Molcom checks out the 40MAX Whirligig 3 which is an updated airsoft grenade that swaps the old twist-to-activate mechanism for a more straightforward push-button system. This version holds 120 BBs, which are loaded through a hole at the bottom alongside the gas intake valve. It is designed to spray its contents in all directions upon impact, provided it is dropped from a height that actually triggers the mechanism—something the reviewer found out the hard way during a low-ceiling indoor test.

PewClub Entertainment tries the 40Max Whirligig 3 airsoft grenade, though the presentation is frequently interrupted by a series of comedic sketches. The crew open with a parody of a classic video game training mission, where a "Commissar" insists that soldiers train with potatoes because real grenades are far too valuable to be trusted to mere recruits. This sets a lighthearted tone for a technical showcase that struggles to stay on track.

HK Airsoft Sam tries the third generation of the 40MAX airsoft grenade, the Whirligig 3. He explains that this version focuses on ease of use, allowing players to operate it with just one hand, which is a significant upgrade from previous iterations. It packs a capacity of around 120 to 200 BBs, making it a handy companion for those moments when your aim with a rifle is feeling a bit questionable.

Stupid Airsoft checks out the The 40MAX Whirlgig 3 in this video. This is an updated impact-activated airsoft grenade designed to improve upon its predecessor by offering a more efficient one-handed arming mechanism. Constructed with a durable aluminum body and rubber end caps to withstand heavy use, this model features a 200-round capacity and utilizes a spiral internal track to distribute BBs in a wide radius upon contact with a hard surface.

L'Antre Du Dingo takes a good look at the Whirligig 3 impact grenade from 40 Max. This is an improved version designed for those who prefer throwing plastic spheres at friends rather than just talking to them. Unlike the previous version that required two hands and a bit of a struggle to unlock, this model features a simple thumb-operated button.
