As an avid nade chucker I would be a big fan of the TRMRs and regularly use 2 of them in my local CQB indoor site. I would not even bother with using these outside for fear of losing em and more likely to fail. I have had very few fails with these and being the multi shot type I would retrieve em after im hit. IMO it keeps it fair and fun without spamming grenades. Big fan of the timed dynatec and pulse armament nades too, at least with timed grenade you know they won't fail. I've decided to cut back as im carrying at least 4 of them at a time which is a considerable weight and space. Top tip, stick your name on em and paint them a bright colour or fluorescent tape if you play in dark cqb sites...spend many a game wandering around looking for them 😆😆

That applies to all impact grenades, except the Brey Tac Thunder B at least. They all rely on hard impact with a hard surface, otherwise you light strike the primer.

Get a reusable grenade - but understand their weaknesses. Over the years I have got through at least 6 boxes of the .209 primers (100 per box) and at least 2 boxes of 9mm blanks (50 per box). If I had done the same number of throws with £2.50 disposable pyro, I'd have spent over £1750 (if I could have got them at £2.50 each!). I now carry 2 on me all the time (used to carry 3!) and only use them per life - so once used I don't collect and re use, I only reload it when respawning. As it is, I have spent about £150 on grenades and about £75 more on blanks......I still have 2 ohshibooms I can sell on at probably £100 all in, so my true "cost" is around £125 vs a estimated £1750 it would have cost in disposable pyro and these are conservative estimates! I haven't had any problems with ohshibooms, but I (99.9% of the time) only use them on concrete inside buildings. The only issues I have had with them have been due to me not doing the base up enough. I had a trmr and really struggled to get it to work. I also had a dynatec time delayed one which was awesome as it could be skidded along floors etc. if you play woodland sites exclusively, I wouldn't bother. Using them outside is a nightmare - they're heavy so they seem to find the best hiding spaces, even moderately long grass can make you struggle to find it. They also seem to defy logic on where they go, get kicked etc so often aren't where you would expect. I have only had 1 case of where it went "missing" due to people and the reaction of the marshalls saved the day and it was found on a barrel, outside around 20 metres away from the building I had used it in. With the trmr I used both the original base and multi shot base and had problems with both - the main trouble was remembering if I had a live one in the chamber, there were several throws while a used blank was in the firing spot and you can't exactly retrieve it mid firefight. it was also bigger and heavier. The original base was frequently not screwed on enough, I don't know if this was me, coming lose while moving around, coming loose while arming it for throwing etc. but I found l preferred the simplicity of a pin, the simple 1 bang, 1 use, reload - if the pin is in, it's live and the fact the ohshiboom is lighter. IF I were buying new now, the Frag C would have my money.

Can it be adjusted still via the dust cover/ejection port, or do you need to lift the top cover?

The Quake 8s and Ohshiboom are notorious for being unreliable I thought. Whereas the TRMR design is considered the gold standard and very reliable assuming you're using it on an appropriate surface.

I don't know how much it costs but Tectonic Quake 8/Oshiboom BFG has better value simply because it holds more primers. I've got an oshiboom and it's amazing at least for indoor purposes. If I'm restricted to one shot I'd invest into Dynatec/SWAT VTG. At least those ones are always go off regardless the surface. Impact grenades have a tendency not going off even on hard surface let alone outdoor.

Another vote for the FRAG C here. One thing I like about it is that the safety can be put on and off with one hand and you can tell if it's on or off just by feel so you don't need to look at it (no idea if this is the case for the quake grenades though as I've never owned one)

I can't add anything much different. I've bought from one from JK Army and I gave my UKARA number and it came though customs without any hassle.

I remember a few very good halloween games, including one where a fully costumed Xenomorph crept up behind me and ripped my head off!, in a LARP kind of way of course! 😆

Not sure if I'll make any more Airsoft EM-2's - the pic. is of the prototype I've made - its cnc Aluminium and Walnut and took a lot of time/effort/money to create, and I don't think there's a lot of demand out there that would make it worthwhile. But I learnt a lot making it, and it did gain me the very real privillege of meeting with Jonathan Ferguson and getting to handle (cuddle?😁) several examples of the real thing. Worth it just for that!

Sorry I didn’t know

Literally just a TM.

Got a Romeo 2 off here and fitted it to the sand viper tonight along with a flamingo rubber. Decided to go with the full length shroud and waterproof extension now the weather's taking a turn for the worse.

A nice find. A brand new KSC SIG P230

It looks good however weight will be an issue and this is the same for the Quake. The Frag C is a better choice if you plan to run more than one as once you get to 3 or more it because quite a weight to carry but the Frag is much lighter and carrying 6 or more is about the same as 3 Quakes. The only advantage of the Jaeger or Quake is the multi shot options which isn't available for the Jaeger yet. The downside to multi shot is you need to retrieve the bang before using it again whereas carrying a few Frag's means you don't have that issue.

So, just to add. I've since had a few new pieces join the collection. The L130A1 This is the 7.62mm variant of the FN minimi. This system was only ever in use with UKSF/SFSG, and has been used for some time. These are usually seen with a TA01 with RMR, LA5 peq and a green LBT box mag. There are a few differences between the UK version and US version (MK48). GAS BLOCK/REG The US version uses the 7.62 type, while the UK version uses the older Minimi type, with even a MK1 type gas regulator knob. BIPOD US version uses the new improved style, while UK uses older type. RAILED HANDGUARD There are 2 US types. The improved tri rail or the older MK46 style over barrel rail. The UK version is similar to the KAC type tri rail. BOX MAG MOUNT Now I'm not entirely sure what this plate is there for. But the US version has a 2 holed plate, that sits underneath the feed tray. This is not present on the UK version. MARKINGS The US version has MK48 markings on the right sight, just before the stock. The UK version just has the standard minimi type markings, but marked for 7.62. My version is a Lambda defence version. Has a few things that need addressing A few holes left in the receiver from manufacturer. Clean up some of the rusty parts. Spray the receiver a satin black as issued. Try and source a green box mag, or try dying the one I have potentially. And to source a TA01 acog. Next up. M79 Some people don't realise, this particular weapon has been used by the British since the 70s in Northern Ireland, and one or two pictured during the falklands. These were later replace by the HK69 launchers. The British version came with a fibre glass stock. Not the wooden one issued to US forces. Most were seen using SLR slings too. Lastly. The L109A1. It's a SIG P230. This was sigs answer to the Walther PP/PPK & P5. This was issued to SAS as a concealed carry both on covert ops and for personal protection when in plain clothes. Other than that, not alot is known about this little pistol. There were also rumours this was issued to helicopter crews along with the Walther P5's. But the guys I know, who were in the RAF, only ever saw the walther P5's issued at the time. Mine is the old KSC P230JP version. Only down side, is that it's plastic bodied. But for a small pistol, is extremely comfortable. I'm really not sure what to do with this, other than leave it stock. As haven't seen any pics of issued ones to getting it looking authentic.

It'll be shite outdoors, that style of grenade always is. If you're playing indoors on hard surfaces, it should be fine.

Jaeger Precision has his new (TRMR clone) Impact grenade up for pre-order. I’ve been considering a reusable grenade for a while so this comes at a good moment to part me with more cash. Seems to be an updated and approved clone of the TRMR. Any reason not to get one? Price doesn’t bother me much as it’s a one and done so eventually it will pay for itself compared to single use pyros. Quake seems like the obvious competition but I subjectively prefer the looks of the Jaeger, shallow reasoning be that as it is. Not really interested in BB spitting alternatives.
