Supporters jcheeseright Posted December 5, 2013 Supporters Share Posted December 5, 2013 Too big, that's for dynatex style timed grenades. Use a 40mm grenade pouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeky vimto Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 I've ordered one. I measure the oshiboom and it should be ok. It should slide in with about a centimeter sticking out the top which is what I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters sp00n Posted December 5, 2013 Supporters Share Posted December 5, 2013 well i can confirm that osprey smoke grenade pouches are too big, and it is possible for an ohshiboom to fall out . i have a bid on 2 osprey 9mm pouches atm though as i am pretty sure they will fit, as on my last skirmish i tried a mates, i think it was osprey, and it fitted quite snugly, but i will know more when/if i win the auction and have tried them.

Supporters jcheeseright Posted December 5, 2013 Supporters Share Posted December 5, 2013 they shouldn't fit in a 9mm pouch, too wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheeky vimto Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 I tested the shake test myself today. I put on a welding gauntlet, pulled the pin and shook the hell out of the ohshiboom. I was really impressed, it didn't go off. The guys who designed this are brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll let you know how I get on with the one I've ordered. I'd rather it be a bit too big so it's easy to get in and out than too small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, that said though too big is bad, you don't want to loose it won the auction £3.20 (plus £3.20 delivery) for 2 9mm osprey pouches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

two_zero Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I keep my guitar picks in a Kendal mint cake tin, so I've used that. I've lined the tin with the foam padding that the ohshiboom came in. It keeps the primers loose so they're easy to pick up with gloves on and the tin protects it from shots. I now need a new pouch for the tin! think I will definitely copy your idea on that one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Ian_Gere Posted December 7, 2013 Supporters Share Posted December 7, 2013 length of paracord... you could make that yourself in about 15 minutes for 20 pence! I know i couldn't make the knots anywhere near so neat without a fair bit of practice 1st and even if i can find the 3 different clips sold in ones, once the postage for them goes on the bill, that's 1/2 the price of the ready made even if i could get all the clips from the same place. I'm well up for making things myself and I'd cheerfully come up with something if/when I get a BFG, but it wouldn't be so gucci looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheeky vimto Posted December 7, 2013 Author Share Posted December 7, 2013 The grenade pouched from flecktarn arrived today. They fit really well, especially with the extra large keyring I put on the grenade. The only problem is I ordered 2 of them in the wrong camo...

springs Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 the only problem i have with velcro pouches are the noise they make when you open them. when your trying to hide and not give you position away its not easy trying to get one of these out of a pouch quietly. I'm waiting to receive a grenade holster from America and hopefully it will fit my Oshi's without a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeky vimto Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 I was waiting for my new plate carrier to arrive before I put my new pouch on. Although it's the wrong camo, you only really notice close up as the Velcro covers up pouch. Glad I bought 2 for my next BFG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters sp00n Posted December 11, 2013 Supporters Share Posted December 11, 2013 i can now confirm that osprey 9mm pouches are too tight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters M_P Posted December 11, 2013 Supporters Share Posted December 11, 2013 That's what puts me off oshibooms, you'd think that when they were designing them that they might have thought that people might want to put them in pouches and designed them so they'd fit most normal grenade pouches.

Supporters sp00n Posted December 11, 2013 Supporters Share Posted December 11, 2013 i have ordered a 40mm grenade pouch (http://www.flecktarn.co.uk/mctop3nx.html) , that should fit fine (being the ohshiboom is 38mm x 117mm) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Ian_Gere Posted December 11, 2013 Supporters Share Posted December 11, 2013 At 116mm x 38mm they are made to fit perfectly into 40mm nade pouches. As James said. On the 1st page. <= As sp00n pointed out to me, this is wrong: it wasn't on the first page, it was the previous page. Apologies for posting while 1/2 asleep.

A week ago, since then you lot have collectively spent enough money on useless pouches to have bought another grenade! for an Ohshiboom or a SWAT BFGx or Dynatex impact THIS is what you need: http://www.flecktarn.co.uk/sdtop3nx.html They are a PERFECT fit, because they were designed to be the same size as a 40mm grenade, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
