hitmanNo2 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 The new Torc Precision SF-DI impact grenade has been available for a little while from Bespoke Airsoft but advertisement has been poor and from what I can tell, no proper videos of it being tested except from a couple of seconds long video showing it going off from a 170mm drop. Anyone bought one yet? It seems a bit steep at £95 for a .209 banger https://www.bespokeairsoft.co.uk/sf-di-sound-flash-device-impact-209-primer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it will get really old really fast. Better off with a dominator or a trmr if you can get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just like the form factor over the dominator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It goes bang then? Costs more than a TRMR, has a bit that you'll lose or break. No thanks, unless TRMRs really have gone out of production.

Musica Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I like the idea of it. Wish they had made a loop to tie the spoon on to the base with as looking for 2 things is pish. I feel like they know the current market issues with the popular TRMR and priced accordingly. If it had a multishot base I can understand the price but I don't believe it can as it has a pin/spoon system to worry about on reload. Needs to be cheaper and so does the "tactical" deploy pouch for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha. I didn't read that. What a load of twaddle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Rogerborg Posted December 12, 2019 Supporters Share Posted December 12, 2019 I've just watched the video, and, wow, that's a tough sell. Three bits to lose, including the pin. "Fastest deployable" is a bold claim. For the "fast" deploy with pin retention you need to use the £65 - sixty five pounds - holster for your £95 banger. I make that £160 per grenade, right? And then you need to trigger not one, but two separate mechanisms before you can pull it. Which he demonstrated while looking at it in front of him, with bare hands. OK, now do it by feel, with gloves on. And that's if the pin comes out cleanly when you pull it. OK, you've managed to get it out. Assuming you haven't been pewed while fiddling with the catches, what if you you decide not to throw it? Or you have been pewed, and you need to put it away. Go on, disarm it and put it back. How are you going to get that pin back in, gloved, probably by feel, when it's on such a short cord? Then fasten both retention clips, again by feel. Same pin problem with a Dynatex, but he's comparing it with a TRMR, and that's twist to arm, and importantly twist to disarm, job done. I get that it's been designed to minimise the chances for accidental discharge, but... why? It's a .209 popper, not a magflash. It's not usable as a proper real-life-or-death distraction device, it's a training device. So it's really not that big a deal if your .209 pops off when you fumble it. I've self fragged with a badly thrown TRMR, but I have never, not once, ever, accidentally set off an armed TRMR in my hand. tl;dr version - a really expensive way of solving problems that airsofters don't have, while introducing a whole set of new ones.
