40mm Loose Change

We are now offering the Loose Change 40mm projectile by F3DS. These are a three piece air burst projectile that use a firework fuse run through the pusher into the payload capsule and hot glued in place. It is a simple, effective, cost effective round that is a lot of fun and works great with a MILC chamber! Adding 4-5 grams of FFFG Pyrodex in the capsule and filling the nose cone with colored chalk creates a pleasing “day time” type firework. The payload will ignite at different distances by using different burn rate fuses and/or different launch blanks. The standard launch blanks used for chalk rounds work great with the 10s/ft, 15s/ft, 20s/ft and higher burn rate fuses. I recommend the blue 15 second safety fuse SSB5565 which should put you at about 150 yards with a standard chalk launch blank.

Feel free to download and print these for yourself. I offer these for sale for those that want to try these without needing to calibrate the print for the correct final dimensions or simply don’t own a printer. I insure the ones offered on the site will fit the 40mm M212 tubes and cases sold here.

1. Insert a length of firework fuse through the pusher.
2. Cut fuse about flush with the base of the pusher and leave about half an inch into the payload capsule.
3. Using the hole on the inside of the pusher, fill the cavity with hot glue until it oozes out around the fuse. Fill the small diameter cavity around the fuse on the other side.
4. Fill the capsule with 4-5 grams of Pyrodex P FFFG blackpowder and screw it on the pusher.
5. Fill the nose cone with colored chalk leaving room for the capsule and screw on to the pusher.
6. If you are using a side discharge (bb40sv001) or “MILC” case you are done at this point and ready to launch.
7. If you have a standard case you will want to shield the fuse with a penny by glue one over the fuse in the base of the pusher. The fuse should bent to the side and not crushed by the penny.
