Habakure Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Bb's all over the mother trucker show. The more I think about these, the more fun the seem. Fishing wire and a spoon. Sounds like something from 'Five Nights at Freddy's'. Link to post Share on other sites
paranoiddroid Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 If it is going to be relatively cheap it sounds like a giggle, I wonder if they could redo their bang kit from the bigger brother for this thing. Link to post Share on other sites
Danke Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 The spoon is the most stupid thing ever, so basically everytime you toss it you will have go back and look for the spoon or buy *suitcase* loads of them which then in long run beats the objective of having a cheap grenade.. They did a lot of testing with users and the spoon was a must have. Link to post Share on other sites

hitmanNo2 Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 I forgot about their shotgun. No news I take it? Grenade looks pretty cool in high speed. https://www.facebook.com/zshot.inc/videos/939828346092214/?fref=nf Link to post Share on other sites

BioRage Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 DO NEED NOW. No news on my local retailer. IN RE to shotgun - no news, don't looks like he's working on it to main stream it any time soon . Link to post Share on other sites
Brigg Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 Last I heard about the shotgun is that he was working out how to do the gas reservoir and trying to work out who could be the manufacturer. The grenade though looks impressive. I'm going to have to buy one when theyre available. Link to post Share on other sites

Habakure Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 So, its spoon or nothing. Thats what I got from the post. Everyone likes spoons, dont they? But, this is airsoft and is likened to trying to hurde cats. There's always a few unhappy campers or critque for critques sake and you have to live with that. Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted December 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 -spoon or nothing or -tie the bloody thing down Or paint it in bright colors. Plus it doesn't fly off too far and it's not like any site allows long range overhead lobbing of grenades in the first place. Link to post Share on other sites
Habakure Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 He does mention that tying it down has been tried and that it either fell off or got in the way (his words, not mine). I like the spoon. I also like 'to' spoon. Spoooooooooooonnnnn spoon. Link to post Share on other sites
Wingmann Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Modify the spoon so it locks when reaching 180º, pointing upwards aligned with the body. That would keep the spoon hinged, it wouldn't impede the rotation and ballistics and it would be unlikely broken by the rotation. Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Vader Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 But isn't the spoon just another safety lock? The grenade still triggers on impact, so couldn't you just remove the spoon with your hand before you throw the grenade? Link to post Share on other sites
Siavash Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Tie spoon to grenade with fishing line. Done.. But tie it to what? Either way the soon still must come off! Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 He says lanyarding it would work, just having a fixed hinged spoon would get knacked really quickly with all the spinning and smashing against the ground. It would be fairly easy to tether it I would have thought. Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted December 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 He does mention that tying it down has been tried and that it either fell off or got in the way (his words, not mine). I think you're confusing it with the hinged experiments he's mentioned. "A lanyarded spoon almost always comes off in a way that doesn't interfere with spin very much and doesn't get bashed" Modify the spoon so it locks when reaching 180º, pointing upwards aligned with the body. That would keep the spoon hinged, it wouldn't impede the rotation and ballistics and it would be unlikely broken by the rotation.I don't think it's the rotational momentum alone that bashes hinged spoons but eventually hitting or landing on things whith all that torque.

Wingmann Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 I don't think it's the rotational momentum alone that bashes hinged spoons but eventually hitting or landing on things whith all that torque. Yes, I was considering the impact while rotating, not the rotation itself. Something portruding from the side would hit the ground at a bad angle, but not so much if it's sticking up.

Habakure Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 Yeap, you're right Renegadecow. This comment got me excited, till I got to the end of the sentence (think, hot lava in my pants excited. BANANA EXCITED):- 'I could make things with pushbutton fuzes like the the things Vasquez deployed in Aliens, but I get punished in the realism aspect that a lot of airsofters desire.'

Habakure Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 Engine manufacturers, that's a decent metaphor. I am saking from all these M41a ideas. Even got Shakin' Stevens on to emphasise the shakiness of my movements, in the shaky spectrum of movement of the water kind. Link to post Share on other sites
