Its somewhat an additive and subtractive question but do you think its a valid concept with 3d printer and the emergence of small scale cnc metal lathes that a larger goblin format shell may be possible? And im thinking more of the mini nerf football rounds as a shot cartridge. So precharged and loaded shells getting put into sonething like an m203, I saw the file drop over at maker world and it got me to thinking about the possibility (a new file would be needed or possibly remixed for the launcher) im getting ready to wrap on a different project and this sounds like a fun endeavor.

Sounds cool but how you plan to control velocity. Goblins didn’t have a velocity adjustment did they I thought they just shot really slow. -
Have you seen "scenario slugs" from Big Bang Paintball? They're shaped foam projectiles with a 3d printed ring that puts spin when launched from the launcher attachment. They're fired by a paintball gun, but the same projectile would be pretty bad ass to fire from an m203 or m79 launcher. Similar bloop too.

I like the idea but you really need some way to control velocity. Multiple shells would require you to chronograph each shell I feel like.Comment

I found the biggest issue with goblin velocity was in how fast, long, consistent you opened the valve.
i dont suggest that error of the goblin to be repeated. A spring powered hammer would give consistency.
the charge would need a way to be uniform as well and I dobt think its insurmountable.Comment
