This New 3-D Printed Flashbang is the BOMB!!!!!

[@FCWTony]

Hey Jeremy, thanks so much for displaying our project! We went ahead and revised the counterweight to round it off for more reliable firing. We were a little bit too conservative with the initial tolerances. I hope you have fun out there throwing it at people! Cheers, Tony from FCW

It’s been a blast! It looks amazing and works practically 100% on concrete/ hard surfaces ! CQB players don’t stand a chance !

How many Decibels does it sound?

[@GelOpsV2]

Not sure the exact number but it’s less than a balloon popping for sure

There might be a simple way to add a weight that pivots and has leverage, so that no matter how it lands (whichever direction the kinetic energy goes) it will release the firing pin. Like in one direction the weight will pull the firing pin off just by inertia... but then if it hits the ground in the opposite direction it will have a leverage in that direction which will also force the firing pin off the ledge. It would be a very simple design also. You could also have two sides of a ledge where if it lands on either side, one of the sides will be kicked outward and release the firing pin from inertia (with the firing pin holding on in the middle). You could even make it a 4-way, so if any one of the 4 sides are "tripped" from the inertia, the firing pin will be released. Sorry if these aren't the best descriptions. It's not always easy to explain 3d mechanisms with just words.

Needs a timmer. Impact is to unrelyable. Some kind of rotary spring on a watch gear.

[@GelOpsV2]

These are really reliable when you shave the firing pin down to make it more round even on grass, but a timed version would be awesome I can ask them about that 🫡

Where to buy?

[@StarLance83]

Are the schematics free for tests? could you send a link?

[@GelOpsV2]

They are not, can take a look at the product in their website in the description

Where can I buy the STL?

[@GelOpsV2]

It’s not available, the flashbang is available on there website though

[@wadewilson524]

Amazingly underwhelming.

[@GelOpsV2]

Have to disagree, they are great for indoor play and the cheapest option for useable pyros

[@charlieluna7237]

This is idential to Fulcrum's original design!! kzbin.info/door/M_Bc-k5RbfNkPF6SV0qpEA

[@GelOpsV2]

Similar but not exactly, they also don’t ship to the USA

as someone who has that grenade. its not the same.
