MARCH 27TH UPDATE: NEW VIDEO POSTED!
Synopsis of new content: Setting your timer to the short
delay makes for an un-returnable grenade.
GRENADE RELEASING IN A FEW WEEKS!
Finally! A reusable combat effective airsoft hand grenade that kicks ass!
We've been working our butts off for the past two years to develop a reliable effective and reusable airsoft grenade that offers some pretty neat features. It's easy to use and bomb proof durable. Stay tuned for updates to this page over the next few weeks. Take a peek at our first product video at the top of this page! We'll be releasing more video content as we near our release date.
"So, how does the grenade work?" The Airsoft Innovations Tornado Grenade stores 180x 6mm pellets in it's shell in two spiral passages wrapped around it's valve body. Each passage exits on tangent to the valve body which causes the grenade to spin in recoil when it discharges it's pellets. Each passage exits on opposite sides and has a ramp which directs the pellets upwards at 45deg or 35deg downwards. As the grenade spins, the pellets transcribe two cones. Random bouncing on the ground opens up the scatter even further. We had special transparent polycarbonate shells made so we could show how our grenade stores it's pellet load which spins around the grenade as they blast out. The grenade is mounted on a swivel pin to keep it from running out of frame. The spinning action tends to make the grenade want to run around out of frame or out of focus. We shot with a a big f0.9 aperture which results in a very low depth of focus so we really needed to constrain the grenades spin to get half decent footage.
"I want to know MORE! Who can I ask for more info?" Sorry, we're pretty swamped gearing up for our first manufacturing run. If we get deluged with emails it'll slow us down. We'll be updating this site with more details as we near our launch date. Stay tuned for more high speed photography and pictures. We've amassed an amazing collection of highspeed videos which are being edited for release. Sorry it takes awhile to produce this web content and handling the manufacturing run has really taxed our dinky little organization. It cost us a lot in time and money to get really good high speed footage. We want to incorporate it in a series of videos that are really fun to watch.
