I don't know if this fits here or not, but I think they're kind of cool.

I've often wondered what these cap grenades sound like when they go off

That's quite some flash too isn't it

Phobus mentioned sometime ago he used to set booby traps around the house with these to frighten the cat

This is made by Japanese toygun maker JAC about 20years ago, maybe.
Other M26A1 type existed.

Afterwards, JAC went bankrupt.
I don't know where the mold is.
Occasionally, this is seen on internet auction in Japan.

To Cerwyn

Thanks for information.
But...too expensive!
If my memory is certain, I bought this only 600yen.

I recalled when I was a student, the senior came to my apartment.
I set a booby trap using this in the rest room by the joke.

He was seriously angry.

ok now I am confused... I love that but where does that fall on the VCRA?

600 Yen

Prices over here are much higher for everything modelgun related. Even buying direct from Japan has become much more expensive for us now thanks to the poor value of Sterling.

I bet the victim of your booby trap was very seriously angry

Good question jon

I don't know to be honest, is a toy grenade classed as a Realistic Imitation Firearm

They shouldn't be covered as it is all about firearms

From wikipedia (yes i know wikipedia is sometimes wide of the truth mark

)

Quote:

A firearm is a device, often designed to be used as a weapon, which projects either single or multiple projectiles at high velocity through a controlled explosion

grenades, mines, bombs etc should be OK Question

but didn't the VCR change some of the rules around blank rounds Question
