I have also seen a video where the owner of the company let's one go off in his hand to prove how safe it is. That ^ I would never do with a Thunder B. At best, I imagine my hand going numb. I would imagine it would ruin a good pair of gloves as well. I have had this happen with one of my Thunder B Grenades. I threw it and apparantly the hammer got stuck halfway down. After the game, a guy on the other team picked it up and threw it to me, which caused the hammer to hit home and a few seconds later it exploded right in my face. I was luckily wearing gloves and a full-face mask, but it hurt and my ears were ringing.

Thanks for your insight Tank. I guess the videos slow motion makes the actual explosion of the grenade itself seem greater than it may actually be.
So I'm clear myself. Those 40mm are of a similar design to the newer ICS ones right? I thought I remember them showcasing a series of these that matched a number of those functions.
I guess it would be something more up to individual field owners to decide on rather than some sort of blanket ban.

Also, having experienced these various grenades in person, I would like to point out that the Thunder B's are definitely louder.

These don't seem too dangerous. The 203's are a bit sketchy, and I wouldn't really trust others on the field with them, but they are cool and could be used against vehicles. I'd rather have a thunder B instead of those other grenades though.

If the shells of the hand grenades aren't hard plastic then they don't seem as bad.

Those marking 203 rounds are fucking baller. Def planning on getting some.

The marking 203 rounds would probably make some people very upset. I could not see somebody being happy that they got chalk or paint all over their cool guy gear.

That's why you shoot it at vehicles, not people? We don't even shoot nerfs at people, man.

I would think the marking, or dummy rounds, would be for use on vehicles. Again, I would agree that people will probably not like to have their vehicles chalked up, although it might wash off real easy. It could be cool for building hits too.
Edit: You beat me to it Rel.

I felt that anti vehicle projectiles did always need something like that. A nerf rocket or tennis ball is alittle hard to keep track of unless you just have a ref following the vehicle around. Not saying that people are dishonest but it becomes a he said she said game. With the chalk it's way more obvious.
As for the paint, I remember a few people talking about doing stuff like that when the Goblim Deuce came out. Didn't actually find out if anyone went through with using paintball ammo on airsoft field though.
Chalk I wouldn't mind but paint would likely piss me off alittle, especially if I knew that they chose to go with paint rather than chalk.

After having been one of those vehicles on the field, I can say that the chalk ones would make it easier to know you got hit. It's not always easy to tell when you've been hit. My only concern would be how much force would be applied to the vehicle. With nerf, it doesn't dent the vehicle, who knows if the chalk might.

Close range I would say those could cause a dent on impact. Somebody brought some of the exploding shells to No Limits, and they launched from the staging area all the way to the speedball field at a mild angle.

Are these grenades and 40mm rounds made in Russia or does another company produce and ship them for TAGINN? If these are coming to the states, I would hope that the newer TLFSX products will come overseas soon too. I have been dying to try out one of their Mk11's or Mk13's.
