I’ve only used disposable pyro before, but I am in the market for a reusable grenade now I’m starting to do more cqb. I’m thinking about getting a TRMR is this worth while or is there a better alternative?

 
I've used both a BFG and now the TRMR, it's a lot easier to use the TRMR but you gotta use it in the right conditions, as some outdoor sites the ground may be too soft for reliable detonation, if you don't mind that then the TRMR is a lovely bit of kit and the primers are cheap as anything, but if you can't possibly cope with missing a potential kill then a BFG would be the better choice, also feels a bit safer rolling a BFG down a corridor than the TRMR, just in case you get the release height or trajectory a bit off and end up prematurely detonating haha

 
Indoors: TRMR, ideally with the tri shot base.

Outdoors: Dynatex timed.

In either case, bought from stock from a reputable retailer.  The SWAT VTG (a Dynatex copy) is currently being made to order on a schedule that suits them.

Was thinking of getting TRMR for indoor cqb and building/structures at outdoor sites and stick to mk5’s outside

It will work outside, don't get me wrong, but if the mud is too soft it might not strike the primer solidly enough, but it will be perfect for indoor and in structures

 
Also a +1 from me for the TRMR and the good old Dynatec both are a nice bit of kit .

I also find the TRMR can be a bit ‘iffy’ out doors but I’ve also got an oshiboom and even though it’s an impact as well I found it’s not as temperament on soft ground , which is good !  ;)

just acquired an AlphaTec 6-shot so be giving the at a go at my next CQB day . 

 
I’m going to try and order a TRMR from somewhere, thanks for all the replies

Jealousy intensifies.  That looks like a brilliant idea in principle.  It's a shame that they gave up on it.

Have they ? Didn’t know that , that’s a shame as yes is a good idea .

Picked 2 up for £100 of a chap that was unfortunately having to give up S’ofting , also picked up a very nice TM 226E2 , 2x extra mags , tac light , safariland holster ALL in a very nice little hard case for £150 ! Sorry to profit from someone else’s misfortune but gift horses and all that ?

Seems so.  Their Facebook page hasn't been updated in over 2 years and the comments are just folk saying "Where's my grenade?"

Sadly their web site is still up and will cheerfully take your money, promising "same day dispatch". :(

 
Well fornicate ! That’s bit of a poo to say the least !  :angry:

 
ISo these were really one of my big motivations for Airsoft. Love anything that goes "BANG!"

I have the Dynatex BFG Timed and the Impact versions. The Timed Grenade has a tonne of uses and the Impact has different scenarios where it should be useful but the first time I used one in skirmish i pulled out the Impact and it landed in soft mud which cost me a trip to respawn. Was gutted as I landed it within 5m of pretty much the whole enemy team!

I have had a few kills with the Timed Grenade now and I love it.

I managed to buy a Tornado Grenade which is a whole lot of fun and has a Burst Function too but this is too fiddly to rearm in the field. I will end up buying another Timed BFG!

Only issue it that they need to be thrown underarm at my regular site so you dont get the range.

I'm starting to get regrets about not throwing another Dynatex timed into the ZeroOne order I've just made.. ;)

On holsters, it really is very simple to DIY a grenade holster from a sheet of 2mm eBay kydex.  Just make a card template, cut the kydex to match, warm it in an oven, wrap it around the grenade with a towel, and wait for it to cool.  It's lovely stuff to work with.

 
And further to this fine chaps assertion of how easy it is (and it is !) , here’s one I knocked together last night ! 

Only diffrence is I use a hot air gun and welders gloves to heat and manipulate the kydex .

I must admit, I'm kinda dubious about using nades. I've seen enough airsoft fail videos watching twats lose their fingers. I have no clue how to use mine and I'm not sure I like the idea of it going off in my pocket or hand prematurely.

 
Oh my BFG has went off in my hand multiple times. I'm well practiced at killing myself in Airsoft  :lol:

It's just loud and it's a sorta pulse feeling when it goes off. I suspect if you are silly enough to hold it by the top and cover the vents it might burn/sting a bit. But you really should never hold it that way anyways

Sure, a BFG just bangs and spurts a bit.  I've had one go off under my groin while crouching in a tower, and very little got blown off.

I mean... nothing got blown off.  Not that something little got... you get the idea.
