It's really hard to estimate effective radius as the pellets do get thrown very far. I wouldn't consider the cast radius an effective radius as they're moving pretty slow at the periphery and most players probably wouldn't consider them valid hits (riccochets, not felt etc).

At TAC-08, pellets were going high enough to hit the 30' ceiling and cross over the top of the barrier netting at the live range falling onto retailers on the other side. Not dangerous, but if they can go 30' straight up, they can go further horizontally. I wouldn't claim a 60' blast diameter based on that, but pellets could be scattered over a 60' circle in a clear area.

I know from experience it's impressive, but it'd be nice to see a number or two that would allow people to visualize the area of effect of one of these.

Luxury! we used to dream of BBs flying up our nose!

There's one answer!

[Mysteryfish]

I took a quick peek, but I think if the answer's on the website, I missed it:

- After the 3 second delay, "detonation" starts.

- How long from the start of "detonation" until all the BB's have left the device?

I'm guess you don't have an exact number, but is it:

- "snap of a finger"

or is it:

- " ka-WHOOOSH" ?

Having been on the receiving end of these several times in testing, it tends to be something along the lines of <KLUMP thump thunk> "OH NOES!!!" <FLOOOSH!!!>

Once the timer is up, all BBs seem to leave the grenade in a fraction of a second.

These would be great for flag raiders drug lab....

I was wondering if the timer was still adjustable so that it has mid-air bursts, since you said you modified the timer.

1 sec and 3 sec delay options.

1 sec gives you a great air burst... and is excellent for those pesky corner campers.

O.O *Looks at my wallet**

Wallet: Nooooooooooooooooooo!!

Sign me up for 1... or 3..... <.<

All bbs are gone in about 1/15s.

[DefCon 1]

Was wondering if you thought of adding a light source in futur models for tracer bbs?

It would be awsome for night games.

[The Saint]

What would happen if you try to run the grenade off a charge of CO2 from those Madbull CO2 adaptor things? I figure I'd ask it now based on academic curiousity before someone else asks it because they actually want to do that.

[MadMax]

The overpressure relief valve farts out your entire gas charge if you attempt to overpressurize this grenade. Intentionally defeat the valve to hot rod it and you'll lose a blowout plug and have to buy another for $99999999.

Safety is a major concern for a device with no safe direction and newbs who might stupidly pull a pin in a safe zone or jerks throwing a grenade into a frat house.

[Azathoth]

Who would throw and airsoft grenade into a frat house?

Be a man.

Through a real one.
