Hello, This is Andy Van Der Plaats with Non Lethal Training Munitions, LLC here in the US. I want to share some exciting news regarding our ‘Thumper TG 6’ Flashbang Training Grenade.
The Thumper TG 6 is the world’s first reusable, non-PYRO Flashbang Training Grenade. Instead of using the typical pyro fuse, ours unit relies on a disposable 8 gram CO2 or nitrogen filled cartridge to help generate a safe yet effective 120 dB report. Such cartridges, which are available almost everywhere, are typically used in either seltzer water or whipped cream dispensers.
To employ the Thumper a user first removes a clip, which serves much the same purpose as a cotter pin on a typical grenade. Once released the grenade is armed and ready to be tossed. Upon release, the spring activated spoon opens a small internal valve, which allows the gas from the cartridge to enter a disposable ‘burst diaphragm.’
Since the TG 6 is intended to replicate a Flashbang, there’s just a short approximately 1.5 second delay before the diaphragm ruptures, causing the report.
The diaphragm, which is made of light weight plastic, is extremely light weight. It is also designed in such a manner so that it remains intact once it fails. This adds to the general overall safety when using the device. Other advantages that come from use of the Thumper, include the fact that there’s never a risk of causing any fire, or explosion.
In order to make the Thumper even more useful, we’ve also designed an options ‘Trip Wire Booby Trap Kit’ for it. This allows users to transform the grenade into an effective training tool for those who might find themselves faced with opponents who have access to such devices.
Overall, the Thumper serves both as a great addition to any serious AirSoft players kit, as well as a serious training tool for those in the law enforcement and military communities. Here in the US, we’ve seen sales of the device to any number of law enforcement agencies, as well as to units with the Army, Coast Guard and State Department.
