renegadecow Posted February 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Woot! They're finally out in Asia (EHobby). Will be getting one ASAP. Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted April 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Stocked. Out of stock. Restocked again only to find out EHobby only does EMS for it which is absolutely no bueno for me. Then I found out AI sells directly on their site, have regular mail as an option AND is even cheaper than getting it from HK at a mere $10! I don't understand exactly how they can do this assuming it's shipping from Canada but I do just hope they follow my request and not put "grenade" on the customs form.

Our standard procedure is to classify our shipments as autonomous internal combustion powered sex toys so as to dissuade customs agents from opening our parcels. Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted April 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 That... that's not a bad idea actually. It's about the same size as an onacup. And it even comes with a small vial of oil/"massage lotion". Link to post Share on other sites
Zereck Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Last weekend I have used my Cyclone twice on a game. The second time I went to pick up my grenade I noticed that the entire top part was missing. Found it later and got this: I have assembled the grenade correctly as it went off, so it wasn't a user error. Question is if I can get a new part or have to buy a new Cyclone. :/ Link to post Share on other sites

Zereck Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 AI has sent me a replacement part(and it was free this time) last week and already got it today. Good customer service there. Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted June 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 So I finally got my Cyclone (good old reliable Philpost) and it wont expel all the bbs. Now, I've done my research, it's either from a misaligned bottom cap or a cold grenade, but seeing as it's not from either of the two causes I decided to look more closely into it. As it turns out there's a small bit of flash, presumably from the mold if not excess adhesive when the parts of the main body were glued together and it was effectively impeding the bbs through the passage. Not the best of pictures being tricky shining a light down there, but you'll see my point well enough. It was easy to fix by just prodding around to break the excess material off but thought it may also be causing grief to other users and this information may prove useful for others and AI as well. Will definitely be investing in more of these! Now, if they only made these the size of Coleman propane tanks... Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 Propane sized Cyclone. That would be some carnage. Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted June 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 Ok, still getting leftover bbs, but only like 10-15 (as opposed to 40-50) which is totally acceptable. Interestingly enough, the Cyclone only holds 100 or so bbs if you fill them up as per the manual's instructions, less if you just pour bbs in hastily where some bbs don't stack up nicely staggered. You only get the full advertised 140bb payload if you also manually put bbs down the barrel. Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted June 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 One of the small tabs on my spoon broke off (glued it back) and read that the other tabs are also prone to break. Since it will be a while waiting for the spoon/pin/label kit, I made a polycarbonate replacement. Link to post Share on other sites
Zereck Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 So I've been using mine for a while and most of the time only half or even less of the BBs leave the grenade. I tried to remove all flashing inside but the one part the BBs still getting stucky is the exit tube. Not the very end but inside where it takes a curve so I can't really reach inside with anything. Don't know if anything can be done there. :/ Link to post Share on other sites

bankz5152 Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 I totally missed this. They seem cheap enough for a punt!! On my phone, my spelling will suck Link to post Share on other sites
Zereck Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 Welp... I have thrown it from the first floor on the dirt, but it managed to hit a single brick that was lying there. I noticed at once that the sound was different(a much louder bang) Im kinda unlucky with this grenade. Link to post Share on other sites
MadMax Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 Geez, we've never seen one break like that. Did you whip it into the ground? Hit up our support page. If you want to ship in the body for our analysis, we'd be happy to send you a new one. Keep the fuze head and end cap for spares. I want to see why this one broke like that.

tigerstr Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 Anyone handy with the maximum diameter of the grenade? Trying to find if it will fit some of my chest rig pouches Thanks in advance from this newbie Link to post Share on other sites
MadMax Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 Sorry, I don't know if this is too late to help you. The biggest diameter is at the lug ring: 2.1" Overall height: 4.6" We're carrying holster clips from HANN too. Link to post Share on other sites
