| Review: |
i pulled the tab on the vanilla scented grenade and threw it, it exploded and got some people out. i was proud of myself, thats pretty much it. Good grenade, way better than a Tippmann squad buster..........plus these smell better. only once did the plastic cap come completely off...i might have pulled the tab too hard. Good grenade and fun when u get someone out with one. |
 |
| Conclusion: |
i like these grenades and they are way better than the squad buster, they are easy to throw and dont malfunction much like the squadbusters. i recommend!!!!! im giving it a nine cuz i pulled the plastic mechanism all the way off and threw it and it didnt go off, and my buddy picked it up and threw it back at me..... |

| Review: |
This is one of the best paintball grenades you can find.
Unlike the Tippmann, this actually goes off, even in leaves and grass.
12 oz of paint insures that you cover a good area with paint.
Since of its medium size, it’s only good if you want to take out small groups of people.
Small Long Size makes it easy to carry in pouches.
Uses a pull pin clam to keep sealed
Metal ball keeps paint in, so when the grenade hits the ground, the ball will easily pop out.
For its price, it is very affordable.
Price Range is 3.00-5.00 |
 |
| Conclusion: |
You can fit 2 of these on the sides of a M16 Magazine Pouch, along with a U-15 16oz in the main compartment.
Great Product that works and has a good spray radius.

Tippmann Squadbuster |
 |
| Marker Setup: |
I use various paintball pistols, PT Pro, Nel-Spot 007, PGP etc |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Strengths: |
The Wet Willie is a convenient size. I carried several around in a pouch for an entire day of play on several occasions and none broke despite rolling and crawling on them. To use the grenade you have to shake them up well, which I did the night before the game, and just before the game, and just before using them. I lobbed the grenades and every time they went off spraying paint all over.
I like the fact you can see the fill inside to see if it is mixed. I've used two types, one with a clip end and the other had a ring which you pull off, both worked. The paint grenades work much better than the Tippmann Squadbusters as they go off when they land and your opponent can't throw them back at you.
The effect of the paint grenade is quite dramatic in enclosed spaces, I've seen one player covered from head to toe. |
 |
| Weaknesses: |
Nothing really, I can't throw so I would advise practice if you want to put the paint grenade in a particular spot. The closer you land it to your opponent the more effective it is, particularly inside shacks and bunkers. They are supposed to be scented but I didn't notice any particular smell. |
 |
| Conclusion: |
I would recommend this paint grenade over a squadbuster any day. The ring pull type are the most convenient as one player commented, "I pulled the ring and threw it - just like a real grenade!" Obviously getting the grenade on target is really important. I was at a big game where one player got hit in the head by a Wet Willie, he was standing in a tower, and the paint grenade bonked him him in the mask, the contents squirted all over him and his buddies inside the tower, no damage to anything else! It wasn't the intention of the player throwing it to hit the player in the mask, and I wouldn't make this a practice, but you can see that the paint grenade went off effectively even in this adverse situation. |

| Weaknesses: |
Contain less paint than Tippmann Squadbuster, early discharge |
 |
| Review: |
The G4 is the first grenade I've ever used, and I must say that for the price and quality, this is one of the best to use on the field.
Strengths:
1.) Compact - you can fit two in a pouch versus one Tippmann Squadbuster, meaning you have more with you to use.
2.) Easy to use - shake, pull the pin, and throw - no cap, no mesh netting to worry about, simple as that.
3.) Works as indicated (sometimes) - I had two grenades work perfectly during a scenario game, and one work during a one-on-one pick-up game with my buddy. They hit and discharge every time, seemingly regardless of terrain. They work well.
Weaknesses:
1.) Contain less paint than Tippmann Squadbuster - they're small and compact, but the Tippman has far more coverage when splattering, meaning they may have more effectiveness than the G4, which discharges its paint very fast. I hit less people with the G4 by far. While they are cheaper, you may end up having to lob more, making them actually more expensive!
2.) Early discharge - they need Viagra, plain and simple - out of 5 used thus far, two of them discharged the moment I pulled the pin even though the instructions tell you to pinch the tip while you're removing the pin just in case. Not a killer at all, just saying: no grenade is 100%, so you'll just have to live with the occasional bad grenade. |
 |
| Conclusion: |
Cheap, intimidating, and easy-to-use grenade. Reliability will vary player to player, as I've seen with many grenade reviews, but I've had a good time with them despite my two early dischargers. :-) |

| Review: |
This is a great grenade, and it’s cheaper than most!
It has self spinning technology or whatever you want to call it but it does work.
Because of the spinning it covers a nice sized area.
Apparently it’s scented, I didn't notice it=[
This grenade is like four dollars that’s all lot cheaper than most.
It’s very simple, shake, pull, and throw.
|
 |
| Conclusion: |
Great gernade, great price, just great. |

| Review: |
Warning do not i repeat do not try to hang these from your vest
me and my friend were at our first big scenario(2500 people)
were in our tent then he has the brite idea to hand one from his vest by
the pin in our tent.so he hooks it and as the grenade is falling as the pin is out
i catch it at the hole and stop the paint from exploding out.so now i have this live grenade in my tent i jump out and chuck it over the fence at the speed of light
and the dudes around the fire out side my tent look at me and say goodmorning.
the morle off the story is i did use one of these and i got twoo people out from behind a tree and they work great just dont hook them on your vest |
 |
| Conclusion: |
ive tried three different grenades(G-4,squad buster and atomic ordinance)
and this one worked the best |

| Review: |
This is a great granede. It actually goes off when its thrown, unlike some granedes. Its small and its easy to put in a pocket or something. The only bad thing is the price, $5. Its alot of money for something you use once. These work better than squadbusters and there the same price. Buy these. |

They work every time. |

my friend used a tippmann grenade and he had thrown it at a bunker several times and it didn't go off. |

| Review: |
this is a great paint grenade becasue it actually works unlike the tippmann one. it shoots the paint really far and it covers a lot of ground. I like it the most becasue I can get these grenades for $2. this grenade worked very well for me but it dissapointed me when i found out it didn't smell. The even cooler thing is that you can sometimes refill these grenades. |
 |
| Conclusion: |
These are the best grenades you can buy. |

| Review: |
An incredibly good grenade, affordable, a little more than a tippmann, but there is no comparison, tippmanns never explode. these always explode and hit the target. they are also the perfect size to fit in my custom made grenade launcher, for long distance shots. if you have a 2 inch grenade launcher you vcan easly make these work for you. they are very easy to throw also because of their weight |
 |
| Conclusion: |
Buy these grenades, they will almost never fail you |

| Review: |
I bought one of these at a chop jsut to blow some cash. Since I had it for a while and wasn't going to be able to play for 2 more weekends I decided to try it. So I removed the pin which caused a small discharge of paaint but nothing important. Lobbed it 20 feet away in the grass and the thing bursted and shot around like a ballon covering a good area in white paint. |
 |
| Conclusion: |
If you want a reliable grenade buy this |
