yes yes... ive got my "thunder B" grenades in today... and they are looking pretty "promising"... i think i will try to wait till this sunday to touch one off for a demo at the start of the games... [cant promise that i can wait that long, but ill try... haha!] the guys at weaponblender said they were "LOUD", "way loud", and i also got a "friggin sickly loud"... LOL!!! they have a good look and feel to them... seem to be a fairly sturdy/strong firing "head", and the tube that the CO2 cartridge goes into is aluminum, has a removable safety pin [of course], and the spoon/lever is attached to the head so ya dont loose/have to look for it after use... the shell looks fairly good in either the "pineapple" version or the "flashbang" version... the "flashbang is a black "canister" with "soundflash" printed on 2 sides of the can... the "pineapple" shell is OD green and looks like a normal pineapple grenade... [what can i say?]... they are slightly smaller than a pop can... same height, just a tad thinner... but is a hand full none the less... i think these will be bought by others as soon as i set one off!!! haha!!! from what i see and have been told, i wont be puttin ANY BBs in these... just maybe baking powder... as the shells are made out of a kinda stiff plastic [but yet flexable], it doesnt fragment, just kinda splits up the side after the CO2 dumps its pressure into the shell... im excited!!! hahahahaha!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

well..... its official !!! im impressed with the "thunder B" grenades... i put 4 tablespoons of backing soda in the shell before threading it onto the grenade body... it had a pretty good "POP", and all of the baking soda was emptied out into the air in a cloud that was aprox 3 to 4 feet high, and about 3 feet across..... was a very cool reaction... enough of a "marking dust" to pretty much cover the inside area of a fort, and the sound WILL NOT go "un-noticed" if used in an "anti-personel" manner... im sure a player will call their hits with this being used... [well, most of them anyways...haha] im looking forward to getting more of these... [especially if we start building trenches/tunnels] hahahahaha!!!

So if I jump on the grenade before it goes off does that spare my teammates around me?

you wont have the time to jump on it or to pick it up and throw it back... and the way it splits the plastic shell, id say it would split your skin too... you dont let the spoon fly and cook it off!!! you throw the whole thing and it still goes off in a couple seconds... seemed like it went off by the time it settled down and quit moving from throwing it... not much time at all, but enough to throw it a ways and for it to be effective...

[especially if we start building trenches/tunnels] hahahahaha!!! a 3-4 ft "cloud" would be ideal for when eliminating those inside a base. but if they were used for anti-personel purposes it may be more difficult in the woods..then again i haven't seen them in action so i really have no idea if what I'm saying even applies lol

basicly, it would be "marking" the position where it went off... and a 10ft blast radius from that would be considered a kill zone... so, if you hear one of these go bang, and you see a white cloud near by... you've just been blown up...

well.... i believe that if a grenade IS thrown into a fort, or a nerf football from a M203 grenade launcher goes inside... the fort is cleared... should "hitting" the fort with a grenade launcher "take it out", or should we make it so it has to land inside? what do you think?
