Dummy Grenades

bullets

Anyone know if you can get anything like this in Ireland
online ? Dont want to risk ordering some in case they get
seized:

M26 Dummy Grenade- USD 12.80

They used to sell them in a Dublin Army Surplus store and in Galway
but I have not seen any in years. I wanted a few just for show and to make
a nice display in my desk at work similar to

My understanding of it is that if its a dummy grenade, eg; not deactivated and never intended to blow up, there is nothing illegal about it.

kdouglas

sounds about right, if its just a dummy then it's basically just a lump of metal

Evolute

They are fake why would they be illegal?

Genghiz Cohen

But why would you want them?
Get the bb holder/gas canister shaped one.

du beton

any military show with stalls wil usually sell good metal replicas for about 20 euro.was at the show in the Curragh this summer with my bro, plenty of stuff like helmets and the like for sale.

if you had access to a lathe you could always try making one?
i made one in collage a few years ago but i wasnt into airsoft at the time so i didnt keep it. not too hard to do and it looked okay.

Masada

dunno weather they were selling these but this was in the RDS today.,

padmundo

Not for sale. They are real deactivated grenades and deactivated and blank firing replicas then across the table.

Masada

are blank firing replicas classed as illegal here then? i knew they were real live at one time but didnt think they would be illegal if they were deactivated.,

There not ilegal but you need a licence.

so illegal without one then? like say a shotgun would be.,
I thought they would been perfectly legal., (the granades at least).,
I thought i saw one of those BB bottles on here that someone painted with krylon paint and it looked pretty decent.,


EDIT, yep, its in this thread,

Saw and drooled over the de-activated bits and bobs at the RDS today.
You don't need a license for these but as far as I know you need a letter
of permission from the Local Super to have/own one.

Saw an FN and Bren and Gustaf all of which have a special place
in my heart having used them. The de-acts there today were
in very poor condition.

That bren had some kick off it when you cocked it and then pulled the trigger. I am sooooo getting one (for airsoft) from shootnscoot in Aberdeen, once my account recovers from the Inokatsu and the CA M15A4 Tac.

yeah i tried that aswell, and to think that was WITHOUT a bullet, god only knows what it would be like in action., even to hold the thing up for a while was a challenge.,lol

Holding it was grand. It's surprisingly light, weighing in at an apparent 14 pounds.

As for the recoil, I imagine with a live round, it'd be something fierce.

maybe because i had to hold it on my bad side, its designed for right handers, even the site aperture cant be used if you hold it left handed coz they put if on the left side of the gun so you can see past the mag.,
Im gonna be heading to vietnam sometime soon and will be getting to play with all this stuff with live rounds aswell.,:D

As a teenager I was on overnight tactics where I had to lug one of these
about the place with a 77 set (Radio) on my back. After a bit of running I
I could barely lift my legs over fences etc It was exausting.

As for firing real-steel its a dream. I found very little recoil off it
compared to other stuff I have fired. Due to the way you hold it,
being prone and firing 3 round bursts. LOVELY.
Got a pic of me firing one in 1994 here:

I'll shut of now as its veering towards real steel conversation
which is frowned upon here.
