Grenade button stuck

Buds and Suds · May 25th, 2008, 23:33

I have 3 madbull grenades that use the button reset. After 2 days of gaming all 3 of my shells wont reset now cause the buttons are stuck, or just wont trigger the reset inside no matter how many times I try. I was going to take one apart but im not sure what id be getting myself into. Ideas?

What do you mean button reset exactly? Do you mean you press the bottom in and it comes back out again, and they're not doing that?

In that case, screw open the grenade a half or full turn, and close it again. Should reseat it and fix your problem.

Well, one of the buttons sticks half way in and I have to give it a little slap to unstick it. The other 2 grenades push in, but dont go that "extra bit" further that resets the nade. I tried turning the nade a full rotation and no difference. If I took it apart will I need replacement parts right away? ie seals?

push it in all the way, then align it with the hole at the back so it CAN come back, then just unscrew the back half of the shell a bit until you hear it click into place. I don't know why they do this but this always fixes the problem for me.

check the oring on the main valve (cone shaped). my hp108's will occasionally have that unseat adn drop to the very bottom which keeps it from resetting fully and venting the co2 as you fill.

duckman is right, i use the xm108s as well and i find if it gets stuck, just unscrew the nade from its base, reinsert the parts and reassemble and your good to go.

problem fixed, took them apart and the seal around the cone had come 1/2 off. After reinstalling again all 3 work as they should. Learned a valuable lesson about keeping my hand over the bottom 1/2 of the grenade as suddenly the cone and bearings shot off thier spring. Thanks for the help.
