I've seen some of the TLSFX ball grenades and thermobaric's used along with the Enola Gaye smokes. They are some pretty neat pyrotechnics but being so they aren't the safest thing in the world.

I have noticed they are pretty popular over in the UK and I like the potential they can add to a game. Taking in mind the safety of such devices though, the sound/flash grenades can be quite loud indoors and there is a potential fire hazard with the devices too. Even though pyros like cold burning smoke are 'cold burning' heat and the initial sparks are still produced.

That being said it is all about safety just like most things in this sport. If a host will allow them in a game and the people you are playing with are trustworthy enough not to do something stupid then awesome. That however does not eliminate all risks involved. They are pyrotechnics after all and not toys, but neither are the guns we shoot each other with.

Besides all of that they are pretty cool for what they are and they do as advertised, some almost shockingly well.
