TKOverKill

There actually is a gas + balloon operated bang device by Escort, but I'm not too sure about their effectiveness.

The VFC/Maple Leaf retail price is about the same as the AI, but there's a good deal here for 8k:

how about this http://www.airsoftworld.net/new-products...-pack.html

Thanks Tobo! I saw footage of this on YT, gives a nice bang. Surprisingly cheap when it's of a similar design compared to the madbull.
Edit: Nope! These thuder B grenades are quite different in design compared to madbull flashbangs.

But, do you think it'll be kosher with field owners here in Japan?
The flashbang flies when it goes off so much to the point that it becomes a darn projectile....

At Seals on the Wednesday games, they allow me to use firecrackers. No kill radius or anything, but its really amusing. People get scared very quickly!

Really?! I thought the Japanese airsoft community was overwhelmingly safety-obsessed

Does anyone know about IBF and/or battle city union and/or Irene's policy on airsoft grenades?
