Yu-Hon Li, S-Thunder’s Director of Business Development has noted that "S-Thunder’s new line of CO2 powered long and short barrel foam ball grenades offers airsoft and paintball players something ‘completely’ different to use in paintball, airsoft, milsim, woodsball and CQB games. With the ability to fire a variety of projectiles ranging from 33mm foam balls, foam rockets, smoke / colored powder, confetti and other projectiles, the foam ball grenade offers players a variety of playing options. The long and short barrel grenade units fit in any 40mm grenade launcher and with this, S-Thunder’s grenade can propel a variety of 40mm foam rockets available in the marketplace from most grenade launchers. This greatly expands the usage of these grenades."

Commenting on the growth of the company and its product lines, Yu-Hon also notes that "S-Thunder has gathered much media attention from magazine publications as well as internet based news outlets including Airsoft International (England), Take Aim (Ireland), Paintball X3 (USA), CQB Radio (USA), 0’20 Magazine (Spain), REDDOT Airsoft (Germany), Warsoft Mag (France) and interest for our products have been constantly growing as we continue to develop distribution networks in North America, Europe and Asia. We fully appreciate all the support we have received from the media and S-Thunder is continuing to develop new and never seen before items at affordable prices to help elevate the player’s experience and to grow the sport. Our next line of products being introduced will be a line of single and double barrel grenade launchers which are designed specifically for CO2 powered grenade use as we found that many grenade launchers in the market are designed for green gas / top gas / red gas rather than for high powered gases such as CO2. When using higher pressure CO2 gas, players will find that the trigger force required to activate CO2 powered grenades will be less and therefore reduce a player’s reaction time to fire the grenade launcher."

The demonstration video also features S-Thunder’s "prototype" Double Barrel Grenade Launcher which S-Thunder will introduce at the end on June, 2010. The exterior outlook of the grenade launcher seen in the video is an engineering prototype and not the final version that will be launched.
