German Stick Grenade Solution

[2ndranger]

Ive been playing around with the idea of a reusable or disposable airsoft/reenacting grenade. It was given its first test run today with Great success! I have no video and I apologize as right when I was switching to that setting the string was pulled... , so i had to toss it or get blown up with it. But i have some photos of before and after. Please keep in mind this is just a scratch build to make sure the mechanics work, the details and looks can be worked out later. I will bring a few for people to try at the All forces day in June! Hopefully I will soon be vending them. Although I still want to try my all cardboard design. This one was Wood/cardboard.

How to make a..uh...massive tampon? ;D

No but seriously, looks real good Franz. 4 for $5 cant be beat! A quick sprayover of paint and that will be nice looking. I'm a fan.

Just remember, it's gonna blow up, fancy is pointless.

This is awsome, so now that you have made this...how about a pineaple grenade for the allies hmmm lol

Haha, thank you guys for the kind words! Im going to keep on tinkering on the firing mech, I tried again...and the string snapped. That could be a problem in the heat of battle. But keep in mind this is made with a dowel rod and some old cheez it boxes! They didnt teach ya that in boy scouts! ;D
