Good job MadMax and to all who helped him out through the whole process.

Questions:
-Possible FPS upon exit?

-If there is a pill box with 3 people in it and I throw a nade in and it lands beside someone will I be worried about hurting someone ?

-I was wondering if you could do a small test- Get some poster size paper, like the ones teachers use close to 3 feet long and hang them in a room. Pull the pin and lets see the the effects not on a stand. This would show what Kind of a spread it would produce.

-Will we have to worry about a nose guard lol now, so BB's dont fly up our nose?

I have a feeling I might have to order a couple regardless

Again Good job guys/girls?!

Steve

Your hard work will pay off. I'm sure you won't be able to keep up with orders for a long long time. I'm happy that you can make money off something you love, good for you. That alone is something a large % of people will never have. Good luck.

We have play tested these grenades extensivlly at TTAC3, and been involved in testing right through the proof of concept, design prototype, preproduction prototypes, and final revision pre-production prototypes.

FPS on exit.. enough.. but not too much.. even for close proximity ( had one go off right beside me more times that I care to count )

There is no worry about hurting someone from the expulsion of pellets.. you will kill lots of people... but you won't hurt anyone.

As I type this I am sitting in a 18 x 12 room... if one went off in here EVERYONE IN THE ROOM would be hit ( unless they hid under the desk ) that is the kind of spread you get.

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

LOL...bro, Do some research on the other AI Grenade threads (search function).. 180 BBs at140 fps at exit using 0.20s. Nice and safe...and something about 5 guys in a hotel bath room with Carl (MadMax)....
Have 3 on PRE ORDER....BLING!

...and yes. Developed, tested, and sold in CANADA first.

Where's the rest of the stack to clear the room?

Funny video.

Projection, more sales of bb's and propane.

Question might have been asked, but can 0.12g bb's be used instead.

Any weight of bb can be used...

Cheesevillage · March 5th, 2008, 20:34

I didn't see its dimensions posted anywhere.

Small enough for this? https://dstactical.com/product_info.php?products_id=873

One should be able to increase the muzzle energy by increasing BB weight, following the same principle as with gas guns.

monkey530 · March 5th, 2008, 23:23

Next step is a version that uses dried beans, or peas or something.

"Hey, is that your lunch?" *Points at dried peas*
"No, I had some wasabi peas earlier."
"Then what are those for?"
*Pulls pin ...1...2...3*
"Oh..."

Cheesevillage · March 5th, 2008, 23:32

I estimate it to be 13 cm in height...

MadMax · March 6th, 2008, 01:36

Good guess! I updated my site with size info.

Styrak · March 6th, 2008, 01:45

Haha I love how you have an "awesome" spec.

Manvil · March 6th, 2008, 01:45
