Pyrotechnic, Explosive & Dangerous Goods Disclaimer

Part 1: Important Safety & Usage Guidelines

Attention: It is very important that you read these instructions carefully and thoroughly before any use is attempted. Pyrotechnic and blank firing
products are not toys, and should always be treated with care, and as if dangerous, even when unloaded.
What follows is important safety and usage instructions about your product and use thereof. If at any point you are in any doubt about the safe use, storage
or applications of your product seek advice directly from us before use.
General Guidance
No pyrotechnic, explosive, or blank firing device is permitted to be purchased by (or attempted to be purchased by) anyone under the age of 18.
No pyrotechnic, explosive, or blank firing device should be used by (i.e. given to) anyone under the age of 18.
No pyrotechnic, explosive, or blank firing device will be exported outside of the UK.
No pyrotechnic, explosive, or blank firing device will be sold to anyone who has not, in advance of any purchase, signed and returned to us a copy of this
agreement and disclaimer which will be held on file in accordance with Data Protection regulations for any future pyrotechnic purchases you make with
us.
The pyrotechnic, explosive, or blank firing devices we sell are for recreational purposes only, specifically for use in airsoft wargames at professional
skirmish venues.
Storage & Transportation
Store carefully, ensuring that the striker cap is properly secured to the body of the unit and cannot be removed or dislodged. We recommend storing in a
strong, fireproof, metal container with only one pyrotechnic in each compartment.
Never transport or carry these products in pockets.
Never carry a friction or ignitable pyrotechnic with the striker cap loose in the same pouch or container. Always carry with the striker firmly attached until
ready for immediate use. Take great care that the striker cap is protected at all times. You should therefore choose a location that will not be crushed or
impacted. Keep away from your head area at all times. Frequently check that the striker is undamaged.
Never carry an electric pyrotechnic in the same pouch as the ignition source i.e. the battery or another electrical source. Always carry them both safely
and separately.
At all times keep away from high temperatures and away from direct sunlight.
At all times keep away from children and minors, old persons, and persons who are unaware of the application of the product.
For electrically ignited products, keep away from sources of electricity. Ensure you have discharged yourself and your equipment of any static electricity
before handling electrical devices.
Never use or carry any pyrotechnic product in a public place. Never use near a public place or use/carry in sight of a public place.
Blank Firing / Cold Burn / No Flame Pyrotechnics
Only use approved blank rounds.
Never use any blank round over 9mm.
Never use 12g (12 gauge shotgun) rounds.
For the blank firing grenade, ensure grenade is properly primed and safety pin is securely fitted, and the top of the grenade handle is being held against
the body of the grenade thus preventing the grenade handle from triggering the firing pin before inserting any blank round.
After priming, we recommend allowing a minimum amount of 30 seconds before loading a round into the top of the grenade, using the adaptor supplied.
Ensure the top of the grenade is securely screwed on to the body of the grenade, using the correct adaptor supplied.
Hold handle into/against grenade body at all times prior to pulling the pin. When pin is pulled from grenade, throw away instantly. Only release the handle
on the grenade as it is leaving your hand in a throw.
Always throw underarm, in a controlled manner.
Never throw at, or near, another person or animal. Never throw indiscriminately. Choose your target area wisely and safely, having first surveyed the
intended area to ensure it is not combustible.
We suggest wearing protective clothing including gloves and eye protection before handling these products.

Electrical Pyrotechnics
Keep away from sources of electricity. Ensure you are discharged before handling these products.
Electrical pyrotechnics do not require a high amount of voltage to detonate. They should therefore be handled individually, and kept away from any
electrical source or other powered devices at all times.
Electrical pyrotechnics will detonate instantly when electric current is passed through the wires on the device.
Set up your device in a safe, properly signed area, where persons unaware can not accidentally enter into a danger zone.
Never set-up or use any device near people, animals or property. Never use in or near to a public place.
Always use an extension cable consisting of two wires with any electrical pyrotechnic. This ensures a safe distance can be achieved before any
detonation is performed.
Always connect the power source last. Connect from the pyrotechnic device backwards ensuring that you are well away from the device before the
extension wire is connected to anything else in the chain.
We suggest wearing protective clothing including gloves and eye protection before handling these products.
Hot Burn Ignition Pyrotechnics
We suggest wearing protective clothing including gloves and eye protection before handling these products.
Never carry the striker cap loose in the same pouch or pocket as the ignitable device.
Keep away from sources of high heat and direct sunlight.
Never operate around flammable chemicals, liquids or materials including buildings.
Never return to any device that has been ignited or attempted to be ignited then thrown, even if it shows no signs that it is ignited and indeed about to
explode. Inform your events organiser should this situation occur.
Never use any device near people, animals or property. Never use in or near to a public place. Ensure you have the site operators permission to use any
pyrotechnic beforehand.
Always throw underarm, in a controlled manner.
Never throw at another person or animal. Never throw indiscriminately.
We strongly recommend wearing protective clothing including gloves and eye protection before handling these products.
For most strikeable/ignitable devices, the device is triggered in the same way as a match. When you are ready to use rotate and twist the striker cap
from the top of the device holding each part firmly in each hand. Turn the striker cap so that the top becomes the match box and the igniter that was
protected under the cap is now the match stick. To strike, press the tip of the igniter firmly onto the striker cap, and strike away from you across the cap.
The device will begin to spark, and a small amount of smoke will be omitted. Throw away immediately to a safe location and ensure you are at a safe
distance from the device.

When using smoke products, ensure that you have confirmed there are no players with a medical condition (such as asthma) in the vicinity who are likely
to develop a problem breathing in under such conditions. Never stay in a smoke-filled environment or prevent others from leaving a similar environment.
A full demonstration, or further advice that is product-specific is available on request. If in any doubt... ask!
