Airsoft "Explosive" devices

[Ivan]

Second, I don't think that anyone can really train an airsoft player to defuse "airsoft IEDs"

I can, and my class is free. I see them and if they are pointed at me, I kick them hard. Sh*t's trying to steal my birthright n' sh*t. It's only right and prudent.

It's not very hard to disarm airsoft IEDs.

I think that they're cool, but very limited in their scope. Some will argue that like "oh ho ho ho if used right they're deadly" which is true, but, then again, when is that not true? Every time I have seen them I've been able to successfully disarm them, Pele style.

I've seen Vince throw, so if he kicks as hard as he throws it'll be ok for years of use :lol:

C, a while back (a few years) you packed BB's in those little party poppers, which we tied fishing wire fairly tight to, and booby trapped a whole area. Those worked pretty damn well.

They functioned flawlessly.  The problem lies in whether or not they will be set off.  In a large field, the odds are that they won't be.

At a field like Southwest, it's much more likely.

David, Matt P and I made a few boxes full of those devices for a BT a couple years ago.  We tried different things, but the flour and BBs worked best.  I told Mikey about them and he made some for the FEB game.
