Good point, they should make some kind of shroud to protect the fitting. Wait a minute can you say.........upgrade?

Looks like loading is going to be a bitch. Pop in one bb at a time. I think the second video shows a white plastic sleeve which is used to retain the pellets.

Reverse engineering anyone?

Looks like a gas flow restriction based timer similar to what's in a Deepfire grenade. Allow the valve stem to rise and gas flows through an adjustable restriction until a pressure difference across a part decays and the valve body pops open releasing gas.

The pneumatics are inside the thick walled body (~6mm thick) which hold gas and perform delay function.

A mesh inside the body prevents bbs from falling into the body and rattling around.

A plastic sleeve with holes (a little less than 6mm) around the outside retains bbs so they don't fall out of the body (actually an array of 6mm long barrel).

A gap around the valve body and mesh acts as a pressure manifold which applies equal pressure to the backs of the pellets.

I'm guessing pellets are pushed past the sleeve individually (ugh...) so they seat inside the thick walled body between the mesh and the undersized sleeve holes.

look at the deepfire grenades. does anyone think its better than this

TheRealWaldo · August 17th, 2007, 19:04

Much less parts to lose IMO, only the pin and spoon. The others break into 4, pin, spoon, etc...

How can it be worst than a cherry bomb in a paper tube filled with bbs....

because that is what ppl use right now since there is no affordable "comercial" grenades...

I want at least 2, maybe more.... even if they are 100$ each... probably will be more usefull than my GBB anyways...
