potyexprora Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 I've just found out a grenade,3d printed and Mechanical countdown What's everybodys view on this?

That you seem to have a bit of an interest in 3D printing. A professional one, perhaps? Got anything that you want to disclose to us? My view is that it's a teaser video of a prototype that isn't available yet, might not be available ever, and that I'd never order anything directly from a device manufacturer again as opposed to buying from stock from a reputable retailer. On the device itself, it does appear to produce a spread of BBs unlike the Cyclone. However, it does't produce many of them and going by the video that the creator has chosen to produce, it has a nearly inaudible pop. So just like a Cyclone grenade it's unlikely to be noticed unless it goes off right at your target's feet, and sometimes not even then. I'd predict lots of shrieks of "PYROOOOOOO! CALL YOUR HIIIIIITS!" and grumpyface in the safe zone.
Supporters Druid799 Posted October 2, 2018 Supporters Posted October 2, 2018 Also feel it’s a very slick teaser video (bit too slick for me) of a one off product that’ll probably end up bearing absolutely no similarity to what they sell in the end ?

Quote we have to make the money to be able to refund people and continue to work on the grenade Translation: we need to take more money from a new batch of true believers in order to refund you treacherous heretics. Quote We're super close [again] so expect to see some photos of units being assembled early [in September 2018] <tumbleweed.gif>
Nick G Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 Rather unfortunate that it's got TAT printed on it ! Lol
Albiscuit Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 I dont like bb 'nades like this as there is no control over the direction of the bbs. What happens in the few seconds after deployment if you hear WEAPONS DOWN as the guy in the room has lost his eye pro? What is wrong with ones which go BANG?
potyexprora Posted October 3, 2018 Author Posted October 3, 2018 My view is, if the mechanical countdown is "Precisily" then i'll have a huge intreset in it. BTW i just can't say no to 3D printed stuff.

SLS with Silicon Carbide for example is stronger and more accurate (print resolution of 32 micrometres is achievable now with ceramics) than just about anything.

Yeah, but precise mechanical timing is still not in that realm I believe. And by precise I mean always between 3-5 seconds. If it's something that slides or uses pressure it's already too much influenced by lubrication, dirt, temperature and the couple of shocks from the impacts. If it's gears like in mechanical clocks, then the impacts, the spring power, orientation and it must be so delicate that I'd be worried about throwing it.

There airsoft gear set's in certain platforms that already used sintering as their production process (CTW planetary gears), and that is with less accurate tolerances than 32 microns.

To be honest bud I don’t think I’ve EVER encountered a B.B. grenade that had enough ‘umph’ in it to puncture a wet paper bag let alone take someone’s eye out !? ???
