No Explosives Airsoft grenade

Step 3: Priming

To prime, remove the cap and tap the bag gently into the bottle untill the top of the bag is just below the top of the bottle, put the cap back on tightly. Now shake twice so there isn't a immediate reaction and throw. The bang combigned with the flying bbs is sure to get you the upper hand in the battle!

excellent instructable

Thanks!

What you need todo is score the walls of the bottle so it explodes and cracks apart along those seams.

[evilmadcow]

you also forgot it is designed to explode at the making

[flamethrower1010]

I think that's the trick to why my bottles work, I got them at a recycle store which means there was something wrong with them so they weren't put on the market and I believe it's because of the seam. They consistently break along one of the two seams, so scoring the sides of the bottle would probably work very well.

wont the vinegar escape? when it about to explode

[Loosewire; SOE Operative]

I think he mean just score the sides to weaken them rather than actually cutting through the bottle.

[fastlines49s]

that's a smart idea...

[hunter-4-life]

nice

I made one of these bit when it blew up it hit me in the eye twice, but luckly it hit my eyelid. if it didn't i would only have one eye that i could see out of. Also my eye did not recover for a few weaks. So kids always were safety goggles.

P.S. I didn't!

[hunter1125]

Wear a paintball mask for airsoft. It will protect your eyes and teeth. Yes, I said teeth. For those out there that don't already know, airsoft bbs can chip and shatter teeth. A friend of mine learned that the hard way....

hahaha

[thats mr sonic to you]

y did you not wear safety glasses all ways where safety glasses or you can plind your self and you dont want that

[The3rdPunch]

my only problem is when it explodes, wont a victim have like, 1,000s of plastic shards in their face instead of bbs?

[flamethrower1010]

 yes your right, i just didn't put that in because it is intended for airsoft where you should always ALWAYS wear eye protection. 

[BADWOLF1]

won't the canister cover the explosion

[(YOUR N]

the canister blows up sqeak

[flamethrower1010]

not sure what you mean ... if you r thinking the explosion is inside the container it is the reaction that is inside the container which creates carbon dioxide making the canister (the bottle) explode and the air pressure release takes the bbs with it. does that answer your question?

[robot343]

I think he meant the canister will be too strong, and it won't blow up because vinegar and baking soda doesnt make all that much prsssure. I think that it would also be great with a bunch of dry ice in a bottle, filled with bb's, pour water into the bottle, close it, and throw it.......and theres my next instructable :D

[ToddisI]

That will explode in like, 2 seconds after you screw on the cap...

[ilpug]

didnt think of dry ice... might be a good idea.

[flamethrower1010]

it shouldnt be too strong if you use enough of each "chemical" it should work.

[mettaurlover]

I personally just make MRE bombs laced with hot sauce and occasionally BB's. Nothing like getting a massive blast of that stuff to clear out a small area.

[minerug]

When I was mucking about with stuff like this, I found a 25/25/50 mix of Tartaric acid (powder), Citric acid, (also powder) and baking soda accompanied by a splash or 3 of vinegar in a plastic milk bottle gets rather good bangs... Try it and see for yourself

[ilpug]

would boric acid powder work? ive got a 10 lb. sack of it. whare do you get the tartaric and citric?

[dvnkmmy]

what kind of bottle is that? i have a 20 once bottle but im afraid that it is too big.

[cheeseandbroccoli]

hi ........................................... strapless parachuting without a parachute is awesome

[flamethrower1010]

 20 oz. could work but you would need A LOT of the chemicals and it would take a long time for it to blow up.
i'm not sure what kind of bottle but i've heard that a sunny d bottle works well 

[Underclass Hero]

thanks man i must try this

[Smeds]

I'd say that this isn't the best grenade, but if you are in a war where you are using them for the first time, it has possibilities as a distraction device. I wonder if increasing the ratio of Baking Soda : Vinegar would have any effect. I was using a 6.75 ounce bottle with 3/4 vinegar and the 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, then switched to a full teaspoon (Link to bottle shape at bottom).

[chocowubbles]

Amazing dude, and brilliant. I've tried many variations of the baking soda and vinegar airsoft grenade, and this is by far the best.

[pieman12]

that was so cool. i used a pill bottle and it worked realy well :D

[covey12]

that looks like one of those energy shot bottles like 5-hour energy

[d2j5]

what kind of bottle is that ? so i can make one

[flamethrower1010]

truthfully, i have no idea but a sunny d bottle might work im trying to find another subistute for it.

[jamiespark]

water bottles work 2

[d2j5]

ok thanks

[henkow]

Thats very clever. Simple yet effective. Who said all baking sod and vinegar reactions were only good for play school volcano models

[kingkulko]

holy crap that is awesome
