There is some cool stuff on the market to make games more realistic. Do most sites allow them to be used?
It is dependant on each site and whether they all BYO or site supplied only
(Once you’ve seen the cost of specialist postage required for pyro, you’ll find that you either need to live near to a retailer or use a serious amount - and deal with storage, otherwise buying on site is generally best)
In airsoft you can usually have reusable pyro, such as metal blank firing grenades - but they cost more to buy up front, you need to find them and will be restricted on how you throw them
I have to declare that I have a sponsorship relationship with Enola Gaye, they have supported our events since either number 2 or 3.
They develop pyro that is expressly designed for airsoft and paintball, plus they are in other ‘industries’, they fully own their products all the way from design, manufacture in their own factory etc and were also involved in development of EU pyro standards
Their pyro is available at many sites
