Grenades are not common in airsoft games for many reasons. But this may be changed by with introduction of the Ukrainian PyroSoft brand on the Polish market, which offers certified pyrotechnic products in the form of grenades. The offer includes replicas of F1, RGD-5 and M67 models. There is a difference between these models not only in external appearance, but also in the amount of pyrotechnic material used (12g for the F1 variants, 11g for the RGD-5 and M67 variants). Individual models are available in three standard filling and weight variants.
The G versions have pea and paraffin filling, and are intended for games and simulations. The M versions are filled with chalk, for a better visual effect. The black and blue versions are characterized by a weight closest to the originals, which is definitely felt when held. Metal powder is responsible for the filling. All models are water resistant (IP66 standard), have a polymer shell and are secured by a pin and a lever.
The offer includes not only hand grenades, but also ammunition for underbarrel grenade launchers. Currently, work is underway to obtain the necessary documentation to start selling grenades, shells and grenade launchers.
The entire system is based on a trigger mechanism with an electric trigger and primer. We place the grenades in reusable casing, which are then connected to the trigger mechanism. The entire system uses the same ammunition, but the differentiating element is the selected grenade launcher replica and the corresponding casings. The effective range of the entire system is estimated by the manufacturer at approximately 100 m when shooting at an angle. Due to the requirement to meet the pyrotechnic standards, it will not be possible to use replicas of grenade launchers that use gas grenades.
