6mm Badger had grown weary of the recurring frustration of misplaced grenade pins during intense airsoft matches. To combat this persistent annoyance, he devised a straightforward yet remarkably effective solution centered around a piece of equipment not originally intended for airsoft. His method involved the utilization of a retractable fishing tether manufactured by Gerber.
He explained the prevalent problem of lost grenade pins that plagues many airsoft enthusiasts. He then elucidated how he ingeniously employed a Gerber Gear Defender retractable tether to completely resolve this issue for himself. The video shows a clear, real-time demonstration illustrating the simple attachment process of the tether to the grenade pin.
Furthermore, he shows how he integrated this tether into his battle belt setup and demonstrated its practical application during actual gameplay scenarios. He found this particular setup to be an invaluable addition to his gear, having spared him considerable expense and aggravation, especially considering its relatively modest cost of $27, positioning it as one of the most beneficial non-airsoft accessories he had incorporated into his kit.
