      The “launcher” is probably one of those under barrel AR-15 attachments which is trivial to get (expensive and might also require the steps below, but that’s a one time thing).

      The grenades though:

      To legally purchase, make, or possess a Destructive Device (DD) you must:

      Be 21+ years of age to purchase a DD from a dealer.

Be 18+ years of age to purchase a DD from an individual on a Form 4 to Form 4 transfer (contingent on state laws).

Be 18+ years of age to make and register a DD on a Form 1 (contingent on state laws).

Be 18+ years of age to possess a DD as a beneficiary of a trust or as a member of a corporation (contingent on state laws).

Be a resident of the United States.

Be legally eligible to purchase a firearm.

Pass a BATFE background check.

Pay a one-time $200 tax to register or transfer the item.

Reside in a state that currently allows ownership of DD’s.

      And you have to do the forms and pay the $200 for each grenade individually.
