lemon191 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I see this grenade has been finished and shipped to the first reviewers, it's taken years of delays and excuses (not to forget the people who originally backed them are still waiting). I'm not a backer but have watched their FB page for developments etc over the time and I really can't see how anyone would trust these guys to deliver let alone pay £195 for the pleasure. We see enough £80 TRMRs go walkies So I can't say I would be overly confident throwing one and hoping it's still there later. is anyone a backer that's still waiting or actually considering buying one ?

Maybe they should have integrated a GPS tracker in it for that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they were talking about putting a few measures in for security, one being it only works with the original charging unit/base but off the top of my head I don't know if they went ahead with doing that.

Just something like this, you could find it back at the safe zone if someone else 'accidentally' picked it up. https://www.gearbest.com/other-survival-and-emergency-gears/pp_265712.html?wid=1433363&currency=GBP&vip=18007797&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIzM7nnMv33wIVzZztCh0WvAi_EAQYBCABEgLlOvD_BwE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Rogerborg Posted January 18, 2019 Supporters Share Posted January 18, 2019 Context: http://mas-g.molyneux.systems/ https://www.facebook.com/pg/molyneux.systems/posts/ Having been stung by SWAT, and having dipped into the sorry tale of these things being developed, there is no way, none at all, that I would pay for one except from a reputable retailer selling them from stock. And I wouldn't pay that much for one either way. My cynical (i.e. realistic) prediction is that it's already vastly outspent the pre-orders, that there will be a very modest amount of new orders which won't come anywhere near to recouping the difference, they'll take many more months to be shipped (if ever), then that's the last anyone will hear about it.

That's mine and a friend's thoughts aswell, they may well make a good grenade but they don't appear to have any business sense at all, the price is going to be the biggest issue for alot of people. My friend sent me a picture of all the parts it's made up of and there is alot of them.. better hope it doesn't break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seth_Erebor Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Good design, in some ways. Not something I've looked at recently, but I will this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It tries to be every grenade that you could possibly want in any conceivable scenario. My experience is that having a grenade that you can deploy now is likely to result in grins.

Supporters jcheeseright Posted September 20, 2020 Supporters Share Posted September 20, 2020 Anyone wondering what Molyneux Advanced Systems have been up to while not producing people's grenades; https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=207462580993584&id=100198171720026 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stratton Oakmont Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 K.I.S.S i want an impact grenade that I can put on safe and ideally use several times quickly oh yes the trmr multi ticks that box i want a completely different shaped delayed grenade that is not impact triggered so I have options for most scenarios and won’t confuse the two, oh yes dynatex have that covered. what I don’t want is an overly technical, highly likely to break grenade that I need to check the instruction manual every time I wish to deploy it and probably get blown up by someone with a Cheap paper flash bang whilst doing so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The usual stuff on Facebook: rona ate my team-mate, moved house, been sick, put in sooo much of my own money, not my fault, who could have foreseen, etc, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zodgrod Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I managed to get all my money back a little while ago when the first round of refund were offered. feel bad for the guys who went in for like 10 of these, they're never coming, it'll be back to the drawing board when the prototypes get melted.
