Dawn0303 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 is it possible to get p2 products like the MK9 thunderflash for use in airsoft games? i see them sold that way often but also with extensive mention of them being p2 products, was wondering if anyone does or has used them, or if its even possible to actually get them and how someone would Rogerborg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannonfodder Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Never heard of them but tbh you'll be hard pressed to find a site that allows players to lob mk9 thunderflashes around. Mk5 is the limit at every site I know of Rogerborg and Dawn0303 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sewdhull Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 If you have training you can use P2 category pyro, but whether and Airsoft site would allow it I don't know. Dawn0303 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Rogerborg Posted February 3 Supporters Share Posted February 3 Is this a serious question? "185 dB of sound pressure at 1m" That's instant, permanent, hearing damage and tinnitus, plus traumatic brain injury. Wanting to use one "in airsoft games" is a great argument for why you shouldn't be able to get your hands on one. Frankly, I'm not even happy with Mk5 bangs in game, given the foreseeable risk of one going off right next to someone's head. Mk 7 and above have a 20 metre safe distance, for reasons that should be ear-bleedin' obvious. John_W and Dawn0303 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you have done that, if you still want to use them, join the army. I have spent quite a bit of time messing around with serious pyro; no airsoft players should be allowed anywhere near a MK9.

Use as SFX by suitable persons under suitable circumstances can happen - but certainly not generally thrown around at a game A team mate had a ‘faulty’ Mk5 detonate immediately on striking, due to factory contamination * of the fuses & payload Luckily his glove ended up as the only casualty Pyrotechnics are explosives * Small print for those who know who we are - this was not one of our sponsors products Rogerborg and Dawn0303 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A typical skirmish day is full of kids and chucklefucks, and nothing capable of crippling the most vulnerable participant (shooting glasses and no earpro) has any business even being on site at all.

BreadyC Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 I caught a MK5 in my hoodie hood which someone threw over a fence which I was stood behind. It went off in my hood before anyone could get it out despite being jumped on by at least two other people I didn’t know. When it went off it burnt a huge hole in my balaclava, deafened me for the next two days and left with me a mild concussion. I’m good for idiots throwing even MK5s around tbh… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
