Air-Soft Grenade Thingy

This instructable will tell you how to make an Air-Soft grenade thingy.

Step 1: Supplies

These are the supplies you need to make this grenade.

Party Popper
Plastic BB's
Bic Pen
Flat Head Screw Driver
Highly Maneuverable Gloves

Step 2: Taking Apart The Popper

Insert the flat headed screw driver into the edge of the popper and pop out the cardboard cap and keep it for later.

Step 3: Removing The Confetti

This is where you might want to where gloves to protect your hands, I didn't because I'm a bad example. Carefully use the pen to remove the confetti and leave the white cardboard alone.

Step 4: Filling The Popper

Now take your BB's and pour about 20 into the empty popper and replace the cap.

Step 5: Making Sure The Cap Is On

Take the back of your pen and press evenly around the edges of the cap to secure it into place. Then aim and shoot, and it scatters the BB's every where.

P.S. I am not responsible for any injuries.

I'm sorry, but this is nowhere near a grenade. I'm not sure what to call this, other than a tried-and-false idea that's been used countless times.

Aside from lack of originality and improper naming, nice 'ible. If you shoot only one bb out of a bic pen using the pull-string thing as the propellant, it works a bit better.

Almost forgot, for a *more* realistic grenade-type thing, check out the concussion grenade I show you how to make in my instructable:

??????????????????????????????????? this is the billionth time ive seen this idea!i!i!i!i!i!i!I

The Homemade Arsenal in reply to Airsoftmaniac1232 years ago

And yet it still is a piss-poor idea. Honestly, carrying a pocketful of bb's and throwing them is to greater effect.

dude, try removing the explosives from the pull string thing. they are useful for lots of things.

chopstx says: 4 years ago

how far do the bbs go?

singhjr96 in reply to chopstx3 years ago

about 5 feet. my friend made like 70 of these and put em all toghether then shot them at me during a macth from less than 10 ft away and they didnt even touch me the just rolled and fell out.

OMFG!!! says: 3 years ago

I jammed like 4 of the little pull bombs in there and managed to gett all the strings out the back. next i filled the open space with thumb taks (the casing cracked in 5 places, while the taks shot out and dented my wall!) !!!!

meanbean says: 4 years ago

I've tried this and im sorry but its awful. theres to much space in the barrel and the bbs go only about 5 feet srry.

darkpiggy12 says: 4 years ago

shadowsniper918 says: 4 years ago

pyroboytodumax says: 5 years ago

good job you learned to shoot airsoft bbs 3ft

Rednecker52 in reply to pyroboytodumax4 years ago

no its more than 3 more like 50.

Rednecker52 says: 4 years ago

the paper/cardboard thing in the bottom is required or it wont work. if you push it down tighter you will have a larger spread of bb's. lol i used stples once its like grenade shrapnel it shredded paper. :)

knoxarama says: 4 years ago

i wanted to make something like this, except it use plastic shrapnel. It used those little red and white fishing lures and when you push down the button, vinger and bakin soda mix, build in pressure, then blow up.

ThePorgemeister says: 4 years ago

nice, probably works better than the water balloons I've been using!! and to everyone else, that is google earth, and it is probably supposed to look like a grenade.
