Re: AI tornado grenade
on paper they seem really good on the promo videos they look the mutts nutts.....in reality there are two things that let them down
1) they dont work very well in grassed areas....which means they need a solid flat surface to allow the bbs to fly out as the grenade rotates....the grass stops it spinning properly and restricts the bbs arc(isnt a problem in cqb)
2) the timer is really disapointing.....it has two settings 5 seconds and 1 second fuse(actully you can have zero seconds with a trip wire attached and the plug removed) but when it comes to the timer its totally hit and miss...you have no real idea when the grenade will go off..1 second is more like 11 seconds and 5 secs is more like 18 secs...and it gets even more tempremental the colder the grenade gets. this may be because the grenade i have been using is new and needs settling in...also it has to be lubricated on a regular basis after 3 or so uses, which can be tiresome,however when it does work properly its very impressive

Re: AI tornado grenade
The timer has never truely been right with the one I own- I think the longest was about a minute of waiting for it to go off.

the above links should answer some questions about the grenade.
there are two sides to the timing issues,half the posts state that the timing is very accurate,its all to do with temperature and lubrication,and letting the grenade settle for 5 minutes after loading,but there are another group who like me are having problems with irregular detonations, and it could be down to a simple procedure which is mentioned in the second link,i believe its to do with these two parts
Top Cap: Machined aluminum cap which provides timing delay functions
Delay Restrictor: Partially blocked opening in the TC which acts as a timebase for the grenade delay
