GRID 18: REDUX Grenade Rules

[Matt]

GRENADE RULES

- Grenades can be simulated with non-metal "soft" dummy grenade, training flashbang and distraction devices, manufactured Airsoft fragmentation grenade devices such as the Tornado, or a foam projectile from an M203 launcher.

- If a grenade lands in a bunker or observation post you occupy, you have been hit and should call "HIT" as if being hit by a BB - EVEN IF the device doesn't produce a blast of BBs.

- Since it's hard to gauge distances, Grenades should not be used in open areas, but rather as bunker clearing devices.

- Grenades cannot be picked up and thrown back at the enemy. To keep it simple, once a dummy grenade lands it has detonated - you are hit.

- ABSOLUTELY NO HOMEMADE PYRO IS ALLOWED

- DO NOT USE distraction devices, training flashbangs or other devices in the parking lot or camping areas. They must only be discharged in the field during gameplay.

- SMOKE: Non-pyro smoke can be used as cover, and may also be used by admins to mark specific targets, extraction points, or objectives.

do we need official smoke grenades? or can we use those plastic ones they sell for 4th of July? you know the ones shaped like a frag grenade but just produce copious amounts of smoke

[shakespeare]

Aren't those pyro? My buddy has a couple and he needs a match to light them.

[Mini-Marine]

might there be a window of opportunity for someone to jump on a grenade before it "detonates"

[Byrd]

no they have new ones that have a string, no matches required but i think it shoots out a bit of flame... I'll have to take a look

[kozzie]

I've been waiting to see what you guys were going to do with the grenade rule. I think this will work out for everyone.

and I think what your thinking of are those little TnT fireworks, the smoke balls, they work but you have to lite them and they are not that effective in the open, with no wind the smoke goes right up and its not very thick

We will have to see what the weather does, if fire season does not allow it then we can't have anything that produces a flame. The non-pyro smoke doesn't produce a flame or pose a serious fire hazard.

Nope. It lands, then it goes boom. Had we REQUIRED grenades that shoot BBs, I would allow this, but since those grenades are unreliable and not always effective - this is what we got.

Non-pyro = Marine Smokes

You can pick them up at most sporting goods stores or boating stores.

2 questions for gernades.

1: If you become a prisoner and have a gernade on you, can you use it to commit suicide and take out the people around u?

2: Do you have to yell fire in the hole or something of that manor?

1. No

2. No. But it might be a good idea in case you want to warn your team.
