Grenade thumb drive

This is awesome. Just imagine being at the library with your grenade casually laying on the table hooked up to your laptop via male-female extension. Should take some pictures of it out in the wild and in use. :D
 
If I could find a source of some decent quality inert munitions (artillery shells, etc) I might even attempt a mini-itx system or something.

ZING! Get a sufficiently sized nuclear warhead mockup and make the Intel ATOM Bomb :p

haha, I'd like to try to explain that one when you take it to the ups store to have it shipped (there's no way I'd ever take any pc on a plane these days).

I can see you will be spending some time in jail....Not a GOOD idea..

I love the idea for PERSONAL use only in your own home not in public or in the work place.

You really want to meet the barrel of an m4 don't you....or the biting end of a dog and zip tie handcuffs.
 
If you had it in your carry-on bag at the airport and it went thru the xray machine, wouldn't you freak out if they missed it?

I saw an expose on the news a few years back where a camera crew did something similar; they had fake grenades, guns and other stuff in one bag. They didn't get busted until they showed them the tape, lol.

I want to see the Claymore External Drive; that would be a hit at the office!

Trying to find a cheap claymore enclosure (key word being CHEAP) is a bit of a challenge
 
That's almost too risky to have in your house. Taking it into public would be ultimately stupid in this day.
 
Started the final painting. The grenade body will be black, the handle red, and the fuse assembly gray. That color scheme familiar to anyone? ;)

Try looking around on the airsoft websites you can find broken one there for $50 or less just take out the guts. I have a few look just like the real thing
 
I'm using the original cap from the donor thumb drive to hold the drive in place while the silicone adhesive inside cures. Then I'll clean it off and give it another coat of black, followed by a couple of clear coats. The handle is still in the garage drying.

/edit: Since I can no longer rest the grenade right side up and upside down. I'm going to pass on the clear coat until I can suspend it from some fishing line or something so I can coat all sides evenly.

He's not talking about the grenade blowing up. He's talking about how the government and general public are so suspicious about terrorists that you would have to be really careful about where you took it and showed it off to people.
 
The fact that the forecasted low today is 36F is making the adhesive take its sweet time curing. It's at least ok to paint it right now.

Far from liberal. I'm LE, and pulling this out at a school is a fantastic way for OP to get himself shot or at minimum arrested for searching. It's not called being a liberal or being a wimp, it's called motherfucking common sense. Something you both could use some more of.

I'd agree with that. If one of my kids brought it to school for show & tell, I'd move them into the garage until their 18th birthday.
 
Here's the finished [H] theme paint job. Keep in mind it's just a prototype. If I made one to sell or something, a little more care would be exercised in its construction:

That little hint of blue near the pin is some tape I neglected to take off

Looking back, I should have used a different adhesive inside. In this cold weather, it's taking its sweet time to cure. Still too soft to test the drive out.

next up (when money permits) is 40mm drives

And a sense of humor is something you should have more of. Then maybe jokes will make more sense to you (good god, I even put a winky face after it lol).

People are too touchy these days.

which is why you have to be careful.
 
This gives me an idea... Wonder if I could get away with cramming it in an empty 50 shell...

Main idea involves a magazine but the 50 shell might be the most practical. Problem is weight. I'll have to look around and see what I've got in the way of spares but I'm thinking of a pretty sweet mag version of this.

You could have used an old pineapple one too, just dremel out one of the bumps and put a extendy cord in there or something
 
My friend n highschool had 4 shotgun shell flash drives. Let's just say the principals were not happy when they found them while searching bags at the door after a bomb threat. It took them a few minutes to understand that the shells were not dangerous without all the internals...
 
In defense of the OP, I wouldn't worry about showing this to people. America needs more of this.

Sorry if your post can't be differentiated from the political comments at the bottom of a Yahoo! news article... You don't know me nearly well enough to joke about my political orientation.

I agree that it's a damn cool mod and should be shown off. I also agree that discretion should be used and that means a big no-go at public (state/fed) property.
 
Depending on what the dimensions are...I may be able to stuff an ATOM based board inside of this.

Intel ATOM Bomb anyone?

Meh, I'm not going to change my personality just because other's fly off the handle at the slightest thing. I'm not responsible for correcting their shortcomings lol. Too much fake outrage. Too many people offended by benign things.

Usually when someone starts with "Psh" and ends with a smiley face, the post is meant to be light hearted. Just for future reference. But, I apologize. I didn't know only close friends could joke with each other. :p

This isn't a Fox News or MSNBC forum. Politics aren't going to be taken as seriously here. PS3 vs 360 on the other hand...
 
Got 6 people wanting to order a usb grenade and 1 person wanting a USB claymore.
 
wth is up with all those partitions? or you just got multiple small drives?

Ok then, let's see you take it to the airport! I will watch the news to see if you really did it lol

did i say i would take it to the airport mate ? I was referring more to class.....
 
I wouldn't take it to class without explaining to a teacher or someone what it is. Might cause you some grief if you just pull it out without warning. There's no way for them to know what it is exactly. Before I get jumped on like others in this thread, I don't think there's anything wrong with it at all, in fact I love the idea and it's cool as hell, but others in a public place won't know and it's better to be safe with it than cause trouble.

I think that would partially depend on the color. I mean I don't know how many people would be upset or frightened if someone pulls out a pink hello kitty grenade and plugs it in to their laptop at starbucks
 
Well, yeah that's true. But if you have one that's legit looking, people probably won't take it well. Don't get me wrong though, I love the mod. I would buy one if I had some extra cash.
