The Bane of Every MW2 Lobby
One of the most satisfying sounds you can hear in your life, I think, has to be the “bloop” of the M79 launcher, and this project can give hits of nostalgic pleasure all day long. The NT79 is a break action, single shot 37mm launcher that specializes in delivering payloads with historic swagger, and this has made it the most popular launcher release to date.
Designed by Fizzlez Firearms, a well-respected member of AWCY?, this is a great project for intermediate builders looking to get into the launcher scene.
You can find some of our other launchers we covered including the Anarchy 37mm, M202 Flash, Frankentfaust and B.A.L.L.S. Launcher.
Of course, as with any launcher, 3DGunBuilder recommends exercising extreme caution when beginning this project, as it requires handling dangerous materials, especially if you’re planning on making your own signals to launch. Keep all your fingers, life’s more fun that way.

NT79 Launcher Technical Specs
The files are designed to accommodate PLA+ as a minimum, and documentation recommends specific print settings. Durability may vary depending on selected print settings and printing materials.
The design primarily makes use of DIY components, with only a few springs and the trigger used from an AR-15 parts kit. Most of the parts listed in the documentation are optional, so for the purposes of this piece, we’ll only be listing necessary items.
