Bates & Dittus LLC Launchers are chambered to handle any manufacturer’s 37mm ammunition. With the optional 12ga and 26.5mm adapters ammunition in those calibers can be safely used to expand the variety of loads available or to allow the user to engage in low cost practice. Bates and Dittus LLC provides the 26.5 mm adapter at an additional cost of $50.00. We can also provide a 12-gauge adapter. Both are can be seen under "Accessories" in the Products Section of this site, and on the B&D Order Page.

Ammunition loads that cover a variety of requirements are available for this launcher. Ammunition is divided into two classes, that which is available to civilians and that which is restricted to law enforcement, the military and others who have the appropriate federal licenses.

Typically, civilian ammunition includes flares, smoke and some other pyrotechnic rounds. Flares travel approximately 400 or more feet and come in White, Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Silver and Gold.

“Breakers” travel 100+ feet and then explode with a bright flash. Smoke loads produce hundreds of cubic feet of dense smoke.

Military/Law Enforcement rounds include ammunition loaded with rubber projectiles and various noxious gasses. These rounds are strictly controlled and are not available on the civilian market without special licenses.
