By loading the gas last, you have the potential to trip the valve and shoot the entire load of BBs everywhere. Tip #3 - Do you load BBs or Gas First? It’s a hot debate. The O-rings that simply hold the BBs in place aren’t too important, but if they dry up they may snap and allow BBs to escape. Ensure that you keep them gassed up in storage with something like Maintenance Gas, to ensure that they remain in tip top condition. Tip #2 - 40mm Gas grenades are very similar to gas magazines, so all of the maintenance tips and guides are applicable. There is a trade-off between volume and range, so try to find the ratio that works for you and your play style. Tip #1 - If you find that you aren’t quite getting the range that you would like to from your 40mm grenades, try loading them with less BBs. The launcher will then depress the 40mm grenades button and actuate the valve. You place the grenade inside its individual chamber and pull the trigger. This can be anything from a little handheld launcher to an under slung m203 or a standalone revolving CAW launcher. Whilst you can theoretically use a 40mm grenade without a launcher, you should probable pair it with a 40mm launcher. Unlike pistol and rifle gas chambers, which only use a small portion, you need to refill the reservoir (and BB chambers) before next use. This pressure forces the BBs out of the chambers and out towards the enemy with a commanding and satisfying “THUNK”…ĪLL of the gas within the reservoir is used to propel the BBs. The internal valve opens the gas reservoir and directs the pressure into the rear of the BB chambers. The grenade will usually have a large push button on the back which actuates an internal valve. So how are the BBs propelled from the barrels? The Valve Note: Ensure that when loading the BB chambers with BBs that you are wearing eye protection, even if you believe there is no gas within the chamber.
The end of the barrels usually have an O-ring which hold the BBs in place and cause them to spread, much like a hop-up when fired causing a wider spread of BBs. The “front towards enemy” end can be viewed similarly to any other airsoft gun, except instead of 1 BB in the chamber, there can be 20 BBs and instead of 1 chamber, there’re about 10 – giving (in some cases) 200 BBs ready to be fired. You never know what kind of debris (or even high pressure gas) could damage your eyes if accidentally discharged.
Note: Ensure that when charging the grenade with gas that you are wearing eye protection, even if the chambers are empty. The grenade is filled with gas in the same way that you would fill a gas pistol or rifle magazine, explained in our video here. Abbey vertex gas is our most powerful and perfect for this application. You charge the grenade up via the fill valve (usually on the dangerous end), with your propellant gas of choice. The gas reservoir is – without going into too much detail – a reservoir for gas. One area that we didn’t cover was 40mm grenades and launchers.Ĥ0mm airsoft grenades are a fun and useful tool to use in airsoft, spraying up to 200 BBs instantly towards the enemy.Īn airsoft grenade consists of 3 very simple parts to understand, the gas reservoir the BB chambers, and the valve. In a previous blog of ours, we looked at how airsoft grenades work – from pyrotechnic, to gas and blank firing grenades. 21 st Aug 2017 How does an Airsoft Grenade Launcher Work?
