I have done alot of testing with these exact grenades and have found that they can be reliable if they are shipped and stored properly.

A big problem was that the first batch we recieved was frozen in shipping. There was paint in the bottom of the box and some of the grenades had actually cracked open. The big problem was that the delay was now erratic, anywhere from 5 - 20 seconds or more to go off.. not very impressive.

The next batch we had shipped on a heated truck and these tested much better. Out of 10 grenades 9 went off in 5 seconds and they let off a good size bang and paint spray was about 5 feet on average.

It sounds like maybe the sample that you recieved was frozen in shipment, the paint expands cracks the casing and leaks out.. Therefore when it does go off there is not as much paint to spray out.. also this effects the delay time, in the cold they don't go off as fast as they should.

Overall they are a decent product that could use some tweaking to get perfected. They also need some decent packaging and documentation since they don't give you any direction at all.
