Airsoft Foil Grenade

I recently saw a tennis ball launcher that used aluminum foil as a one-time valve. They would pressurize the chamber, and when the pressure was high enough, it would break the foil and shoot. I thought that if you pressurized a small chamber with the foil sealing one end of it; then have a nail break that on impact and you have an impact-activated grenade.

So here's what we got:

The orange rectangle is the 1/2" pvc where the bbs go. The diagonal lines at the bottom of that show where the foil seal is. The blue rectangle with the red tip represents a nail, which is attached to the bottom yellow det-plate. The contraption is pressurized through the air valve (purple). At the base there are the two small green things, those will probably be small springs to help prevent accidental detonation. At lastly, there is the big gray rectangle, which is the 3" chamber.

Once I get parts for this I'll build it. My biggest concern is the seal where the nail goes through the pvc... Might glue a O-ring inside of the 3" cap.

For those interested, the parts list goes something like this:

1/2" x ~5" PVC Pipe
1/2" x 3" Bushing Reducer
3" Cap
3" x ~4" PVC Pipe
Air Valve
Springs
Wood
Big Nail (~7" long)

What to Bring to a War

So the big day is coming up, and you're just about clueless on what all to bring. Don't worry, I've been there before and so I've come up with a list. If I'm missing anything, comment below or email me and it will be added. Enough talking, here you go!

Ghost's New Gun

Well Ghost just got his new sniper rifle and he's really happy with it. It is a Remington 700 style rifle. The full metal guts are robust, and the cocking mechanism is light, especially for being a 400-470fps gun. It is lightweight, which makes it very portable.

Here's a pic of his gun:

And a pic of the trigger/bolt area along with his doggy:

What airsoft gun(s) do you have? Comment below and let us know!

Thanks!

Airsoft Sniping

Airsoft sniping – the position most people want to do. Sure you can have a 500FPS scoped sniper rifle and all the rest of the gear, but that doesn't mean you know HOW to properly be a sniper. I've been in a game where a fellow had a 500FPS rifle, but he was using it like you would full auto – running around, standing up, and then he wonders why he is getting shot all the time.

Being a sniper is two things, equipment, and a mindset. We'll discuss equipment first, and later take a look into the mind of a sniper. Ready to get started? Alright we're off!
