Nope. Here are the grenade rules from NW5:
To elaborate, bb hand grenades are not counted as area effect weapons, which do have the 10-ft kill radius.

Sounds like a great rule. Except maybe instead of asking them to leave tell them they can no longer use grenades after they throw it wrong. Because sometimes people do things unintentionally without thinking and i think it would be a little harsh to make them leave because of it. Just something to think about.
Other that i love it. ;D

One, you just posted on a very old thread. And two, the people using grenades should be responsible enough to NEVER through them overhand. If they do, that sucks that they have to leave, but they will learn from the experience and never do it again. It's like having a guy accidentally shoot someone and saying, "Don't worry about it, just don't shoot for the rest of today, that will teach you not to shoot people." It doesn't work that way. Some people just don't learn from their mistakes unless they have to pay a price. Now some people do, but others don't. So we have to go with the lowest common denominator. (And yes that was a pretty bad example and a bit extreme, but I'm not the best with analogies.) Edit: I just reread my post and I sound a little like a jerk. I'm not trying to be mean, just trying to point out what is wrong with that statement.

I am thinking about getting one of these grenades from evike. www.airsoftpost.com/scale-fragmenation-airsoft-rubber-hand-grenade-p-30836.htmlThese are farely light at least they look light. so throwing them on top of a building say at the top level of a building at the city of SFOD would be bad then? just clearing everything up also, are either bb's or powder ok? because this grenade uses both. piper Immortal airsoft - birch run

I would image that you could use it at SFOD (SFOD would have to clear it first though of course) as long as you just kind of "toss" it into a second story window, as opposed to really throwing it.

Don't forget that it needs to have some type of metal core to house the gas.

yeah, i get the metal core thing. that's kinda why I asked about it. It doesn't really look too heavy, but if they just want it first story "underhand" only, that's fine with me. I just wanna know if I can use it or not, it would come in handy for sure at SFOD, especially against all you Tan F'ers. just kidding.
grenades are great.

I'm sure it was already resolved but I am to lazy to read it all. I agree with the rules first posted +1. But I also think that no flashbangs should be permitted. They could seriously damage someones eyesight so in my opinion the only grenades allowed should be pull-pins. No flashbangs permitted, only smoke and bb grenades. And no pyrotechnics.
Just a thought.

I don't believe I have ever seen a real Flashbang used in a game up here in MI. The rule is for the Madbull/Thumper Noise distraction devices that come in the Blue or Black anodized covers. (As illustrated below) Apparently those can become fairly loud if thrown in a small room and some may want guidelines for using them.

Well I brought it up because somewhere in this thread they were talking about it. I was skimming around and noticed it and thought I might have a say. As for the noise distraction devices I agree that some guidelines for those should be added due to the fact that someones hearing may be damaged. We have to remember to put safety first.

Those little things I linked above do not do ANY damage to someones hearing whatsoever when used like they should. I think that there really isn't any necessary rules that need to be made for them simply because of the cost factor. I have only seen maybe 2 people have these for messing around in games and neither lived in Michigan.
Now if you were to hang it from your ear like a pair of emo earrings, then you would prolly lose hearing in the ear for a while. But just throwing one into a room like your favorite uber-1337 SWAT team, is perfectly fine.

I would feel safe playing with them but I mean like no over-handing them at peoples heads you know. You cant just bean someone with one. Same rules should apply as for the bb and smoke grenades if you ask me.

I have to disagree with that point, only because of cqbr's easter egg grenades. Seriously, have you seen them yet? It's just a small firecracker inside an easter egg filled with bb's. Light the fuse and throw. The bb's come out pretty slow, and it doesn't have a huge range, but it's great in the city at SFOD. Plus, it's kind of loud so it's fun/realistic (not loud enough to hurt your ears though- it's a small firecracker...). Other than that, I agree that pretty much everything should be pull-pin. Though cold smoke is still better, and pull-pin doesn't always automatically mean there's no risk of fire.

I've used firecracker grenades before, when playing with a group of friends (about 20 people or so). I believe it that situation, where I know I can trust others to not throw them directly at people, they are safe and fun. However, I can totally understand why they would be banned at bigger events and fields, where not everybody personally knows, or trusts, one another. Not to mention firecrackers aren't legal in Michigan
