BFD Alpha - Airsoft Gr***de for Woodland [black] Blank Firing Device (BFD) Alpha by Tactical Fox. Airsoft gr***de specifically designed to be used in woodland using .209 primers.

I’m finalizing the colour options for the first batch - which one is your favourite?
I’ll be doing a small initial drop very soon. Please note that this first version will not support planned add-ons, so I’ll be offering them at a discounted price.
These units are 100% functional BFDs, but PCB needed some changes to fully support planned add-ons (currently waiting for those boards to arrive). These are perfect for anyone looking for an airsoft gr***de for use on soft surfaces.
Hey everyone! I’ve spent the last few months testing my latest BFD (Blank Firing Device) prototype during games and at home, and I’m finally ready to drop the new version in the shop. Here’s what’s changed based on my testing:
- Speeding things up: a 5-second delay was just too long for real-world play, so I’ve dropped it to 2 seconds. I still sometimes "cook" it for a second if I need an instant bang.
-Visual confirmation: I switched to a transparent button, so you can instantly see if the unit is on or off.
- No more lost gear: to save us all from hunting through the leaves, I’m offering a bright orange version.
- Hidden Tech: because that orange plastic is slightly see-through, you can now see the internal LED. I set up different blinking patterns for priming, firing, and idle - it was meant for debugging, but it's a nice bonus.

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!

Hey everyone! I wasn’t happy with how inconsistent the wireless receiver was — once it was packed into a smaller space, the range dropped, and even posting around a barricade became unreliable at times. So, in the end, I decided to dive into electronics, design my own custom PCB, and get it manufactured.
The device also feels much more solid and professional now, thanks to using SLS 3D printing instead of conventional FDM!

Hey all!
Many of you have asked when RBFDs will be back in stock — hopefully by the end of this year. The good news: they’ll feature a redesigned version with a LiPo battery that recharges via USB-C!
The images show the prototype compared to the current design. The prototype was just to confirm the new electronics, so it’s not the final version. I’m now redesigning the metal parts — currently there are 4 CNC-machined pieces, which means large batch orders are needed for reasonable prices.
The new design will not only be more streamlined but also let me produce smaller batches, meaning faster restocks.
