Paintball Grenades

Re usable, cheap paintball grenades and are easy to make

Step 1 Materials

1.Sergical tubing (I got mine from a friend who was in physio tharapy and my brother got some also from a physio tharapist but im sure theirs other places to get it)

2. Coat hanger (straightened out)

3. Air soft BBs (the 6mm ones, it shouldn't matter what weight)

4.Paintballs

5.Water gun pump(out of the gun). Iv also used nerf gun peices but their harder to use.

wat type of not is good???? cause hard for me doing a simple water ballon knot

[Prop]

its just a normal knot.....you tie it before theres any pressure on it so its just like tying string

[Jarheadicus]

Correction: It is called an overhand knot.

So, if I were to pull the pin and put this grenade in a rocket launcher that fires it across my yard at high velocity, will it keep from exploding until it hits it's target, or will it burst inside my launcher the moment i pull the trigger

[Prop]

Good question..... no idea. All I can suggest is to try it. I think if you put lots of packing behind in it would probably work. Or you could try a modified way of pinning in and tethering the pin to the launcher. Ya do that... instead of putting a pin through the end just fold the end over and put a clip (like a nose plug type clip) on the end that will come off easy and just tether it. you dont need a lot to keep the bb from slipping.

[codongolev]

you could use a balloon. (the long thin kind)

[Prop]

no you cant

[naruto the ninja13]

why?

[Prop]

Cus it too big around to hold a bb and doesn't have enough pressure

[codongolev]

ummm..... okay.

[theREALcybercat]

Iis this could work with water as well as paint?

[Prop]

Yep.... when I was designing this I used water to do all my tests.

[Hitman227]

ritter4242 copied this instructable but they both(the grenade) are built the same. Good job!

[Prop]

Mine are still better.... Lol

[Hitman227]

Yes it is. d:p

[djlolypop]

i when u use it pick the stuff up and make like a good place to put it in then when u get back home make more

[spenfisher12]

what does your comment mean

[Prop]

lol

[cam.dav32]

Could you use a bikes inner tube for the tubing?

[Prop]

No

[john209]

what diameter is the tubing?

[Prop]

the answer to that is already in the comments

[migel]

you can get surgical tubing at most hardware stores

[wectangle]

the other advantage to using the surgical tube is its shape. you should be able to put one in your ammo pod to protect it when out in the field...

[tommyskater1]

what kind of tubing do you use?

[switchpaw]

between 20 and 16 gauge wire works for the pins.

[Prop]

Surgical Tubing....Sorry it took so long to respond, for some reason I didn't get a notification.
