i purchased a couple of BT M-8 grenades just to see what they were about, in the you tube video they looked like they could be fun, and if they worked i thought i could possibly run some demolition scenarios. when i pulled the pin on one of them it started spraying paint out of the pin holes in the lid, and the other one i pulled the pin and tossed it underhand (like he did in the video) and the damn thing just shot straight up in the air and sprayed the marking compound all over my boots. it looked more like someone let go of an inflated baloon than a grenade. so overall i am unimpressed with them. has anyone ever had a similar experience? or were my grenades just defective?

in my experience, any paint grenade sucks. ive thrown grenades at people and they wouldnt go off and the other players just throw them back. ive also heard that using them as booby traps works better, but ive never tried it

hmmm, you could probably make a trip wire mine pretty easily with some of them.

They used to have a grenade that worked well, I think it was called a M-82 or 62. you pulled a safety pin, then pulled a pull string(like on the old potato masher grenade) and tossed it. It had a 5 second delay and covered a 25 yard circular area. tossing them or using them as mines was awesome, the best usage was for bunker suppression(turned the inside of the bunker a nice shade of pink). the only thing about them is the had a large party popper charge in them.

That would be sick!!I will have to look for those. Bunker bustin is what I wanted to use the m8's for but that idea died when the damn thing just shot off like a baloon.
