Tac-79 37mm Top Break Launcher

Ready for Land. Configured for Sea.

The Tac-79 brings classic launcher character to your signaling setup, whether your gear lives at the range or aboard your boat. Planning maritime duty? Select the USCG version above for the United States Coast Guard-approved configuration. Even your launcher should report for duty in the right uniform.

The USCG package includes the official approval number 160.028/29/0 engraved on the receiver and a 37mm-to-12ga flare adapter—shown here—for compatible standard 12-gauge boat flares. Key exterior hardware is also upgraded to stainless steel for improved corrosion resistance when conditions get salty. Consider it the maritime dress code.

⚠️ RULES OF ENGAGEMENT — READ BEFORE DEPLOYING

Our 37mm launchers are NOT firearms. They are designed for their intended signaling applications, with one non-negotiable rule:

👉 NO firearm ammunition. Ever. A flare adapter is for compatible signaling flares—not an invitation to experiment.

• No 12ga shotgun ammunition

• No centerfire or rimfire cartridges

• No Beehive or improvised rounds

Ignore that rule and you risk serious injury, damage to your launcher, and potential ATF violations. Review the BATF rules and our Legal, Privacy & Return Policy. Misuse also sends your warranty packing—without a farewell ceremony.

Stay sharp. Use it as designed. Keep it legal. Keep it safe. Good judgment belongs in every loadout.

🔥 TAC-79 CONFIGURATION OPTIONS

One platform. Multiple personalities. Choose the configuration that fits your intended use and preferred style:

• Tactical Mode: A collapsible AR stock for an adjustable fit and a modern, all-business profile.

• Compact Mode: A 6" pistol configuration for those who prefer a smaller package with plenty of character.

• Classic Mode: An authentic military-surplus M79 fiberglass stock for that unmistakable vintage-warhorse look. Old-school style still reports for duty.

• Maritime Mode: The USCG-approved configuration with its included flare adapter and stainless-steel hardware upgrades. Ready to join your marine signaling kit.

⚙️ BUILT FOR THE MISSION

Configure your accessories without turning your gear selection into a full-scale procurement meeting.

• 4" upper Picatinny rail at the 12 o’clock position.

• 6" lower rail for compatible grips, lights, and other accessories.

💥 WHAT IT RUNS

Designed for compatible 37mm signaling and pyrotechnic rounds, including:

• Flares

• Smoke rounds

• Specialty and visual-effects rounds

Always confirm that the specific round is approved for your launcher and intended use. The right ammunition is part of the mission plan—not an afterthought.

Specialized less-lethal ammunition for authorized law-enforcement and military users has separate compatibility and legal requirements. Do not assume a round is appropriate simply because it fits the chamber.
