 Simple, durable and professional-looking bomb-prop with multiple customizable modes for airsoft, paintball and gelsoft games.
From events to individual teams this prop will fit any two-team scenario.

Description

This version 2 is the evolution of our very well accepted prop that's been spicing up games all over the world! Featuring a much faster, more precise MCU and completely rewritten firmware this prop just got even better.

Our bomb prop is intended for games with two teams and features a minimalistic design that is small and functional enough to be used in many applications. This device was made for independent teams playing among themselves in mind without a referee as well as game organizers seeking something better which also doesn’t confuse the players.

Intuitive menu navigation allows you to setup the prop in a matter of seconds with five modes to choose from:

  • Defusal. For that classic Police vs. Terrorists match. It can be played with either a code up to 6 digits long or just buttons to arm/disarm the prop.
  • Domination. To battle for points using the buttons to capture the control of a bomb.
  • Zone Control. For bigger games to capture the object and score without a time limit.
  • Game Timer. For simple deathmatches that require no interaction with the prop.
  • Respawn Timer. Control how often players can respawn to control the game flow.

By using standard off-the-shelf components we made the design simple to repair if something breaks​.

Details

Siren

To announce the start and end of a match our prop uses a 110 dB siren, it is very loud and can be heard from far away. Sound level can be changed in the settings menu where you can choose from three different settings: Low (90dB), Medium (100dB) or High (110dB)

Case

The case is made of flexible PP according to IP55 protection class and provides care-free carrying (the inner bracket and electronics inside are not water or dust proof!). It has resilient locking clamps that are resistant to impact. The case can also be locked with up to two padlocks to introduce additional objectives into the game.

Battery

This prop is sold without a battery, but accepts any regular airsoft AEG battery with a Deans connector that fits into the dedicated battery compartment. With fully a charged 1100 mAh 11.1v LiPo battery it can work for about 20 hours without remote communication. Using a battery alarm is recommended to prevent deep discharging (this gadget is not included in the package).

Manual

Each bomb prop is provided with an instruction manual, which is also available online.

Footprint

Dimensions: 23 x 19 x 11 cm (9 x 7.4 x 4.3 inches). It fits easily into a medium assault-pack. It weighs about 1.5 kg (3.30 lbs) (without a battery) therefore it can also be attached to any backpack or a tactical vest using straps or carabiners.

Tamper-resistant

The software and hardware design was made in a way to prevent accidental resets as much as possible.

Designed by players for players collaborating with game organizers.
