Whether you are trying to outflank the opposing team on the airsoft field or looking to add that perfect, dramatic pop of color to a creative photoshoot, pyrotechnics are the ultimate game-changer.
Here at BZ, we stock a premium selection of industry-standard Enola Gaye (EG) pyro to help you bring the heat. Below is everything you need to know about what we have on the shelves, how much it costs, and how you can get your hands on it.
The Lineup: What Each Pyro Does & What It Costs
We’ve curated our selection to offer everything from budget-friendly smoke to full-scale tactical distractions. Here is the breakdown:
EG25 Micro Smoke — £2.50
-
The Lowdown: Don't let the "micro" tag fool you; this is a compact unit with a massive punch.
-
How it works: It features a simple ring-pull ignition and puts out a considerable cloud of dense, vibrant smoke for roughly 25 seconds.
-
Best for: Photographers who need a quick burst of intense atmosphere for an epic shot without completely flooding the area or blocking out the light for the rest of the day.
EG MK5 Thunderflash — £3.00
-
The Lowdown: The undisputed benchmark for distraction and diversion on the battlefield.
-
How it works: This uses a trusted friction ignition system. You just snap off the plastic cap and strike it against the fuse like a match. After a short fuse delay, it emits a loud, high-pitched "bang" report designed to mimic military distraction devices.
-
Best for: Breaching rooms in CQB (Close Quarters Battle), clearing out trenches, and completely disorienting the enemy team.
EG Friction Smoke — £3.00 to £4.00 (depending on color)
-
The Lowdown: The classic, highly cost-effective smoke grenade that built the Enola Gaye empire.
-
How it works: Just like the MK5, you twist off the cap and strike it against the fuse to ignite. It builds a steady, reliable wall of thick smoke to mask your movements.
-
Best for: Budget-conscious airsoft players looking to create a quick, affordable smoke screen to cover a squad advance.
EG Wirepull Smoke — £6.00
-
The Lowdown: The legendary WP40. It is easily one of the most popular and widely used smoke grenades on the planet.
-
How it works: Super easy to deploy under pressure—just pull the wire ring out to the side and drop it. It unleashes a massive, rolling cloud of brilliantly colored, non-toxic smoke that puts in serious work for around 90 seconds.
-
Best for: Severe tactical cover on the field, or high-end videography and weddings where deep, long-lasting color coverage is required.
