ThunderB "flash"bang grenades with baby powder?

Postby Tactical.Monkey » Sun May 09, 2010 11:41 am

I was thinking about purchasing the Thunder B grenades. I was wondering if putting some baby powder in the shell would cause the decibels to be lower upon detonation?

It won't make it quieter. But it will be messier. It does look cool however.

Wack... what? Was he watching you undress or something?

Anyways... I'm sure the powder would be really stellar to see and all, but I don't know about you guys, but I would really hate to have that shit all over me... more notably my replica...

He isn't the smartest guy... Eventually he said he was to lazy to go to the bathroom (ALL the way down the hall :roll: ) and he thought he was being sneaky...

My other freind and guy couldn't disagree more with the "sneaky" part... How could we stay asleep with *fapping* noises in the backround? And it was my familyroom closet, not my bedroom. hehe.



And yea, I'd be pretty pissed to be covered in shit. There is a reason I don't play paintball.

Wow.


I think thats a good idea to put baby powder in it, lets the people you threw it at know the blast radious.

The baby powder radius is not very big, a few feet or so. Also, baby powder isn't like flour and such, it comes off really easily with a few smacks to your gear/clothes.

It's better in land mines, but the visual effect is still a head turner.
