We are back with a vengeance!

After going dormant for a couple of months, we are happy to announce that we are back in action. Operational details and issues to our training business, as well as our RAM promotional efforts with various law enforcement and military units, had kept us from uploading updates to our website.

But now we are back, locked and loaded and with new videos, pics and products to fire off to all of you out there.

Our first new product makes its explosive entrance into the country by really making a big bang.

The Thunder B grenade by Hakkotsu and marketed in the Philippines by ATACS, is the newest addition to our simulation training gear.

Simply put, it is a safe, cost-effective, reloadable and reusable distration device that simulates the “bang” for dynamic entry scenarios. And its size approximates the dimensions of a real flashbang or fragmentation grenade.

How does it work? The Thunder B grenade is powered by a 12g disposable CO2 cylinder. The firing core, which is the reusable part the grenade, operates on a spring-engaged striker system that punctures the CO2 cylinder. The CO2 is then released into the plastic shell to create an overpressure effect that literally explodes the shell.

The resulting sound is approximately 120 decibels – think of a jet liner passing overhead or a little louder than a super lolo! That’s enough of a bang to make you jump.

Afterwards, all you need to do is unscrew the exploded shell, take out the spent CO2 cylinder, then replace both to have your Thunder B grenade ready for the next deployment - a process that takes less than 5 mins if you have the spare cylinder and spare shell.

And for the safety buffs out there, there is no shrapnel that flies out. The exploded shell stays connected to the firing core, which basically moves a couple of feet when it explodes.

But don’t just take our word for it – check it out and see how easy it is to deploy in the field. In the video below, the grenade shell is loaded with baby powder to create a visible blast effect.

The Thunder B grenade provides another level of realism to simulation training, plus excitement to recreational paintball and airsoft milsim games. Just load up a Thunder B, pull the pin and yell “fire in the hole!” on your next engagement.
