    The Kings arms ones are not so good from what i read on other forums. I use the 120 classic army grenades and I have yet to encounter any problems. I think Mad bull and classic army are considered good value

    This is what I'm wondering, why are king arms so cheap then, less parts, poorer materials, sh1t seals on o-rings?

    Is it a grenade that may be problematic or one thats completely unworkable?

    What are their issues, there are surprisingly few google results for reviews, at least for me.

    I think its the general sealing they leek allot I say its the o rings. I found virtually no results when searching for any grenades

    O-rings though, the bread and butter of parts, are everywhere.

    Dex even mentioned one of the ways they can be engorged with clutch fluid, to give a better seal, grease surely would help too.

    Depending on what is actually wrong with them, they could be easily made usable.

    If it is the o rings it should be easily fixed alright but if it isnt then what?

    It's mad, grenades are supposed to be a very simple device yet only a few brands are decent

    If I had a definite answer, ie they were cast rather than machined (they are machined afaik) it would make sense.

    If it is bad quality control, loose dimensions, then the seals could be altered slightly afterwards to get them to work.

    Its frustrating the absence of reviews too.

    I've used Classic Army, Madbull, G&P and King Arms. Madbull and CA are the ones to go with - I've had no issues with the

    The G&P and KA ones were leaky as hell...changing O rings didnt help - it seemed to be the seams/threads/whatever you call em.

    King Arms ones are fine, just need a bit of work to get them working perfectly. There's a guide on Arnies somewhere of it.

    Madbull ones are the best by quite a long way.

    Grease the threads, replace the o-rings job?

    I'll google that now thanks.
