Using a custom PCB brings some great improvements, like an integrated LiPo battery that’s rechargeable via USB-C. However, it also means the newest version of the BFD will use a 5-second digital timer instead of a remote trigger.
More often than not, I’ve used various iterations of my RBFD by posting them through windows, around barricades, or through cracks in doorways—especially on woodland sites. I want to stress that it’s not intended to be thrown like a gr***de, but rather pushed into position or dropped onto soft surfaces such as grass or soil—places where impact gr***des just aren’t practical.
I’m continuing to learn more about electronics and I’m planning to release a wireless trigger as an add-on for the timed BFD. My goal is for it to work consistently and reliably over longer distances, so it can be used not only in regular skirmishes but also in mil-sims, where line of sight isn’t required for activation!
I still need to do some stress testing on the latest version, but I’m hoping to begin production in early 2026! And yes — I'm considering customisable plates to be an option!
