pbghost Thursday, November 3rd, 2005 Period of Product Use: 1 year 14 of 14 people found this review helpful. Paintball Experience: 3 years Similar Products Used: Squadbusters- this isnt near as good Marker Setup: Tippmann 98 coustom, flatling, car stock, lazer sight, camo painted, remote coil. Tippmann 98 custom, 32 degreese flame drop forward, Rocket Cock II, St!ffi, Ricoshet appache hopper. Tippman A-5A-2 (custom tobstone, macroline, air through stock) LAPCO offset, Milsim red dot sight, R5 sniper hopper, St!iffi Strengths: Goes off EVERY TIME, bright orange fill Weaknesses: Kinda feels like it could go off in your pocket... Review: This is the grenade for all grenades, it will go off 99% of the time the 1% is if they drop it on pillows and it doesnt go off. it will go off and has about a 15 foot elimination radius, but this radious is more of an oval because it moves in the air, this goes up about 5-7 feet in the air and unleashes a fury of paint sure to douse anyone near it, some may consider it heavy to toss but its no more than the weight of a baseball. really easy to use also just take off plastic wraping and toss, Conclusion: dont get any other grenade, anything make like this will work, (atomic ordinace grenades) this one is best because of the fill! 10 out of 10 this is PERFECT Rating: 10 out of 10 I found this review   0 Comments - Add Comment

PaintballEv Monday, May 15th, 2006 Period of Product Use: 1 year 5 of 5 people found this review helpful. Paintball Experience: 3 years Similar Products Used: Tippmann Squadbusters (I'll never go back) Marker Setup: Tippmann A-5 JCS Combat Folding Stock w/ RVA 12" CMI Thunder Pig Barrel 32 Degrees Coiled Remote w/ Slide Check A-5A2 Foregrip for use w/ Bottomline Strengths: Easy to use Goes off every time Lotsa Paint Weaknesses: You have to unwrap it before you throw it, plastic makes crinkling noise Review: I've used about 2 or 3 of these over the course of a year, and I've seen two more go off in addition to those that I've thrown. Let me tell you first that this is an awesome grenade. With over 10 ounces of paint inside of it and because it goes off every time, it's quite reliable when it comes to eliminating your opponent. The only problem that I found was that you have to take off the plastic right before using it (I learned that the hard way) which may make a crinkling noise, thus giving your position away if your hiding. Other than that, it's awesome. Conclusion: Definately a good buy, $6 may seem a little high, but it's a good sacrifice for its reliablility.

Swordfish45 Friday, September 22nd, 2006 Period of Product Use: 3 months 4 of 9 people found this review helpful. Paintball Experience: More than 5 years Similar Products Used: Pod Rockets- fair Marker Setup: Spyder Rodeo A-5 Dogleg Complete w/RT Strengths: Practiaclity effectiveness Weaknesses: Price sensitivity prearming device... celophane no instructions- im an idiot Review: First off, Instructions: Do not pull the latex ring Do not unwrap the wrubber band Do not completely remove wrapper untill ready to fire I learned this the hard way: the little knot and rubber band is the fireing end. the loop is just a holder. You can probably trimm the excess wrapper or make a knotch to aid in arming. but the order is as folows: Unwrap Throw It is a great design and uses not ball bearings as fuses, it uses the force of paint comming through the knotted tube to dislodge the port and the thrust sends the grenade spining adding force to the paint. Conclusion: Great idea and great product. Please read up on the thing first Rating: 9 out of 10 I found this review   1 Comment - Add Comment

cryosilver Friday, May 25th, 2007 Period of Product Use: Only tested 2 of 2 people found this review helpful. Paintball Experience: 1 year Similar Products Used: Vegetable oil and coloring in a Glad bag. This is much better. I've had a Squad Buster thrown at me. I picked it up and threw it back. Marker Setup: Tippman A-5 with response trigger, A2 kit from Spec Ops Paintball and coiled remote 12" CMI Thunder Pig barrel Pure Energy 72/3000 HPA or 20 oz CO2 or AGD Minimag with 14" All American Barrel, custom hopper and coiled remote Pure Energy 72/3000 HPA or 9 oz CO2 Strengths: It works and spews paint everywhere Easy to use/prep Weaknesses: None as far as I can see Review: I got a few F Bombs as free gifts for ordering from SpecOps. One of them came with a tear in the plastic wrap, so after I called customeer service, who gave me another for free, I decided I might as well try it out, since it seemed fine other than the wrapper. I went down into the woods behind my house, set up about a dozen empty bottles in a group, pulled the plastic off and chucked it with a fair amount of force from about 30 feet away. When it hit the ground, it spewed paint everywhere and marked every bottle thoroughly. If it can do that in a game, I'd be very happy with the results. Using the grenade it very simple; unwrap and throw. The fact that it worked even when partially unwrapped says to me that from now on, I'm going to cut some of the wrapper and just scotch tape the tear, to make it quicker to unwrap in the field. I threw it about as hard as you'd throw a water balloon, and it worked just fine. Don't aim for people's faces when you throw this thing! Conclusion: Well, I didn't have to pay for my 3 grenades, and I get one for free to replace the one I tested, so for me, they're a great value :) But even if you've got to pay for them, it'd be worth buying a 3 or 6 pack from SpecOps and carrying 2 of them onto the field. They work, and for 5 bucks, you could get several elimations that you'd probably waste 5 dollars in paint getting anyways. Anyone expecting something like a Squad Buster to land ineffectually at their feet is in for a nasty surprise! Rating: 9 out of 10 I found this review   0 Comments - Add Comment

zhelldog Monday, March 26th, 2007 Period of Product Use: 6 months 2 of 2 people found this review helpful. Paintball Experience: 2 years Similar Products Used: specops little betty f-bomb: worked pretty well but wont fit in most pockets. specops pod rocket: also worked well but be aware that once the pin is pulled it may dentonate before you throw it. tippmann squadbusters: worst grenades you can get. Marker Setup: Tippmann A5 m4 stock egrip with W.A.S board PMI remote hose Special ops C-series Blackcell barrel 16" with suppressor tip Strengths: Goes off every throw. No pin. Carries 10 oz of paint. Bright orange fill. Weaknesses: Not a very large effect radius. Review: The specialops fbomb big boy is the best grenade to hit the market. It goes off on every throw, the paint is a bright orange and easy to see, the grenade is filled to the max with 10 oz of paint, and they work wonders against well entrenched enemies! Now for the bad. If you throw this grenade at someone in the open they only have to be 5ft away to avoid it. I recommend using this grenade only if you think you will encounter enemies fighting behind a fixed defense(like bunkers or pillboxes). One final word of advice, make sure that you keep the plastic wrapping on up until you are ready to throw it. Conclusion: I think that this grenade works wonders against the other teams defenders and if you are playing on a field with alot of bunkers then definitley buy this grenade it wont fail you.

chip hazzard Wednesday, April 30th, 2008 Period of Product Use: Less than a month Paintball Experience: 3 years Similar Products Used: Squadbuster Marker Setup: 1 splatmaster pistol stock tippmann 98c with venturi bolt and remote Strengths: Always works 360 degree payload Weaknesses: Plastic wrap Review: This is the best grenade I have ever used. I love it. It always goes off and it doesn't have a pull pin. Just throw. The plastic is annoying. It is surprisingly difficult to remove. Try tearing it halfway before entering the field. ***Don't remove until throwing*** This grenade will always go off when you throw it. Great for bunkering. Conclusion: Best grenade on the market. Cheap, reliable and easy to use. Rating: 10 out of 10 I found this review   0 Comments - Add Comment

CQB102 Thursday, January 10th, 2008 Period of Product Use: 3 months Paintball Experience: 4 years Similar Products Used: Tippmann Squadbuster (there a joke), Wet Willies Strengths: They go off 99.9% of the time!! Large blast area Weaknesses: Expensive, especially when ordering from Canada Review: I have finally found a paintball grenade that works and actually goes off when you throw it. They have a large blast area and kill a lot of people if you get your throw right. If you have one in your cargo pocket you do have the tendency to think that if you out any weight on it, it would explod. After all they have 14 onces of paint in them. Conclusion: Screw tippmann squadbusters.... BUY F BOMBS!!! Rating: 10 out of 10 I found this review   0 Comments - Add Comment

wmiles11@yahoo. Sunday, June 17th, 2007 Period of Product Use: Only tested Paintball Experience: 1 year Similar Products Used: Predator Paintball Park Grenade Marker Setup: Spyder Electra 05 ACS VL 200 (waiting for VL Eye Force) 20 oz C02 (getting Air ASAP) Strengths: See Review Weaknesses: Big (I don't mind) Review: I got one of these off Spec Ops as my free gift when I got some Vballs. Size- HUGE!!! This things are huge. I had trouble fitting them into my jeans pocket (don't recomend). A few people comented on the size (twice the size of the predator grenades). All this holds the 10 OZ of paint. Thats alot for a grenade. It can easily take out a group of people. Intimidation/Panic Factor- If you see someone throw/prepare to throw a grenade at you, you think, Crap! and duck in cover. When you see someone throw one of these, you think, HOLY @#$& IM GETTING THE &(%) OUT OF HERE! SCREW THIS @#$%. Piont is, you panic. Before the game, people were giving me the "HOLY %#&*" and "HE IS ON MY TEAM" looks. When people see you with this big boy, then know someone is going to get drenched. And when you have 10 of them. Well... even the most organized teams panic when people chunk 10 grenades at them and see a hail of paint. These can cause panic. Flush them out of cover with a nade, and light up their backs as the reteat. Many people will fear you with these bad boys. Paint- 10 OZ may not seem like alot (to me) but when you see the Big Boy flop up and down spraying it in 50 directions, it seems like alot. I've seen people get hit with specks and spots of paint 25 ft the impact. It has a large blast radius and if effective at eliminating group of players or individuals even if your throw is off a little. Simple Operation- Just about the easiest thing u can do. Take off the plastic covering on the Big Boy, and throw it. Just that. The impact will cause the "pin" (a rubber thing ties around one end of the Big Boy) to come off and the nade will fly up and down splurting out paint everywhere. Reliable- They are very sensitive so even a weak throw will activate them. Be careful though. An accidental drop could trigger it. They are guranteed to work and are amazing. Conclusion: These are the best grnades out there. They have never let me down and are extremly effective. Why shoot an enemy when you can drench them in paint?

cattew Tuesday, June 12th, 2007 Period of Product Use: Less than a month Paintball Experience: 2 years Similar Products Used: squadbuster(smells like SH*T literaly) Marker Setup: tippmann a5 dogleg stock remote coil e grip Strengths: 99% it will go off Will not go off without the plastic of first Weaknesses: Doesnt "spin" Bulky You have to take the plastic off Review: I got a free grenade from special ops for being a bergade member and i was stoked as I wanted to buy a big box of them So i went in to the forest with my 10 yr old brother threw a garbage bag on him chucked it and splat it went off instantly thinking this was great i watched and was disapionted it shot into one direction and went straight up didnt get a drop on him. it smelled great but i wouldnt want to spend any money on it also when your in a tight situation takeing the plastic off takes time plus people itter Conclusion: Shoots a whoping 10 onces of paint into one directon if you can get it for free go ahead its fun but dont depend on it in a game you wont hit any one unless their in a pillbox or a small building or tight bunker Rating: 5 out of 10 I found this review   0 Comments - Add Comment

Howlin' Mad Friday, February 10th, 2006 Period of Product Use: Only tested Paintball Experience: 1 year Similar Products Used: Atomic Ordnance - Same Thing Pod Rockets - Bad Little Betty's - Good, but not as good Squadbusters - Not as good Marker Setup: Marker 1: Tippmann 98 Custom BT Designs APEX Expansion Chamber Adco IMP Response Trigger Shocktech Front Bolt Black Dye Sticky Grips BT Sealed Bolt System Custom Paint job Polished Internals 12 Volt Revy Marker 2: JT Acclerator W/E-Grip 3.5 14in. Smartparts Progressive 12 Volt Revy Strengths: Lots of paint Bright fill Weaknesses: Expensive Review: These are good grenades, but they're the same things are Atomic Ordnance Big Boys. Strengths: Lots of paint: This things just spews paint everywhere for like 3-5 seconds. Good coverage. Eliminated a bunch of people with just one throw. Bright fill: The fill is a BRIGHT orange. It did seem a little watery. Weaknesses: Expensive: These cost a little more than Atomic Ordnance's. It's only like a buck, but its still money. EDIT: I have a VERY good reason to believe these are repackaged Big Boys. I just got one in the mail recently that still had an Atomic Ordnance label still on it. Conclusion: Its up to you. If you buy it fine. If not thats fine too. Rating: 7 out of 10 Last edited on Thursday, March 23rd, 2006 at 3:19 pm PST I found this review   3 Comments - Add Comment
