Madbul makes a landmine... doesn't use bbs for safety reasons (bbs fly up under the goggles, which makes sense)

Those landmines suck I stepped on one and I was covered completely with cornstarch.

Some of you may have already seen this, but on April 14, Airsoft Innovations announced a new Distraction Device kit for their popular Tornado Grenade system. It's a very simple plastic cap that turns your existing frag grenade into a loud distraction device at 110db. The kit costs $14.95 and comes with 50 blast cap charges, and the best part is that replacement charges are only $4.95 for a packet of 50. That costs about 10 cents per blast.

This is a great tool for teams who already own AI Tornado grenades who are looking for a way to turn them into simulated flashbang devices for CQC7.

milsim labs foam ordnance price: unknown.

I stumbled upon the foam ordnance site awhile go. You can order them as plain rounds or with the Active Impact System (AIS). They basically put a spring loaded device on the tip to set off a cap gun cap when it lands. Nice 'pop' from a hit and the possibility of the ordnance not going off. Prices vary from $5/$8 with AIS to $10.50/$13.50 with AIS.

I found this while surfing EhobbyAsia.

Pro-arms POM Gas Power Hand Grenade.
Comes alone or in packs of three.

To me, these seem a lot like the Snicker grenades, but look better made. They also don't seem horrible expensive.

Well anything has to be better than the Snicker grenades - I still cant get the damn things to time right.
I think the name has something to do with what the manufacturer doesn when he sells you one
There is a thread up at Arnie's about the POM grenades and I have to say that after looking at the pictures close up, the timing system looks horribly like the one on the snickers grenade (which of course, doesnt work)

I recognize that this is a bit of an old thread, but I figured that the Thunder Bs deserve a mention, as they've become pretty popular at SA events:

http://www.precisionairsoft.com/Thunder-B-Player-Package-p/thun001.htm

These Thunder B sonic grenades are pretty solid, relatively cheap, and they produce a very loud bang (usually around 130db, though if you're using really old CO2 cylinders it can be a bit less). Biggest issue I've seen with them is that the timing for when they'll go off after you pull the pin is not always the most predictable.

You can also buy shells for it that are shaped like the old Pineapple style frag grenades, though these ones in this package that are shaped more like a flashbang seem to be more reliable.

[Foxhound_1_SA]

Foxhound, you know if PA is going to be getting the new type of Thunder Bs? I just picked one up from a guy, and I'd love to get the better looking newer shells.

I'll get back to you on that as soon as I can, Welshy. I'll be going in to precision's warehouse to speak with Dees about a few projects on Friday when I get back into town. I can also check what they have in inventory at that time for you.

TLSFX pull ring pea grenade is what i'm tossing. Little bit of pyro with a satisfying boom.
They do spray out "shrapnel" in the way of dried peas, and run between $7-8 bucks a toss.
Frag out.

[Foxhound_1_SA]

Copy that. I'd swing by there myself, but I have no idea when I'll be up in Spokane next.

Sorry for the delay getting back to you on this, had to deal with the always entertaining HD Crash party... the joys of a 9 year old laptop, I guess.

Back on topic, the last time I checked with either of the Precision Airsoft stores (their warehouse that they normally operate out of, or the new store front location they run out of the Northtown Mall in Spokane), they had two packages of the Thunder B starter kits, which both included the newer style shells. This would be as of last Friday.

Beyond that, having spoken with Dees (one of the techs that works at PA), they are supposed to be getting more of the new style Thunder B shells in, though they'll mostly be in the starter kits that include the internal system along with the shells.

I use SportSmoke.com

They are great for that smoke effect and are made specifically for Airsoft.

Found this thread, appears to answer my question enough, but for the sake of others, I carry with me 2 spring Claymores from Evike. Heres my thoughts.

Cons:
They're big. And a little on the heavy side. No real packs or pouches to carry them in, though a Condor camelpack holds 2 perfectly.
The remote detonator has a range of 20ft-ish. Works around corners well enough though.
Setting them up requires a special moment of opportunity along with strategic placement, with regards to enemy movement and YOUR ALLIES.
And my personal favourite, you're leaving an asset out in the field, one in particular that pisses people off. Property damage and theft are real things to be concerned with.
They cost about 2x what I would expect them to. About $100 off Evike.

NOW THE PROS:
While being a little on the big side, they are easy enough to conceal when placed.
The remote detonator is good for indoors, and tripwires can change the way an entire team sets about their objective, making them timid of every step.
Good communication with friendlies can be all it takes to set these up properly.
Nothing makes me smile bigger than watching five guys go down pissed and angry because of a mine. It feels 10x greater than just shooting the buggers.
Maintenance is easy enough, in the event that someone kicks, tosses, smashes it. Someone kicked mine from its location (probably because I knocked out half his proud team with it) and all the pivots in the stand became loose and the limbs bent. 5 minutes with a hammer, good as new.

Then it worked!

these are the new grenades that i plan on getting for myself as well my store.
i am no longer using the thunder-b type of grenades because of their reliability issues.

http://blankfiringgrenade.com/

these are a lil on the pricey side: $150+
but at $.50~ a use and reliable timing as well as a 2 year waranty and avalibility of replacement parts, i think the cost is justified.
