A practice tear gas round comprises a projectile having the same caliber as the standard tear gas gun, and a main adapter which is separately loadable into the launcher and has an outside diameter of the same caliber as the launcher while providing a chamber of reduced diameter for use of the launcher with devices of smaller caliber than the launcher. Preferably, an auxiliary adapter is receivable within the chamber of the main adapter in order to further reduce the caliber of propelling charge which is to be used for the practice round, while allowing removal of the auxiliary adaptor in order to receive in the main adaptor a standard 12 gauge shot shell, for example, for use of the launcher as a single shot 12 gauge shot gun. Additionally, the standard gas gun can be converted to a single shot rifle or shot gun for firing various other smaller calibers of cartridges and/or shot shells according to the auxiliary adaptor selected and inserted into the main adaptor for reception of a cartridge or shot shell. The projector also may be a cannon or a mortar, with the practice round sized accordingly. Further, the practice projectile may be connected to a main or auxiliary adapter separately from the projector.
A kit selectively configurable for adapting a projector bore of a particular caliber to receive various selectable rounds for discharge by said projector, said rounds comprising live rounds comprising live cartridges and live shot shells and practice rounds utilizing blank cartridges as propellants, a first set of elements being said live rounds and said blank cartridges having a first caliber which is reduced relative to said particular caliber, and a second set of elements being other of said live rounds and said blank cartridges which are further reduced in caliber relative to said first caliber, said kit comprising:
A kit selectively configurable for adapting a projector having a bore of a particular caliber to fire various live rounds of reduced caliber and live rounds further reduced in caliber from said projector, selectively, said live rounds comprising live cartridges and live shot shells, and said kit comprising:
A kit selectively configurable for adapting a projector having a bore of a particular caliber to fire practice rounds and for adapting blank cartridges of reduced caliber and blank cartridges further reduced in caliber for selective and individual use as a propellant for each practice round, and said kit comprising:
