Tj I think most of the responses have been constructive. Let's face it there are guys out there that would not use these in a safe manner. As the more critical responses have pointed out. Having said that it is always good to see people wanting to enhance the game.


Some were, yes. But there were also some that were not. But I'm not here to debat the politeness of this thread, one in particular upset me so I spoke how I felt. Playing with some of the individuals that posted here I know that they are good people so I feel like just leaving this thread where it stands is for the best. If and when these flashbangs become in my possession, I will bring some out and show some of the admins and Marshall's . No point in arguing over a product that isn't seen first hand right?

Hey Pantherprime I can't speak for the other clubs But as you Know LMAG has a "SAFETY MEETING" before each game. The Water crossing and Bio BB's are both brought up each week and are checked at the chrono. We have stopped guys that for whatever reason did not listen or pay attentions to the Forum and were not allowed on the field until the mags were changed.

I know for a fact that OTHER users. NOT ON LMAG GAME DAY'S at Panther have used Polystyrene BB's in the last couple of weeks. The Mag that I found was a High-end mag and No one at LMAG games in the last two months have used that type or brand of gun. I threw it in the garbage, who ever lost it doesn't deserve it back, they are going to wreck it for the lot of us :evil:

Part of what FM & Admins at LMAG do on game days is to make sure that we are all playing by the rules of the game and Field. At LMAG game days we will make a concerted effort to make sure all BB's that are going on to the field are Bio BB's.

I hope that loops is right and it was just an old bag of BB's or someone not thinking dumped some Bio's BB's into a smaller "OLD BAG" just for the day? :roll:

I still dont see the point in having or using them. They dont have hardly any smoke, the bang might eardrums if near enough to the ears when it goes off, how many decibels? And they aren't much of a distraction for more than a second. Regular smoke cans at least provide cover if used correctly, and do cause a distraction for about a minute.
A lmg providing cover fire on a building would be so much better if you were to advance while there heads are down.
And no offense Tjfast but there were 3 posts that said no, but you kept asking. With the players we have we should be learning more tactics and less gadgets at this point.
Some people think I am trying to be sneaky, its really that my eyes are not as good and I have to make sure its a tree and not the enemy! Trees do not call hits. I have shot a few.

I believe the main purpose for those grenades are for use against technicals (trucks ect) that would be an upgrade to the old nerf rockets and the smoke rounds for marking purposes for in game airstrikes or mortar strikes. Obviously these applications would only work in large open games held in more open terrain that could handle vehicles and have enough game control to spot smoke rounds.
