So testing today went really well!
Everytime I threw it into a room it was greater with a "Fuck, run, Grenade" and a few "wait, WTF was that"
It was definitely loud enough that it could be heard inside the room and from outside so you knew it went off and the fact it was reusable just by picking it up, pressing the button and throwing it again made clearing rooms a breeze
The only downside was as I printed the shell at 20% infil the threaded part did snap, which was fixed with tape to continue but I only printed this case as a test to fit things in, so I'll print the next one at 100% infil so it's solid and the design will most likely change to incorporate the final internals
One of the buttons took a beating so I'll design it to be more sunken in and flat so it doesn't take any damage but I wasn't light with it I was hurling it around doors so to last a whole morning was a good test in my eyes!
I also wrapped it in door frame sticky foam (draft excluder foam?) and electrical tape so it's softer and obsorbs alot of impact

Adding to the general "this looks really cool" crowd. I like the idea a lot, so much so I now have a new "saving space" in my account.
I would like to see the glow in dark standard.... Size is good as well. It is far too easy to lose a "quake" style in a woodland.
Thbaks bud!
After making the prototype from parts the next mission is to source the same internals for a decent price and have them all shipped to me

I like this a lot, no messing around with primers, you can use it as many times as you like and there's all the customisation you could want from a grenade. Hell you could even have CQB / outdoor volume settings which would overcome my reservations about grenades & indoor spaces.
Could you not have some lights on it that start flashing once the audio has finished and then stop on whatever reset method you have? or an audible beep, or both? That would certainly help in finding it.
It's certainly something I can look into, adding a beeping sound after a few minutes would be easy as its just an mp3 file

The MK1 doesn't do much for me. If it had a delay then boom sound (white noise) for a few seconds it might be worth pursuing in my view.
But the MK2 definitely has marketable potential as long as its priced right and up to the point a certain country makes a cheaper copy...
My input would be if you could give it a thin rubber/neoprene outer to protect it and the victims. That would help it being accepted at sites (most allow rolling BFGs and dropping through windows)
Great minds I'm currently trying to fit it inside an inner tube 😂
It's not going well

Yeah the first one is just annoying, but the Mk2 definitely has the potential to be considered a timed "grenade" of sorts, especially useful for those urban sites that can't have any form of pyro ?
I think I've figured out how to make the mk1 play for only 10 seconds also, I wonder if that will be ok
-
Well that was the thought, you could record your own bang sounds so it would be the same as a reusable grenade

Yeah the mk1 does seem to be annoying but it's where I started the idea
Yes you can record your own audio up to 10 seconds

Will you be bringing these to market before or after the Molyneux MAS-G?
They've had 8 years to make theirs, I think their customers would be happy to have one of my mk1's than carry on waiting 😂

These are amazing pieces of work: I look forward to seeing them used one and then banned at my local sites.
I can see mk1 not being very popular but what about Mk2?

If anyone has followed my previous posts on other social media you'd see I made a distraction greande this week which is basically a personal alarm inside a 3d printed shell I designed, it's cheap and cheerful, won't break the bank and it bounces (Printed in PLA which glows in the dark and TPU for a more friendlier rubber effect) , I thought it was a great idea and I'm going to test them out this weekend, the only concerns were the DB levels (which I've now got down to 87db from 114db) and that it would be continuous untill its turned off but nevertheless it should make for a good distraction once thrown into a room on a normal skirmish day and people wonder WTF that thing was that just went off and as they look around you breach the room and attack 🤷♂️ (see video below)
So this got me thinking about making another grenade, my Mk2 version which I've not seen in the market before
This one will have a rechargeable battery via USB, an on/off switch and an armed button, you'll have a speaker and the ability to record your own sounds on it for 10 seconds, so you could have 5 seconds of silence once you press the button (primer/fuse) and then 5 seconds of multi bangs sounds, or you can record a voice that says something stupid like "they are coming from behind us" which might make some stupid people turn around
Or you can have something silly like this 😂
But it's something I'm currently developing, I only had the idea on Sunday and by Wednesday (today) I have a working mk1 prototype and the Mk2 version should be ready by the weekend, at the moment it's a little quiet at 0.5w but I'm adding an inline amplifier this evening which should bump that up to 3w and also designing a grenade housing for it to all fit into
Any feedback so far will be greatly appreciated

Picked up a CA53 from @VonGrimm and he was very honest in his description. After a bit of work she's looking a bit better. Just need to sort out the gearbox issue once the part arrives and I might replace the CA Mosfet with a NanoAAB I've got here sitting doing nothing.

After:
Based on a HK53A2 I fondled in Iraq belonging to the RMP CP teams. I also took a bit of time and gave the XM177 PTW a bit of a service.
Damn you I was going to get that 😂

Skills^
Do you do 3D design for a living!?
Your distraction device reminds me of the tactical rubber chickens we used to use at a CQB site 😂
No mate I'm a Watchmaker, just dabble in making stuff that I need

Still a long way to go, printed the first attempt in PLA to test sizes and had one made in resin to also test, still definitely in the beginning phases

Been working on this rheinmetall lm vampir peq box as no one seems to make one in airsoft and its for my new KS-1 Build
Currently in the phase 1 of testing sizes and diamentions and going to be fitting the guts of an LA5 inside it
Last photo is the first attempt on my KAC
Also working on a sound distraction device, insert a particular "personal alarm" into my shell, press the button, throw it in a room and watch everyone wonder WTF is going on as you breach and shoot them all

Dont see why not I think the majority of the changes were in the grip but I could be corrected

Correct it's purely to buy and import not for ownership

So I'm making my own grenades...
