What is a ‘Pyro’ in Airsoft?
4th April 2017 Liu

A general term used for any type of pyrotechnic, this is most commonly a low-yield ‘flashbang’ grenade which looks like a fat pen, they are typically lit by striking the top with the cap, or using a special striker (much like a big match). A Pyro generally counts as a ‘grenade’, regardless of type or size. Observe current rules in play for how to respond to Pyros during play.
