Description
Tectonic Innovations Quake 8 Way Grenade (Gray)
The Quake 8 Way from Tectonic Innovations is a reusable impact grenade for airsoft, finished here in grey. It fires a primer the instant any part of it hits a surface, and its multi-shot base gives you eight throws from a single loading.
Reusable grenades have become the sensible choice for regular players, because one grenade can do the work of a great many single-use pyro. The Quake is built from stainless steel and aluminium to survive repeated throws onto hard floors, making it a dependable choice for CQB.
How it works
The Quake is an impact grenade, so it fires as soon as any part of it hits a hard surface. A stainless steel plunger at the top is driven into the firing pin on impact, and the pin strikes a primer in the base to give a loud bang. There is no delay and no pin to pull, which makes it ideal for clearing rooms quickly.
Its multi-shot base has eight positions. Once a primer has been used, rotate the base to the next one and the grenade is ready to throw again, giving eight throws per loading. When all eight have gone, unscrew the base, swap the spent primers for fresh ones and you are set for another eight.
Build and materials
The Quake 8 Way is made from stainless steel and aircraft-grade aluminium, so it is strong enough to be thrown onto concrete, wooden floors and hard ground again and again. At around 40 x 40 x 125mm it is compact enough to carry in a grenade or utility pouch on your rig.
The grey finish is understated and goes with most kit. Being a muted colour it can be harder to spot on the ground, so keep an eye on where it lands, especially in woodland.

Compatibility
The Quake 8 Way uses .209 (6mm) primers. Primers are not listed as included, so make sure you have a supply before your game day. Check your site’s rules on pyrotechnics and impact grenades before use: many sites allow them, but some limit their use indoors or set minimum throwing distances.
Care and maintenance
Unload the grenade at the end of each day and wipe off any residue from the primers. Make sure it is completely dry before you put it away, and keep the base threads free of grit.
Keep primers in their own packaging away from the grenade, in a cool, dry place. Never throw a loaded grenade carelessly or drop it onto a hard floor when you are not in play.
Who is it for?
CQB and woodland players who want a robust, reusable impact grenade in a low-key finish that suits most loadouts.
Please note: Always wear full-seal eye protection when using grenades, and follow your site’s rules on pyrotechnics and primers.
