Ever wondered how to make an airsoft grenade? Here are a few different methods to do so.

Easter Egg Method

  1. Open a regular plastic Easter egg.
  2. Drill or cut out the little hole in the bottom.
  3. Insert a small firecracker (types may vary), and stick the wick out of the hole (M90's are cheap, small, and very powerfull). Be sure to make the wick long enough for someone to be able to get away in time.
  4. Fill the grenade with some inexpensive 6mm plastic BBs.
  5. Close the Easter egg.
  6. Light the fuse carefully.
  7. Throw the egg at the target.

Balloon Method

  1. Obtain some cheap water balloons, and some cheap BBs.
  2. Use a speed loader to load about 50 BBs into the balloon.
  3. Push the BBs down to the bottom of the balloon when you have filled it.
  4. Add another 50 BBs and do the same thing.
  5. Blow the balloon up to the size of a human fist. Add about 10 mm of water.
  6. This balloon will shatter on impact.

Film Canister Grenade

  1. Obtain two film canisters but take away the caps of the canister.
  2. Fill the canisters halfway with 6mm plastic BBs.
  3. Stretch a rubber band around the two canisters.
  4. Slide a piece of cardboard in between the canisters.
  5. Take out the cardboard.
  6. Throw the canisters at the target.

Ping Pong Ball Method

  1. Get a Ping Pong ball and some BB's
  2. Cut a small rectangle about the length of the tip of your finger out of the ball
  3. Fill the ball up with as many BB's as desired
  4. Put a piece of tape over the hole so the BB's do not fall out in your pocket
  5. When ready to throw, take tape off and cover with your finger, throw side-armed over target(s)

Shotgun Shell Method

  1. Find a used shotgun shell and fill it about halfway with dirt.
  2. Put a green fuse firecracker in and fill the rest of the shell with dirt.
  3. Put a small hole in a piece of paper and put the fuse though the hole.
  4. Secure the paper with rubber bands.

Origami Method

  1. Get a sheet of paper and make an origami water bomb.
  2. Use a speed loader or funnel and load it to about three fourths capacity with plastic 6mm BBs.
  3. Take a GREEN fused fire cracker and place it in the water bomb's hole fuse side up (or use a bottle rocket with the stick removed).
  4. Place the rocket fuse side up through the water bomb's hole in the top.
  5. Be very careful with it. The explosion CAN set the paper on fire.
  6. (NOTE: Don't use too strong of an explosive, make sure it can't do any serious damage if something goes wrong)

Tips

  • The ping pong method works best when you cut the ball in half and tape it loosely together.
  • The fewer BBs in, the more they will shoot.
  • Only attempt under close adult supervision.
  • Always wear safety glasses.
  • Build over a tub as not to lose BBs.
  • use some sandpaper (NOT A POWER SANDER!) to scrape off some of the plastic on the egg with the easter egg method.

Warnings

  • This can be dangerous. Wear protective gear and do not be reckless.
  • Do not throw at moving objects.
  • If used for an airsoft fight, do not throw directly at person, throw at ground 1-2 feet away from target.
  • For methods involving firecrackers,always use green fuse firecrackers. Grey fuse firecrackers will blow up right after you light them.
