m203 - how do you stop bbs from falling out of grenades

Arkslippy

I just got one and I'm wondering how to stop bbs from falling out of the grenade when its being carried. Or am I missing something here.

What grenade round do you have?
There should be an o ring or some small metal puns at the end of each bb tube that stops them rolling out

the o rings never where reliable for me and some grenades like the px4 from madbull just do not have them , i normally went with cling film and an elastic band or masking tape

I use S Thunder shells and find that packing tape placed tightly over the opening works really well.

It's 96 Round ones. They are all plastic with 12 small bores and a fill port in the top. Id been thinking of the cling film idea too, but do you remove before loading or does it just get shredded . The grenades are ribbed so the band wouldn't snag.

i used tape on my px4 aswell when i first got it but a cotton ball actually works even better.and no need to mess around making sure the tape isnt too strong etc.

and the px4 actually has retention pins but they are sized for paintballs.

are you sure there is no o-ring?
if its a case of it being too loose, you could fit a smaller one.

Packing tape and cling film get shredded when you fire the grenade. cotton wool works well with the s thunders

Thanks guys, going to try the cling film. Has to be said, the 203 is seriously good fun.

Salaas

It is, though it makes the gun a bit top heavy and off balance.
I'm working on fixing that though. :P

Its always nice to rush a room and fire the grenade taking out everyone. You always get this dazed confused look as they try to figure out what happened.

T4RGET

had the same problem are you sure you're pushing them down? the O-ring is a good bit down, get a allen key or something similar and push the BB's down I advice 2 in each hole, it says 96 but the more BB's you put into it the smaller the distance you get

I'm going to try a lighter load alright, maybe 4 instead of the 8 per tube.

I did notice it fires noticeably further with a quick Sharp pull on the trigger rather than a normal pull.

And yes, Im experimenting too much.
