I've heard crappy things about paint grenades and was weary to buy them but ended up purchasing two of these. I was playing in an urban environment and I through one through a window into a building full of opponents. It got all of them. Needless to say it defied my expectations. Later I threw the second one and it detonated fine as well. I had absolutely no problem with this. I'd even purchased them two weeks before hand so I know they're reliable even after having been stored for extended periods of time. Excellent product. I'd recommend to anyone who was interested in a more realistic paintball experience.

From what I've heard and seen the Tippmann Squadbuster is Co2-powered. You have to remove the mesh netting and pull off the cap. You also have to shake it for a good five minutes or so before throwing it. And also when you throw it, you have to throw it hard.

I bought one of these at my local sporting goods store, just to try it out. For this, it says all you have to do is pull the pin and throw. I threw it overhand off a deck about 20 feet high and 50 feet away. It hit the ground and bounced back up forcefully and sprayed paint in around a 20 feet radius. After it was done, I examined it. The grenade is similar to a thick-skinned water balloon. Therefore what drives the "explosion" is just the built up tension from the expansion of the "balloon". I haven't tried throwing it underhand or just tossing it a short distance on level ground, but that's why I'm getting more of these. ;)

My two sons loved this as an add on with their paint guns and paint balls that I purchased for them. When I took them to their favorite place to go paint balling. One of my sons first thru his without pulling the pin, and then ran after it to get it back. Then he said it was kinda hard to pull it out. But he got it after a short while. Then my other son did the same, he never pulled his pin and then lost it. He wasn't sure where it went since its almost the same color as grass. So remember to tell whomever you buy this for, to pull the pin.

THIS THING IS A PIECE OF JUNK!!!!!!!! DO NOT WASTE YOUR $$$$$ ON IT.......i pulled the pin and nothing happened after 5 minutes of just sitting there holding it in my hand i gave up hope so i threw it away next morining i went out to look to see if it had done anything and there was a huge splat of paint inside my trash can (witch was bout 12 hrs)
