We have tried a few of the disposable grenades now, the ball ones with bbs inside arent great as most were still inside the split body on the ground. The smoke ones are fun, and I like the thunder flashes a lot.

 

 

Note: I have had an association with Enola Gaye for many years, and they have sponsored our events, so I do have a bias towards them which is based on both their quality and their ethos

 

 

They conduct a lot of product development, Dr John of Enola participated in the drafting of many of the EU standards, and we’ve seen / taken part in his batch testing

(One of our guys was also blown up on camera by a different brand without the same level of QC on the production lines - no serious outcome thanks to his glove and eye protection)

 

I’ve never used their ‘new’ ball grenade of that type, and had used the early types of pineapple BB grenades - they weren’t anything special, but ball grenades perform a function (that I’m not interested in - I prefer a flashbang with suitable rules such as CQB room kills, though as @mrtea notes - ball grenades are rollable (the early models I used back in deepest darkest history were not rollable)

 

My real love is smoke. It’s pretty as well as effective (when used properly - which can get expensive)

 

You would like the CM75/SD75 - everyone would, but they are not for the general public and are not suitable for normal people’s wallets 

 

The WD40s and the EG18/EG18X give the right level of smoke for normal people. Their baby brother the EG25 gives just enough in a small package, not really for cover in a game but a nice amount of smoke in a tighter area that won’t disperse too much or as a small signal colour 

 

Bangs do some very clever stuff in the range, without needing to go to silly amounts of bang just for volume.  The mk5 as standard and some clever timing / packaging can make them perform very differently 

 

 

 

The main problem with pyro is the size of the wallet governing how much you can have
