Building these traps is quite easy and fast but will they work?
When creating actual boobytraps using grenades typically you would unscrew the top of the grenade then remove the fuze leaving only the primer and detonator so it explodes instantly.
Why do you know this?

Just like that, u get added to a wait list
@@darrenpreston9102 you mean watchlist right
This is a certified vc moment
For me, i find booby traps aren't very effective because you rely on the honor of others. If no one is around to see them die, will they call it? I sadly find most won't.
Well, this guy had a camera in front of them so he's in a slightly different situation that your average airsofter.
@@fanta4897 I agree completely! I'm thinking more along the lines of large, long, milsim events, where most won't sit around and watch their traps. But, it would be GREAT, for overnight camping events.
Iv been doing this for years and yes at first I made those errors but using them as means of protecting yourself like rigging it close by like the entrance to a bunker and the using the bunker as a fire position is effective and similar use indoors you could rig a few rooms ahead of your position so if contacts get to close boom Iv even had it rigged in a corridor and I’m holding the other end of the line waiting for enemy players to come plus using a tin can with the grenade inside it is miles more effective removing pin put grenade in tin which holds the spoon and tie the line to the grenade doesn’t fail

These are really effective however most fields ban this or highly restrictive this due to the injury rate, people could easily trip over it and fall over and injure themselves or give them a reaction to panic and fall over, in my field its allowed, however it has to be a fishing line that is brightly colored and at chest level
That makes sense. Guys could be running around and tripping on fishing lines
what's the point if its brightly coloured and nearly at eye level.
@@UNDERCOVER_E Well, one purpose is to block a path. Players must crouch under the trap or try to disarm it somehow. But yeah, kinda pointless
@@UNDERCOVER_E so people dont trip over and fall over and actually injure themselves…
@@cool248dj the whole purpose of a trap is to be undetected, and if its bright colored and at eye level then it serves no purpose
With some grenades you should take the fuze out of the grenade so there no delay then take the ping out but kept the spoon held together so there's less pressure and less noticeable when people walk over it.
How do you know this 🧐

If you want good ideas for traps, look into the Fallout 3 and 4 grenade traps.
Easy to make and actually effective

tip for other peeps looking to set traps without accidentally causing airsofters to trip over your traps:
find camping stakes n pegs because you can put those by a wall or larger thing and tie the fishingline or what not onto it OR putting a thunder-B on it to allow the thunderB to blow without potentially damaging anything but the camping peg
Best way is to push your opponent with a volume of fire to the trap, especially if your opponent is more worry about cover than looking before stepping. Ambushes is the most common way to use boobytraps.
I have 2 questions:
1. What is the experience of playing with a boxing mouthguard?
2. When does the plate carrier come out and can it be preordered?
there are other types of booby traps with grenades you can make,
1. pull the pin and put the armed grenade inside a soda cup (like those in mcdonalds) one end of the string to the grenade and the other to the cup
2. you could do a small knot that holds the spoon and tie it so it lets go of the spoon, this will make it easier to set up traps and lower the risk of accidentally setting them off
Glass containers like jars is a very good method, place them in locations where a door opens or a window, when they fall the jar will break and release the handle
@@rangetpc could also work but the crash would alert the enemy and the spoon might not release unless the whole bottle/jar breaks
I think they make colored smoke grenades that'd work perfectly for little low tech warning system against flanking opponents.
With the advent of pyrotechnic grenades with an active bracket in the CIS countries, milsim games have moved to a new level. They mine quite a lot, stretch marks - grenades, pressure mines, remote control mines. Any pile of garbage can be dangerous. Manufacturers of pyrotechnics act according to requests, make grenades with a small delay, mines for tripwires (instantly work), remote control mines. The blogger Black Winter Airsoft told a lot about the methods of mining in airsoft.
all for that realisting Iraq experience
Are these actually safe..? I don’t know anything about explosives but it seems dangerous to have them be exploding in any way… Even firecrackers can blow fingers off
@@DingDongDaddyFromDumas Firecracker will blow your fingers off only if you squeeze it. if it will explode on the open hand (no pressure from finger) you will only get slight burn mark like if you touched that spot of a hand with a lit match.
@@ladyofthedarkmoonlotus depends on the firecracker... if he lit up sum big mofo firecracker (like those "Achtung!" ones that are the size of a soda can) then of course it would do significant damage. Plus those big ones are no longer firecrackers but actual grenades in a sense (given the power fo explosion)
@@ladyofthedarkmoonlotus In Russia, there is a widespread restriction on the power of firecrackers in grenades. In addition, game organizers require the use of only state-certified pyrotechnic products that guarantee safety. There are videos where contact grenades explode when hit in the head. It is very unpleasant, but not dangerous.
Its easier if u use an old can so it holds the spoon and make it so the wire pulls it out the can . Great video
Ah yes. Just like vietnam
@@seanmessick9330 Russians are doing that now in Ukraine
@@seanmessick9330 I use them like that in ambushes in outdoor games then me and my squad finish off anyone not hit by the trap. another upside is that if nothing happens and you need to move on you can disarm the trap and take it with you by putting the pin back in.
Might work if the grenade was round like a western-style "baseball" grenade. Don't think it would work otherwise.
@@jeffburnham6611 oh ye it would vc did this trick many times with rgd-5 and f-1 grenades during the vietnam war and still used to this day
2:17 "You put it in front of the muzzle... You haven't watched the Academy huh?" (I received my SSR90 & went over that exact briefing yesterday😆)
You can also use a tin can pull the pin on the grenade and carefully insert it into the can, make sure you tie a string to the grenade itself before hand
2:26 ´´you see ivan if you hold gun like this you shoot more acuratly for fear of hitting fingars
only hit fingers twice so far... still have 8 left´´
I was gonna comment this lmao
I love how every video Novritsch makes has such a creative idea
That's not noverstich he works there and makes content for the channel but doesn't own Noverstich
It’s been done for decades old ideas Iv been doing this and better ways for over 6 years tin can is the best way
This is the content i’ve been waiting for.
Man everytime I watch this gun in action I want it that much more, I was hoping there were an easter coupon for the ssr90 so I could afford it along with my other items but ah well. Booby traps are satisfying when they work.
I usually don't comment on most videos, but watching your content has forced my hand; You are so amazingly good at airsoft that it almost makes me want to try it. I love your videos.
Tip for p90 users, get more training on not covering your muzzle with your hand under stress. (Although it should be muscle memory the moment you touch any type of gun) Invest in a suppressor, or don't use the p90 at all if you still don't stop shooting your hand and never fire a real steel firearm.
Tip for P90 users : your non-trigger hand goes in/on the loop with the thumb hole , nowhere else . Correct hand position = zero chances of committing suicide .
And consider yourself lucky it's only Airsoft , those accidents have happened in real life .
@@Tomcat_Coyote Yep, that should all be muscle memory. These accidents definitely have happened some time in real life and it is really bad. You can end up hitting an artery and that is fatal.
@@Tigerprowltactical I wouldn't even call it muscle memory , it's plain and simple improper handling of the weapon . If you hold a knife by the blade , don't be surprised if you cut yourself , same thing . I've had the Tokyo Marui P90 for almost 10 years now ( it's an old baby ) and i've never come close to shooting myself with it once .
And yes , it has happened with the real deal as well , confirmed to me by a former Belgian paracommando . Training gone wrong with people not overly familiar with the weapon , as its use is not widespread .
@@Tomcat_Coyote I agree, it shouldn't even be a muscle memory thing. It is a you should know it from the beginning and is basic gun knowledge.
@@Tigerprowltactical That's like saying "You should know to eat to stay alive." Muscle memory is instinct. Instant thought and reaction. That's the whole point of "knowing" something and acting on it ASAP without delay.
Just make sure you drill in the correct thought. When muscle memory goes wrong that's when fear and hesitation tends to lead to mistakes. It's not just what people do. It's what people don't do. If you have a habit with A and it's counter productive then train yourself out of it. Reverse logic also applies. If it takes "Muscle power" then it's still a training process. Those that have the instinct and act without or little thought mastered how to adapt in the area. Regardless of what said area is.
Either way I'd still slap a suppressor on a P90. All it takes is one bad day with a foggy mindset to forget for a moment. Besides, there's multiple other beenfits to it as well. The only downside I can think of is the silencer getting caught on something.
A big tip when throwing grenades, do not whip them through the air, they have enough mass to stay airborne when thrown more accurately. Try using more of a catapult type method next time, I guarantee you’ll be more accurate. 😁
I’ve been doing this for 4 years now, I mostly use the Thunder B Co2 trip wires but I have used Tag 67s before
For realistic gameplay such type of grenades are great and you can set double grenade traps that surround the enemy with explotions or set a trap that will activate the grenade that will explode in the room in which enemy will try to escape when the wire is activated.
if you need more effectivness there is a type of grenades that are called "booby-trap" grenades - they explode instantly after activating.

The speed that he acquires and eliminates targets is equal parts terrifying and impressive. One smooth operator.
I cant wait for the plateCarrier
The answer to your question is: They are very, very effective if they're properly set and the right tipe of grenade is used.
The way placed them wasn't the best one for the very same reason you noticed: The delay of the explosion. When setting up a booby trap, you have to consider 2 things: Where the target is going to trip and where he/she is going to be when the device will explode. Booby traps are almost always meant to kill by chance, not by targeting specific targets. If you plan to use them in a defensive fashion (e.g. Area denial), you should either change you tactics or set them off manually (Or both). with a 3.5 sec delay fuse, he has up to 2.5 secs to react. A couple interesting fact about delayed booby traps actuatted by trip wires: Most people who hit a trip wire tend to stop retract or withdraw from the area where the trap was actually set - not going towards it.Just like it happened in your video in both cases. In the first the guy slowed down to see what the hell he hit and got blasted, the second guy hit it and withdraw the moment he realised what it was. And you missed it.
Hint: Next time, place the grenade on the spot their supposed to withdraw to (Above their heads, so there are less chances they will notice it while in the rush) and the trip wire in the direction they are supposed to go to attack you. Use a heavy duty trip wire so they can feel it and react (the wrong way). They will end up either tripping on it or stopping just above the the grenade their heads.
To make booby traps effective you have to understand the psychology of how to entice the enemy to hurry in pursuit of you. As this will make them careless and be distracted to any type of booby traps. To be effective with enemy combatants you need to have a distraction of sorts to get the enemy to look in a different direction from your traps. If your using grenades they usually have a delayed fuse of 3 to 5 seconds depending on the manufacture of the grenade. That’s why you test the batch as to determine the actual fuse delay before setting your trap. For grenades with a fuse you want to give the time for the pin pull and the fuse burn. That is why when using grenades a lot of times you want the trap to be above the heads of the combatants. And use the free fall of the height to give the grenade time to pull and the fuse to burn. Have distraction items like a dropped magazine or a battery pack or a dropped can of BBS that will entice the combatants to look at the item as they walk through the kill zone. Make them want to walk through your zone with something that they think they can use against you or that you carelessly dropped and think your at a disadvantage. You don’t hav3 to have a trip wire always sometimes you can be inventive and use a disturbing type of trip like pressure plates or fall devices that actually trip the wire for you. This makes everyday items seem harmless but effective against combatants. Enjoyed your game play. Keep it up and look forward to your next broadcast. Semper Fi, USMC.
Fucking cringe
I'll keep this in mind for if i ever do airsoft
The P90 trigger hole is an odd double circle for a reason, it's for your thumb to go through just in front of the trigger finger. If you hold the P90 correctly as intended, you won't ever blow your hand off. I see soo many people who are completely oblivious to the thumb hole that it's made it into some videogames and movies. Bugs me juuuuust a lil bit xD
Hahaha should maybe make the barrel a bit longer so you don't get people shooting their own fingers. Keep up the amazing work with the vids and gear/guns you guys use
i am actually suprised how your czech sounds natural!
This is truely the F2P vs. P2W experience, just airsoft version. Maybe someone should open up a "in-game store" next time a airsoft game is hosted.
These new DayZ graphics are getting too realistic! Lol great video
I've heard some czech in the background am i right?
Hi novritsch I bought your ssr90 with all the equipment I need for it I used it today and it was a real machine I love your vids man keep up the good work also I’m a swat officer and we use the p90 a lot so yeah I’m saying this cuz I heard about your briefing
Kdo kouká z Česka, řekl na začátku bacha?
the fire rate of your ssr is really amazing
7:26 anyone noticed his teeth
Me
Thats teeths protection for boxers he don't take mask on😂
2:06 It makes me happy that this guy called the hit even though nobody was around. It also seemed like he didn't know the camera was there.
While grenades can be very effective the ethical use of a Pyro mine is questionable. For designated fields you can argue that if it fails to go off if another person walks into it they will have eye protection. Even then there are times where you have a “Dead Field” where people don’t wear masks. If you are playing in a part time field or a game in an abandoned place you should not. While they can held and change the game I think they are to only be flash devices at the most and each player needs to track each one and disarm after each round before leaving the field.
I like that you can hear the improvement in his English through each of his videos
And now, punji stakes!
U should try grenade traps with a pipe instead of relying on a string to pull the pin. They used to use old bazooka tubes for this. But any pipe that's large enough to hold a grenade and it's spoon closed will do. Carefully pull the pin, then slip it inside the pipe so it stays assembled. Then put the pipe over a doorway or up in a tree out of sight. And rig a trip wire that will make the pipe fall from one end, but have the other end stay held up. This way it dumps one or more grenades down on top of the enemy. It eats up some of the time needed for them to blow also. It usually takes around a second for them to land on the ground, then the enemy has to realize wtf is going on also lol. By then they're blowing up. This method works best because pins are actually harder to pull than many think
Effectively not allowed at any field I've ever been to.
Thanks for keeping me entertained over the years. :)
I have been trying to brainstorm a cool gadget for use in airsoft but I can’t think of anything practical. So far I think a squad support ammo/water dispensing backpack would be good, or some kind of deployable barricade (NOT A SHIELD!) for supporting advancing teammates. Or a grappling hook but instead it’s a camera that you can use to see inside hostile areas.
How about a device that can launch bbs from a far distance to take enemies out from afar and it relatively silent?
@@santi_super_stunts2573 like... a sniper rifle?
@@Atreeperday what’s that?
ive been loving the content for years! you are such a legend
If you're a sniper, using the traps to stop you from getting flanked while camping sounds like a good idea. Plus it's a good warning where the enemy is pushing from. 🤔
My advice for using this grenade is boobytraps ist to put them into a can like Coca-Cola can put out the Splint and put the grenade on the fishing line so the enemy will pullout the whole Granate out of the Coca-Cola can and the fishing line will wrap the grenade around his leg so he has no chance to get away. Works every time
7:39 see his teeth
What I think would make it effective is to put the grenades behind the trigger, sorta.
So basically, instead of the enemy walking ahead and being blown up for a few seconds you could have them trigger it, they notice and back up, then get blown up back before the trigger.
My first airsoft gun was a $50 gravity feed p90 so it only makes sense for me to get the SSR90. I have never seen a cooler airsoft gun hands down
thanks for the idea, my great gramps has a few extra nades from the war so I'll try this out soon
Are those grenades actually throwing shrapnel? That looks excessively dangerous for an airsoft game.
No they are TAG grenades. They explode like the real thing without the harmful shrapnel
@@Mi3k15 so can the grenade casing be used again or are they 1 time use?
Your vids are just getting better and better
The effectiveness depends on the honesty of the individual.
I am a simple man, I see RGD-5, i likem. Speaking of then, the trip wire doesn't pull the pin. You cut safety pin and lube it or you pull the pin and out the grenade somewhere what blocks the the lever and the tripwire just drops the grenage and sets the lever free.
8:10 GAY MAN!
I used to make mine out of rat traps and pull-string party poppers (filled with bb's and baby powder). Makes a loud pop, has a smoke/area of effect marking with powder and streamers, and about 100 to 150 bb's gently flung at the enemy lol They worked great and I made them at $3 a piece 😎👍
7:27 Now i know why he is so good at it - he is a vampire!)))
I can’t wait till next week at Ballahack when I get to meet you and Chris/Novritsch. You guys already have my patch, so you have to run with me ☺️ Would be awesome 😎
Great video love your guys content see ya bye I have the ssp1 and I am getting a suppressor and some cami gear and gun covers for my stuff so love you guys things see ya
7:27 are you wearing vampire teeth you found at walmart
Just found this channel thanks lots of good info and entertaining as well keep up the good work.
Man, I’ve watched you since 200,000 and I still can’t figure out how you come up with these ideas
The ssr90 : effective against enemies and yourself
6:34-6:37 thats was awesome :D
For the next video you should have like security cameras in the building (if rules allow) to see enemy positioning.
you know even if they don't get hit by the trap, the fact that it's loud is still good information. it's like an alarm
In the Vietnam war, it was common that grenades usually fit perfectly inside a food can with the spoon inside too, that way you could take the pin out completely and tie the string around the grenade. that way it was a lot less likely to blow up in your face
You have the coolest guns ever! If I had the money, I would definetly buy them!
Love your videos
i made a claymore out of a mousetrap, ducktape over the swingy part, and some electrical wire tied to it and stapled to the bottom to prevent it from swinging all the way closed, works ok if people don't see it
The Greek Flag on one scene got me to love you even more
more of these man There great!
Pepo, tvoje angličtina se značně zlepšila 💪😎
Lot of fields not allowing trip-wires .. because of bad reputation of "strong wires", where it not pull apart and player fell on the ground because of it, or because trap exploded into face ... sad.. in these days its hard to find place to use hand pyro .. its too dry and organisators are afraid of fire (and it really happens a lot :D )
Thank you Novritsch for making the best P90
Empty tin can is most effective removing pin and tie the line to the grenade with it inside the tin holds the spoon so when the line is pulled the grenade is pulled out the tin can releasing the spoon this what the Vietnam-is did to the Americans I have used this method many time can camouflage the tin brown zip ties can be setup quickly as you don’t have to mess about trying to rig the pin just pull pin slot in can tie the other end to what ever twig in the ground branchs door hands whatever opening you want iv used the indoor with a brick to holding the can and couple of spins around a door handle works a treat won’t take much to pull the grenade out
7:26 HE GOT THEM SHARK TEETH
lepsi je klasickej hrachovej granat - natahnout kabel navrtem do petardy a pripojit / pridat baterku - mezi spoj dat kousek papiru pripevneny k lanku - jakmile je papirek odstranen spoj secvakne a vybuch je okamzity ;) ( da se pouzit treba pruzinka z propisky pro spoj )
Is no one gonna talk about his sharp teeth?
07:29 he got vampire teeths
Novritsch is the best airsoft sniper
Kapkan traps for air soft would be awesome for this game mode
heres an idea: put 2 grenades, and have the normal string to pull the pin. also have another string to pull the grenades, and have them drag them with them
Not really related to airsoft but I was in a match of paint ball for the first time and it was the third and final round and I was shaking with fear and felt like PTSD (probs not) but seeing novirtsch heavily breathing reminds me of that day and panic is probably going through his head too, but it may just be me.
The spoon is a big factor on throwing. But a trip wire is a good idea if you make your timing right
If you pull the pun while holding the spoon.....it will make the path sketchy. If you release the spoon. And then throw it
..much better aim. ( I use these products at walk on games for reffrence)
Yesssss a new video
Putting a booby trap is a big brain play. NICE!
where do you get info about upcoming airsoft games?
Was that gun you were using a P90?
You should retry this but instead of tying the line to the pin, tie it around the head of it without the pin but have it inside a can with the pin removed, it’ll yank the grenade out and release the spoon when tripped
thank you for using this safer version of the trap NOVRITSCH, now I know how to build it with a real grenade.
That weapon is wild
Hey Novritsch, riesen Fan, wegen dir hab ich auch zum spielen angefangen, ....wollt nur fragen wo denn das Feld ist das ihr da bespielt, schaut echt echt geil aus
it should be used aggressively, when you hear the pin get pulled, swim them, even if you get gunned down the grenade will take the re frag
this video was a banger litterally
2:26 I have a 9mm Sig MPX, (very easy to get your index finger in front of the muzzle) I guess there's more motivation knowing you cannot make a mistake with live rounds
There's a reason a lot of people use vertical grips or grip stops on short firearms. Less chance of horrendous accidents.
Oh, you can make a mistake...
But you cant make it twice.
@@DH-xw6jp This. Stating you can't make a mistake only makes it more likely to make it. Not less. Besides that it's a matter of honesty. With yourself before others.
You CAN make a mistake. Knowing you can means you know the danger. This is how you prepare.
