Got Wood? Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 Hi guys, Are Alpha-tec still going? Looking at getting an impact and was really interested in the 6 shot reloadable. However everywhere but fire support is out of stock, and their website appears to be gone? Link to post Share on other sites
1st Commando Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 Yeah they are gone Link to post Share on other sites
Got Wood? Posted May 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 Thanks Commando. Makes it harder to choose between one of the Hex grenades or an Oshiboom now Link to post Share on other sites
1st Commando Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 TRMR or dynatex would be better than either of those Link to post Share on other sites
Got Wood? Posted May 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 Got the newer style of Dynatec still, just fancy something easier to re do in the field Link to post Share on other sites
Wingmann Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 Now that you talk about the TRMR, are the multi shot bases still available somewhere? Link to post Share on other sites

Flick me, I did not pay attention to the "multishot base" part, just the make, my fault. Also you might well try "local" (PARLA), if the guy is legit may have stock other than the single grenade announced or a way to get to. http://www.airsoftbazar.com/segunda-mano/anuncio/granadas-y-minas,7/granadasohshiboom,222905 Link to post Share on other sites

Got Wood? Posted June 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 Yeah, in the end I went for the brand new TRMR E1 Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 Alpha-Tec was owned/run by that Keith (?) guy who's been famous over the years for many failed businesses that have taken peoples' money and run. I wanna say previous efforts were something to do with PTWs and an engraving business. Link to post Share on other sites
Got Wood? Posted June 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 If I remember rightly there was a 2nd PTW tech trying to get some of Tack’s business, and I had one job from the Airsoft engraver but that turned out alright so I had no cause for complaint Link to post Share on other sites

However the guy from AT vanished and Keith kept manufacturing to fulfil trade orders for a while but then stopped . Keith was also the Airsoft Engraver Link to post Share on other sites

BigAl Posted July 5, 2019 Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 There is a new grenade coming on the market soon, aimed at the MIlsim / Training Market. Not connected to any of the above. Link to post Share on other sites

BigAl Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 For now yes, NDA is in place. lol Link to post Share on other sites
BigAl Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 Oh what the hell, have a few details: Construction : 6082 T6 Aluminium Weight : 305g Main Charge : Uses TLD Cartridge Charges ( MK 4/5 level to follow, along with a range of delays ) Primer : Cheddite 209 Primer Pull pin / fly off handle design 100% made in the UK Available in Black, green or blue Retail £85, Pre Orders £75 Space for Custom Engraving at extra cost Going into production as we speak, available soon. For further details contact : info@jtac-custom.co.uk Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 So you can just use a 209, but also use that 209 to set off a bigger charge? More realistic than anything else I've seen admittedly. I'd defo stick to my x3 TRMR because it's more practical for skirmishes but this is obviously going for the real world training user. Or people who think airsoft is pretty much the real thing.

thatguy404 Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 Pretty awesome for the "training" aspect. But the rest of us don't fancy wandering around looking for the spoon/handle Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 Oooh. Interesting. I might have to check these out pending further details. Link to post Share on other sites

For further details contact : info@jtac-custom.co.uk I've tested these and they will be an awesome replacement for Gr20s etc but I would say less so for regular BFG users . I personally would rather not have your average sunday skirmisher throwing them around Link to post Share on other sites

Or people who think airsoft is pretty much the real thing. You must have missed the TLD GR20 aggressor, that was extremely nice but had the issue of odd charges and primers pressed into brass caps that screwed on (likely due to being pistol primers) which from memory went off the moment the spoon flew off. It does look like they are still in production so presumably the charges and primers can still be purchased (how easily I have no idea) but the cost per use was a lot higher than Dynatex a BFG, and right there is the issue with any 'FG' without the 'B' when it comes to airsoft, I sold my GR20 before I ever really got chance to use it and bought an oshiboom and a second Dynatex BFG instead since I already had a few boxes of .380 blanks with more readily available from numerous shops. http://www.lesslethal.com/products/tld001-detail Link to post Share on other sites
