If this thing is for real and actually works then MilSim games are going to get real interesting for ambush players.

I love this game, first the Torando, now a bouncing betty. One thing you can say about airsofters, we have a habit of finding a way when there is a want.

Looks good, but i'd imagine it'd take a while to fill with BBs

Masada

Looks the biz, id love to see on working in the flesh.,:)

There are video's of it about - unless they've added a better fuse system, the delay is WAYYYY too long for it to be of any practical use.

Which is a shame really because otherwise, it's a fantastic piece of kit.

Stercus Accidit

It goes off instantly.

It can also be set with a delay by filling it with oil according to the review.

Not just any oil. Motor oil. Castrol GTX.

... somewhere in a shop in Cabra V-Tec has just shivered with surreptitious pleasure.

Boru.

Yep. Instant detonation, or delay, though that can be tricky there's no clear guage to measure the oil/delay ration, though I have a fair idea of it now. Oh, I forgot to mention I have one - in black. It's very sexy.

iceage

Have we any idea of cost? Boru. did you spray yours? and how long to get these in? Thanks.

But this is no where close to a Bouncing Betty, or am I missing something?

aha - now this is new then. I checked on these a few months back and it never mentioned any such thing. just had a few demo video's.

if the delay is adjustable then i may just have to get me some o these!!

You dont fill them with oil, they are already filled and they advise not to open them, as for the delay, there is two settings, 3 or 9 second delay.
If this is seen to be advertisement please remove. I am just getting involved in the conversation

When first announced there was a lot of speculation about the time delay mechanism - mostly about possibility to be adjusted. Possibility of adjustment is there and it is simple and ingenious. You have to take apart the time delay mechanism and fill it with motor oil. Yes, you read it right- motor oil. Probably and motor oil should do it, but manufacturer specifies that 15W40 is best used.

Taken from the review. Note the highlighted.

Boru.

Sorry Hive,

Derek's right. The review actually states in the 6th paragraph third last line -

(as in our case - GM-1 came pre filled with oil, which we drained out)

As did mine. And the warning on the packing accompanying this did say not to disassemble the detonator. That said, it's not as complex as the tornado and presents no major problems.

To answer your questions iceage, Trigger is right, and the shippping was less than 7 days.

And trigger - there's no comparrison to a tornado. I have a few of those two, and while this can be thrown, as such, it's too heavy and could present a danger. There two seperate pieces of equipment, entirely. It's like comparing a sniper to an mp5 - they both shoot bb's, but they have different uses, rates of fire etc. I wouldn't use a tornado for a trip wire device, and I wouldn't use a tripwire device as a tornado.

Sod'o swords

All the youtube vids say 18 second fuse.

I got 1 of these grenades this evening of Derek in MIA;), I have to say guys this is the best grenade your ever going to buy:eek::eek::eek::eek: It's bloody awesome 360degree spread at speed, as soon as he set it off in the shop I wanted it:D:D

You will be impressed mate... in fact I'd say you'll just buy it straight away for this weekends skirmish;););)

FingalAirsoft

In fact turn it upside down when setting it off and it jumps up of the floor a few inches, it'll hit everyone in a room no problem... and I mean everyone:D
