Yeah never had ANY problems with Airsoft Innovations grenades breaking during use. Had your typical o-ring issues from letting them dry out in the past but never any mechanical problem from something I did during use.
One deployment involved hurling a grenade as hard as I possibly could at an outdoor game towards and enemy position. In hindsight it was a bad idea as it could have hurt someone if I hit anyone in the head with it but fortunately it smacked into concrete instead. The grenade still functioned 100% fine afterwards, just some scuffing to it from the impact. How did you actually manage to break part of it?
The only issues I've had with AI grenades have been problems I've created for myself, such as losing the grenade pins, wiping the grease off the threading accidentally on one grenade and having to un-seize the screw-on cap from the grenade body and letting an o-ring or two dry out which fixable by purchasing an o-ring replacement kit or just not being negligent with your gear and keeping it correctly oiled when stored.
Take care of your new grenades there and you'll get hundreds of deployments and years of use out of them. Pick up one or two of the o-ring replacement kits as that's the component that appears to degrade and fail over time. At one point I owned nine AI grenades, 6 impacts and 3 timers, and only had to do 3 partial o-ring replacements whilst they were under my care.
