Hi, this is my first Instructable and it is a fairly simple recipe for making an air soft grenade, you will need: Baking soda, Vinegar, a Ziploc bag, scissors, a spoon, air soft bbs(optional) and a water bottle preferably a thin one such as crystal geyser or nestle pure life, also I recommend eye protection.

Any type of vinegar should do, i recommend a thin plastic water bottle such as Crystal Geyser or Nestle pure life bottles.

Awsome job! I have been experimenting with conifer and bakeing soda for a little while. And did not get the bottle to explode yet. Just the cap came of. How do I get the bottle to actually breach and explode?

What is the fps. I'm not sure about it but that grenade looks pretty good. I'll try to build it.

i do that and you want less vinegar and more baking soda

does it have to hit a hard surface to explode

do you think you could do this with a smaller bottle, such as one of those special coke bottles that are little balls, and paint it military green to make it more realistic?

I tried one of those bottles but the plastic is too thick as it has to hold the carbonated soda in and so the bomb does not explode.

Tip for the close shots- if it has a "macro" setting (my camera has a flower-looking symbol denoting such), it takes much sharper close-ups. jtlyk.

BTW, i was wondering a good way to do this.... Now that someone else figgured it out, i dont have to, though! how far do the BB's fly?
Slayerfan666 (author) in reply to Fire Explorer 3Jan 8, 2011. 6:59 PM
A good distance, I've never really put very many bbs in because I never see them go flying but when I go to look at the bottles remains theres honly a few bbs left there.
P.S. Thanks for the camera tip.

Np, thanks for the 'ible. now that school's almost done for the year, I need a good arsenal to complement the CO2 Mac-11. Came back to re-find all the awesome ideas everyone has.

That sucks but you must have dropped vinegar not in the bag into the bottle.
