King Arms M79 Blooper 40mm Airsoft Grenade Launcher

King Arms M79 Blooper 40mm Airsoft Grenade Launcher

Ever wanted to bring a little Vietnam-era boom to your loadout? The King Arms M79 Blooper isn’t just for collectors or history buffs—it’s a serious bit of kit for anyone who loves that satisfying thud of a 40mm shell leaving the tube. Nicknamed the “Thumper” for good reason, this airsoft grenade launcher delivers both in looks and performance, and trust me, it’s a head-turner on the field.

This airsoft gun is a faithful reproduction of the legendary M79 grenade launcher used extensively during the Vietnam War. The first thing you'll notice when you pick it up is the weight—around 2kg of metal and genuine wood. Yeah, that’s real wood on the stock and foregrip, not the fake stuff you see on cheaper replicas. The finish is slightly darker than promo pics, but honestly, it looks better in person. More gritty, more authentic.

Functionally, it sticks to the original’s break-action design. Crack it open, load a standard 40mm gas grenade shell (not included), close it up, and you’re ready to rain chaos. There’s something satisfying about that whole manual process—it’s like cocking a double-barrel shotgun, but with more kaboom.

The full-metal barrel and receiver give it solid heft, and the build quality is seriously tough. This isn’t a launcher you baby—it’s the kind of thing you sling over your back as you stomp through the underbrush. The trigger guard even rotates, so you can comfortably use it whether you're a lefty or a righty, which is a nice touch. The adjustable ladder-style rear sight is a throwback to its military roots, and while you might not always use it in a fast-paced skirmish, it adds to the old-school vibe.

In practical airsoft play, the M79 shines as a room-clearer or ambush starter. Load it with a shower shell, step out from cover, and drop a cloud of BBs on unsuspecting opponents—it’s always good for a cheer or groan, depending on which side you’re on. It's not something you'll spam like a GBB pistol, but in the right moment, it steals the show.

Sling points are present for carrying options, and the rubber shoulder pad helps tame the kick (yes, there’s a little bit of satisfying gas puff with each shot). It's great for milsim scenarios or themed loadouts, especially if you're rocking a US Special Forces or Vietnam-era setup.

This isn’t your average plinker or sidearm. The King Arms M79 Blooper is a statement piece—one that fires a thunderous message loud and clear. Use it wisely, and it’ll earn its place in your kit. Just don’t forget to bring extra shells and gas. Once your mates see it in action, they’ll want a go too.
