Building these traps is quite easy and fast but will they work?

[@acorgiwithacrown467]

When creating actual boobytraps using grenades typically you would unscrew the top of the grenade then remove the fuze leaving only the primer and detonator so it explodes instantly.

For me, i find booby traps aren't very effective because you rely on the honor of others. If no one is around to see them die, will they call it? I sadly find most won't.

Well, this guy had a camera in front of them so he's in a slightly different situation that your average airsofter.

[@WormwoodActual]

@@fanta4897 I agree completely! I'm thinking more along the lines of large, long, milsim events, where most won't sit around and watch their traps. But, it would be GREAT, for overnight camping events.

[@flashheart7675]

Iv been doing this for years and yes at first I made those errors but using them as means of protecting yourself like rigging it close by like the entrance to a bunker and the using the bunker as a fire position is effective and similar use indoors you could rig a few rooms ahead of your position so if contacts get to close boom Iv even had it rigged in a corridor and I’m holding the other end of the line waiting for enemy players to come plus using a tin can with the grenade inside it is miles more effective removing pin put grenade in tin which holds the spoon and tie the line to the grenade doesn’t fail

These are really effective however most fields ban this or highly restrictive this due to the injury rate, people could easily trip over it and fall over and injure themselves or give them a reaction to panic and fall over, in my field its allowed, however it has to be a fishing line that is brightly colored and at chest level

[@Suutari4]

That makes sense. Guys could be running around and tripping on fishing lines

[@UNDERCOVER_E]

what's the point if its brightly coloured and nearly at eye level.

With some grenades you should take the fuze out of the grenade so there no delay then take the ping out but kept the spoon held together so there's less pressure and less noticeable when people walk over it.

[@thetokugawaclan1003]

there are other types of booby traps with grenades you can make, 1. pull the pin and put the armed grenade inside a soda cup (like those in mcdonalds) one end of the string to the grenade and the other to the cup 2. you could do a small knot that holds the spoon and tie it so it lets go of the spoon, this will make it easier to set up traps and lower the risk of accidentally setting them off

[@rangetpc]

Glass containers like jars is a very good method, place them in locations where a door opens or a window, when they fall the jar will break and release the handle

[@thetokugawaclan1003]

@@rangetpc could also work but the crash would alert the enemy and the spoon might not release unless the whole bottle/jar breaks

With the advent of pyrotechnic grenades with an active bracket in the CIS countries, milsim games have moved to a new level. They mine quite a lot, stretch marks - grenades, pressure mines, remote control mines. Any pile of garbage can be dangerous. Manufacturers of pyrotechnics act according to requests, make grenades with a small delay, mines for tripwires (instantly work), remote control mines. The blogger Black Winter Airsoft told a lot about the methods of mining in airsoft.

[@awfultruth6216]

The answer to your question is: They are very, very effective if they're properly set and the right tipe of grenade is used. The way placed them wasn't the best one for the very same reason you noticed: The delay of the explosion. When setting up a booby trap, you have to consider 2 things: Where the target is going to trip and where he/she is going to be when the device will explode. Booby traps are almost always meant to kill by chance, not by targeting specific targets. If you plan to use them in a defensive fashion (e.g. Area denial), you should either change you tactics or set them off manually (Or both). with a 3.5 sec delay fuse, he has up to 2.5 secs to react. A couple interesting fact about delayed booby traps actuatted by trip wires: Most people who hit a trip wire tend to stop retract or withdraw from the area where the trap was actually set - not going towards it.Just like it happened in your video in both cases. In the first the guy slowed down to see what the hell he hit and got blasted, the second guy hit it and withdraw the moment he realised what it was. And you missed it. Hint: Next time, place the grenade on the spot their supposed to withdraw to (Above their heads, so there are less chances they will notice it while in the rush) and the trip wire in the direction they are supposed to go to attack you. Use a heavy duty trip wire so they can feel it and react (the wrong way). They will end up either tripping on it or stopping just above the the grenade their heads.

A big tip when throwing grenades, do not whip them through the air, they have enough mass to stay airborne when thrown more accurately. Try using more of a catapult type method next time, I guarantee you’ll be more accurate. 😁

[@imanijones10]

The P90 trigger hole is an odd double circle for a reason, it's for your thumb to go through just in front of the trigger finger. If you hold the P90 correctly as intended, you won't ever blow your hand off. I see soo many people who are completely oblivious to the thumb hole that it's made it into some videogames and movies. Bugs me juuuuust a lil bit xD

[@Kradyn]

For realistic gameplay such type of grenades are great and you can set double grenade traps that surround the enemy with explotions or set a trap that will activate the grenade that will explode in the room in which enemy will try to escape when the wire is activated. if you need more effectivness there is a type of grenades that are called "booby-trap" grenades - they explode instantly after activating.

[@notCSScode]

2:06 It makes me happy that this guy called the hit even though nobody was around. It also seemed like he didn't know the camera was there.

[@dnendion4300]

While grenades can be very effective the ethical use of a Pyro mine is questionable. For designated fields you can argue that if it fails to go off if another person walks into it they will have eye protection. Even then there are times where you have a “Dead Field” where people don’t wear masks. If you are playing in a part time field or a game in an abandoned place you should not. While they can held and change the game I think they are to only be flash devices at the most and each player needs to track each one and disarm after each round before leaving the field.

[@HOOLIGANfxd]

Putting a booby trap is a big brain play. NICE!

[@blehblah9233]

Effectively not allowed at any field I've ever been to.

[@threeoeightwadcutter2820]

My advice for using this grenade is boobytraps ist to put them into a can like Coca-Cola can put out the Splint and put the grenade on the fishing line so the enemy will pullout the whole Granate out of the Coca-Cola can and the fishing line will wrap the grenade around his leg so he has no chance to get away. Works every time

[@michaelmateo734]

What I think would make it effective is to put the grenades behind the trigger, sorta. So basically, instead of the enemy walking ahead and being blown up for a few seconds you could have them trigger it, they notice and back up, then get blown up back before the trigger.

I am a simple man, I see RGD-5, i likem. Speaking of then, the trip wire doesn't pull the pin. You cut safety pin and lube it or you pull the pin and out the grenade somewhere what blocks the the lever and the tripwire just drops the grenage and sets the lever free.

[@hughgrection3052]

U should try grenade traps with a pipe instead of relying on a string to pull the pin. They used to use old bazooka tubes for this. But any pipe that's large enough to hold a grenade and it's spoon closed will do. Carefully pull the pin, then slip it inside the pipe so it stays assembled. Then put the pipe over a doorway or up in a tree out of sight. And rig a trip wire that will make the pipe fall from one end, but have the other end stay held up. This way it dumps one or more grenades down on top of the enemy. It eats up some of the time needed for them to blow also. It usually takes around a second for them to land on the ground, then the enemy has to realize wtf is going on also lol. By then they're blowing up. This method works best because pins are actually harder to pull than many think

Effective they might be, but it should be made very clear to and agreed by all players that things like that may be used and in what conditions; something like that can be very dangerous, as someone might be crawling or ducking right into the grenade as it goes off; even without BBs, just the small explosion could severely injure someone in the wrong circumstances and that's supposed to be a game, one shouldn't risk anything more than a few small bruises - imho.
