bettyblue84 Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Something similar to the soon to be released EDD multi shot BFG, and cheaper. https://www.facebook.com/AlphaOneAirsoft Link to post Share on other sites
Azubi Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 From a laziness point of view, I do like the look of those, but then You'd just have people picking them up, clicking them round and throwing them back at no cost to themselves. Link to post Share on other sites

Its a trust thaang. Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Should be covered in the safety brief. No throwing back BFGs or ask to see if they want them thrown back. Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Me and a mate came up with a similar idea a couple of weeks ago while sat in his study. A multi use BFG using a TRMR style impact weight instead of the OhShiBoom style that the EDD seems to use. Link to post Share on other sites

I'd just load certain slots, that way you'll know which ones are usable and which aren't. Not fool-proof but would help. Let's say you loaded slots 1, 3 and 5. Logically someone picking it up hoping to kill you back would click it to the next number which would be a dud. After the first throw the opponent would have a 2/5 chance of getting the right one.

Azubi Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 I've got a load of impact grenades and unfortunately had issues with people not taking them as hits. I have since stopped going to a site due to repeat offenders backed up by marshals because they were regulars. Link to post Share on other sites
T3CH Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 I assume they'll sell the various caliber cylinders as well? If so extremely tempting. Dammit Link to post Share on other sites

People shouldn't really have the time to click and reload these if you have followed it in to the room after detonation. Link to post Share on other sites
FTZ-WildeCard Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 People using your kit shouldn't happen. You don't use peoples randomly dropped magazines, gas, BBs etc. Why should a BFG not be the same? Worst comes to worse, add an amendment to the brief. I see this particular point as a non-issue.

FireKnife Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 People using your kit shouldn't happen. You don't use peoples randomly dropped magazines, gas, BBs etc. Why should a BFG not be the same? I don't know, I have seen some proper pikey moments in airsoft. Though I did see one moment where a guy picked up a dropped magazine for an AEG M4, tested it in his own to see if it still fed or not by firing a few rounds to hit an opposing player then popped it back to the bloke that had lost it about five minutes after, explaining it to him that it still worked (it had dented off a stone) and sorry for using his ammo . Still this idea looks good but for me I prefer the one use types. That way I know if it is loaded after throwing and it can't be thrown back incase it rolls next to the one *Ubar* that every airsoft site seems to have (seriously, in every site I have been, it is 90% lovely people and that one *Ubar*).

Tw1tch Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 I appreciate the idea and am all for more pyro in airsoft but feel I'm drawn more to single load BFGs because that way I can deploy a couple in quick succession without needing to recover the grenade beforehand. However if I was going to rock a stripped back loadout with minimal kit this would be pretty sweet. Link to post Share on other sites
FTZ-WildeCard Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Guess I've just been lucky. I hear you Tw1tch and this was my first concern about these multishot-BFGs. So, I thought carefully about it and the conclusion I came up with was why not buy several of them? hahaha .. Would be very expensive though, but for ease of use and convenience it's an excellent idea (issues with suspect players aside). Link to post Share on other sites
Rob15 Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Are we all assuming the people on the receiving end were behind hard cover in a CQB situation? If they weren't then they probably shouldn't be throwing any grenades back, regardless of who owns them if they were in a room when a grenade went off and were 'hit', just as they shouldn't be shooting back. I also think that at a decent site it's a non-issue, it's possible someone might reload one and throw it back but it seems to be a case where all the stars would have to be aligned and you have a muppet that was behind cover, knew what type of BFG it was to go for it, know how it works and have time to reload and deploy it back.... This does look like a very nice bit of kit and at that price I can see it seriously limiting the sales of the EDD, I know I'd get this one instead but I think I'd want to know the dimensions first, one of the big draws for the oshiboom for me is the compact size.

bettyblue84 Posted January 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Yeah going off the picture it does look a fairly big Unit. Link to post Share on other sites
Azubi Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 No, I am assuming the person on the other end is a site regular in a room with no hard cover, or exits other than an open window with a 20ft drop to the ground. I've got 4 impact grenades, usually take out three on a normal run. The amount of times I have seen people not take them as a hit has left me somewhat pessimistic about it all. People slag off milsimmers, but I never had anyone refuse to take it at a milsim game, I only have these issues at a couple of supposedly well respected sites that I no longer choose to attend.
