smoke grenade purchase?

[DJ]

I have been looking for effective smoke devices ( in lieu of the lame small ones) After looking around I have decided on these (Fat Man), however they must be purchased in lots of 20. Is there any interest out there in purchasing some of these as I do not need 20.

These are just as effective and cheaper, it is easier to rig a pull ring system on this and not have to deal with having to light the fuse. A lot of people including myself can vouch for the reliability and effectiveness of this product.

I have some and am not satisfied with the amount of smoke they produce. If the video that accompanies the grenades is accurate , the grenade will out perform the smoke bomb. I'm looking for effective cover smoke for deployment /egress of squads. I'd like to get my hands on one of the grenades to check it out. Any one with hands on experience?

I have used these with great success. I also have some "mammoth smoke" from the local fireworks stand that I have yet to try, but at $15 for 20 of them, I couldn't pass them up. Even if they suck more than a $2 Taiwanese girl.

those orange pull pin ones are great, and they can be found at local marine supply stores. sometimes you can get a good deal on them if they are expired. they still work after expiration but they cant sell them as actual emergency smokes. we got a deal on ten or twenty of them a couple years back for like ten bucks a pop, and they give off an insane amount of smoke. we dropped eight of them out of our vehicles on the PSD section of the BSP challenge and they had to postpone the next team cause there was still smoke on the mountain an hour later.

What environment have you used them in? I have tried multiple brands of fuse lit and pull ring types and have not been impressed with the volume of smoke produced. At 10k cf these are way less than some of the other advertised at 40k and 100k. I had an m-18 which was pretty cool. I have seen some military high volume grenades, thats what I am shooting for.

"Insane amount" is what I'm looking for, in a inquiry to the company rep , the fat boy were recommended over the orange ones. Your hands on experience is what I value. Thanks.

$20 a piece?
Looks like they're on a pull ring, but are they closed-flame/cold burning?
Edit: Never mind, looks like they're open, but have the "flame arrestors"


I would take one or two, maybe even three depending on when you get them in and what my paycheck does at the time.

I was on the receiving end of those and one second there was a car the next it was orange and tons of plastic death. I am telling you that there was no way I could relay where the guys out of the car were going because I could not see anything. They are awesome for a smoke screen!!!
Another pro for these smokes is that they burn cold. I had to go pick up the canisters after the contestants left the field and some were still letting off smoke and you could handle them with bare hands. And in case you are worried about fire danger one rolled down into a pile of dried berry vines and nothing caught fire.

I will take that as a good review.

Like i said, I'm in for two ATM. Maybe more..

Plus the pictures do not do these devices justice. The camera seems to see thru the smoke better than I remember being able to see.
