The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

Hi guys.

Been asked to make some grenades for a friend.

Can anyone supply me with some decent pictures and hopefully dimensions?

Thankyou.

On 2nd thought, you're right! I'm both shocked and appalled! Help yourself to my recognition manual instead... Ian's listed himself as an Engineer in his occupation, I'm sure he can figure the rest. :lol:

Hey Dom, that would be cool if they had CN20 grenades!
(just goofing around). :P
Anyway, nice chart.

Actually, I've always thought that the shape of an Axe Body Spray might make a good prop for then CN20...

Sand down the paint... add a nifty label and voilà!

Hi all

Me and chum also thought about the CN20 nerve gas making a good grenade so had a bash at making one about a fortnight ago.

We sort of designed it while trying to incorporate a working function theory behind it to indicate how it would work.

We made the below item, and the theory on how its works is as follows.

Fires like a normal grenade, but the entire black caplet shoots off and is set off when the red tip is depressed by whatever it hits.
At this point the gas would spray out the series of holes round the base. We also printed up a little warning sticker just for looks. :)

ps, due to my chum having a love of RPG's we are making a RPG grenade as well. its a sort of miniature looking RPG head,
with tiny little stabilising fins, in working theory these would pop out once clear of the barrel to stabilise flight.
(To be honest we have far too much spare time.)
