 and do not need to be registered with the ATF. This remains the case as long as it is not being used as a “destructive device”. Rounds considered to be “destructive” would be wood pellets, bean bag rounds, or other anti-personnel rounds. If a user would like to use a launcher in this capacity, the launcher would need to be registered with the ATF and a serial number (ATF provided) engraved on the side (this is not a difficult process)
At the moment, each 37mm can NOT contain more than 109 grains of gunpowder. Exceeding this amount requires licensing and is generally reserved for less-lethal or anti-personnel rounds and will likely mean that the round will be considered a “destructive device”. Meaning, the lift charge and the secondary charge (the payload) can not be over 109 grains of gunpowder total.
