Another new bfg

[Albiscuit]

Dropped my pistol at Bunker 51 once, was found in my own spawn on the floor empty of ammo. Someone clearly picked it up used it and dropped it....

But the "Better equipped" quote, I kinda understand. I have been in CQB games with the opposing team having tonnes and tonnes of mk5s and it did ruin the gameplay quite a bit. If our team would have had more we could have countered somewhat, but in some situations/games/sites I think there should be limits on mags and nades.

Personally I think it should be slightly fairer than "he who spends more money" should always win. But this is a debate for another thread :lol:

Back to the BFGs in question. Me and my mates will be buying some but the idea of 6 of us having a 6 use nade every game does seem a bit overkill. Suffice to say we shall be using them sensibly and in the spirit of the game rather than chucking em through every door and frustrating everyone by clearing the site in less than 3 mins.

With the exception of RIFT Com3 the sites I've played out have made hard cover protect you from pyro kills. Basically what I mean is that they shouldn't be a guaranteed room clear unless: you play at a site that runs a everyone in the room dies rule, you don't try and use cover or the site in question has rooms that are 5 x 5 boxes with no cover.

I've seen plenty of situations where multiple bangs go into a room then the attackers bundle in and get rinsed by the defenders who were behind cover. They are good tools but blank firing grenades aren't like the BFG from Doom

If that was at the Malls - it might have been my mate Greg.

He's been known to enter a game with a pistol and dump pouch full of MK5s. Plus a set of remote dets. And his four BFGs.

Incentive designs have withdrawn their multishot grenade as a result of this one coming out.

has there been a "public" statement/release of this? can't see anything listed on their facebook page or web page?

I beleive CKinnerly on here got refunded his money from them and told this.

edit: On their FB page

"Our aim is to provide new and innovative products to the Airsoft community by investing our time and funds wisely. Unfortunately, we have been made aware of another similar grenade being launched shortly after ours, and at a considerably lower price. It currently appears impossible for us to compete without compromising on design or quality, both of which we pride ourselves on. Therefore, with regret and great consideration, we have decided to refund sales of, and withdraw EDD multi-shot BFG at this moment."

can you get these to do a 6 bang?

 

[M_P]

No, but that'd be a waste anyway tbh

I'd like to see a model which fires each chamber off in quick succession after detonation, just for shits and giggles

 

[Lozart]

Seems the Incentive Designs EDD WILL be going ahead (after a bit of a redesign) https://www.facebook.com/airsoftint/posts/10152721169397469

 

[Zak Da Mack]

I much prefer the other one though. At £110, it's quite expensive and doesn't look as good as the other one

 

[Lozart]

Yeah, I still like the double sided aspect of the other one.

A timed grenade with multiple detonations would be quite interesting. You could throw it into a room, kill a load, have some run and surive and return and then die 15 seconds later when the second shot goes off. That would surprise them! Its not very realistic however.

Multibangs aren't uncommon though. In real use as well as paper pyro.

You could always say it was arty dropping a shell on them every 15 seconds

What do you mean double sided?

 

[Lozart]

What do you mean double sided?

On the Alpha tec model the rounds are loaded into a disc that is sized for 9mm blanks on one side and shotgun primers in the other. That way if you want to change from one size to another you don't need a new part or (as in the case of the EDD) a whole different grenade.

ah I see, although with the EDD's redesign means you don't need a whole new grenade

 

[Lozart]

True. Price is still pretty high though....

 

[M_P]

... and ugly lol

 

[Muppetdaze]

LOL if you want some realism and fun at the same time?

Just find a blank fire sten gun, load 28 blanks, cock it, and chuck it in the window

assuming it work like the real thing, it's sorted 8)
