I dont know when these were made i just know that they are failry old but im not 100 percent positive as i dont play woods/scenario but it seems to me that it is a design that would work better than current paint grenades, was also wondering if anyone still uses the design. But yeah just kinda stumbled ont it found it abit interesting and thought that i would share it.

| these grenades were fun (best guess is 8 - 10 years old), theres a gunpowder charge in there that blows the cardboard, paint and a pulpy mix of both outward. If i remember right, you would just yank off that white cap to ignite fuse. You would run into some that were stored on thier side of a long period of time and the paint would settle on that side making it a claymore that would almost always blow twards the dirt. Most fields do not allow them anymore. Great fun for a scenario tho im sure... You could even cook these nades and use them to airburst on people. |

you had to pull the cap off, and then pull on a string.

Last time I used one of those as around 1995-96. I had even forgotten who made them.
My personal opinion is that they were the best ever made.

I wish I knew the reason why they stopped making them. They were
more expensive than the squirter types (maybe by 2-3x). They also
may have been restricted to sales only to adults since they are a
variation of a firecracker. Only possible risks I can think of: Holding it in your hand after you
pulled the pin- Since it was too big for you to close your hand around
it, you wouldn't have overpressure damage like you would by holding
even a ladyfinger in a closed fist (DONT DO THAT KIDS!). So,
probably a bruised palm, and maybe (extreme possibility) a broken
finger or thumb.
Now, here's something to consider: Where did you get it, where do
you live? I used them at Magic Carpet Bob's American Canyon
Paintball, in northern California. I got them directly from the
field's pro shop, and I never saw them anywhere else (to include
I&I sports). Considering how fey people are familiar with
them, I suspect they never really caught on.Having one go off next to your head- as loud as a ladyfinger at best. ------------- M98C- W/QwkStrpCut Comp Air & Palmer Fatty Stab Gas-Thru Stock Lapco Sight Rail W/ADCO 30MM EDOT Qloader W/ CMS Freak SS W/Stif-Tip * Flatline * Armson Stealth |

I remember them.. the good ole days of paintball. I rarely saw one that actually worked let alone do any sort ot major marking... Just like the rest of the paint grenades out there, waste of money and more than likely a dud.
