One of the principle failings of existing airsoft grenades is that they are too wrapped up in form .. over function.

Real grenades look the way they do because they need to in order to work, the relationship of explosive charge to fragmentation materials defines the shape.

An airsoft grenade... because it functions differently by "throwing" bbs needs to take a different form that will by necessity be "ungrenade like" in order to achieve the functional requirements of good power and good dispersion of projectiles.

This is the failure of pretty much all of the grenades on the market save for the thumper ( which is a good simulator for a distraction device) in order to get something that looks like a grenade.. you have to settle for something that simply does not work very well.

I have seen Carl's prototype... I know what it looked like... and I also saw it take out 10 out of 14 people standing within 3 meters of it.
Function very grenadish... form.. who cares?
