I'm sick of those airsofters always getting all the cool stuff . They get these cool ass frag grenades at my field while we get to chuck smokes... I know this company makes paintball version but apparently only those EU scumbags can only have them (product manufactured made in Russia)
so... I'm going to modify and test them, waiting for them to cure them ill post a video tomorrow.
I'll be using some 15 year old .43 rounds
maybe might even buy 6mm paintballs/air soft paint rounds .
they say they use.50 cal rounds but I think .43cal is a perfect fit.

Though awesome, I highly doubt any commercial field will allow you to use them. You need to prove no single ball will be over the chrono limit set by the field rules, which I do not believe can be measured accurately.

I'm looking forward to your results though, as Id love to have a grenade variant for fragging players.

[Snowpuff]

Lol in my honest opinion I doubt it can go over 200 fps and most of not most of all will be destroyed apon the blast and it will be splatter, I seen a few videos guy standing beside then and setting them off and was always splatter

Cool Idea, I've seen this trip mine on Ebay and wondered how well it worked.... New Paintball Simulation Trip Wire Mine reusable paintball mine | eBay

There's one you can make with cap gun caps on a mouse trap for under $10. It would have to use a kill zone/radius rule though.

A long time ago played with some outlaw players and one guy had some trip mines. I’m not sure if anyone ever triggered them, but he loved putting them out on the field.

I had and used one of those cobra mines at my old local field and a couple times in the woods and they worked as they should and were fun, now
tippmann grenades were the really fun ones to play with

There's a field near me that sells low grade flash bangs essentially and they're pretty sweet. No idea what they're called but I used one on my buddy during my bachelor party. Perfect throw right over a wall into what essentially was a cubicle, shit was cash.

[Ecapnation]

Great idea till you throw one at a dude and he just takes it

[Snowpuff]

They explode...so.. he can take it if he wants it

[Ecapnation]

These are single use?

Those work pretty well, actually. I've never used one with a pull string, so that might be even better than the pressure mine that I found at a field years ago. The spray is pretty good and it would actually hit a decent amount of people if they're grouped up.

Now.. will players call themselves out for it? That's the question.

[Snowpuff]

Hopefully you can yell at a ref to check them ...but that's not always the case

[Snowpuff]

Ecapnation sure you go ahead and put this right into your pocket then

If somebody threw this at me, I would be livid.

[Snowpuff]

Well ... at my field we all sign the same waver.

The biggest problem with paintball grenades has always been and will always be, nobody calls themselves out for a tiny speck of paint.

For the people saying these wouldn't be allowed on a field, that's entirely up to the field. Supergame allows flash bang grenades and I can tell you from experience, while they are not police or military grade, they are fairly effective. Pull string pyrotechnic flash bang grenades are already used. This is just adding paintballs in-between the inner and outer walls.

Chronoing wouldn't be an issue because the paintballs don't leave intact

Like 90% don't leave intact a few fly out . I would like to try the 6mm paintballs for airsoft, might be more effective.

[jetenginekyle]

Why not use bags of colored food starch and water? You'd get a lot more splatter and it would be cheaper than paintballs.

the only way im agreeing to allow grenades is if we play grenades only

ive actually had pretty good experience with "SquadBuster" style paintball grenades.

i used to spray some lube into the end of the tube so the bb faces far less resistance than it normally does. this works amazingly well.
i would also only ever use them at very close ranges where i was able to ensure i could throw them hard as possible at a solid target.
The scenario Ecapnation refers to happens when you try to lob these things any sort of distance and they land in some brush or leaves. this cushions the impact to the point of preventing them from going off and then being thrown back, usually exploding the second time.
when they do work, they fly back upward in a spiral. the "area of effect" is "christmas tree"-shaped.
extremely satisfying to actually get an elimination(s) with these but, end of the day, more of a novelty than worthwhile.

[Ecapnation]

The scenario I'm talking about is with reusable items people stealing them.

oh, well hide an airtag in it
