hopefully us preorder folks will have ours shipped out shortly? (well the full paid ones like myself i mean ^_^)

Well I was thinking people who bought any would get them shipped out shortly. But maybe he;s behind in making them? Who knows. It's shitty if I paid for them now and don't get them for a month!

Since they're awesome I'd wait though.

Hey I have an Idea.... rather than public idle speculation Why not contact him direct?

I'm not the one asking about it.

I gave my pre order payment at the TAC-08 Convention, Got mine in the mail today. Actually just opened mine a few minutes ago. I love you Carl....

Grenades that were ordered by 1pm today got shipped out. We seem to be able to make a 1pm cutoff for grenade and adaptor orders even if our shop is becoming a mess of packaging and grenade parts.

We're behind on shipping confirmations, but at least the physical stuff is getting out the door.

nice

I ordered 2 last night.

Hell if mine is already shipped out, I don't care about a shipping notification! Yay!

Now get back to those grenades Carl! :D

I am a sad panda that I didnt get a shipping notice so I cant hit refresh all day at work but terribly excited that it should be in any day now! ^_^

::hoping it will arrive today::

Carl now that you've launched your grenade, you should make a smaller version that launches out of an M203!

It's in the works, but R&D is backburnered to handle this current launch.

First job to tackle is determining the maximum acceptable (safe) weight and speed of a 203 launched slug. Once those properties are determined, I have to see if I can shoehorn a grenade into that size and weight.

We're going to put as many products under the same patent umbrella as possible.

hey carl, would you happen to be planning on making an appearance tomorrow night at area 51? or plan on making appearances at local-ish venues in the next little while?

I have some AI grenades, they will appear on Carls behalf at tomorrows game :P and when everyone is getting pissed off for being pwned by them I can blame carl cuz he sold them to me :P

Just wondering, maybe this has been asked before. For Carl or someone who has directly heard from Carl, I assume it's OK to underload the grenades right? Like half BB's (90) etc?

Also in that case, would you get a higher FPS?

Short loading doesn't appear to present much of a danger. The grenade is designed to prevent overblasting a shortload or even single heavy pellets to very high velocities.

Still, short loads kind of suck. The pattern will be a lot less dense and you'll find that the scatter may be less even because the grenade may only rotate a partial turn before depleting the pellet load. In the vids, the grenade only seems to make one or two full rotations before it's out of pellets. A partial spin could have the grenade blasting out bbs in two sectors.

Imagine Rambo with twin Mac11s twirling in a room surrounded by baddies and his guns run out after he makes only 45 degrees of turn and they make full auto clicking sounds for the rest of the turns.
