Default OT -- German Smoke grenade

From a very long time ago, I have something that I believe is a german
smoke grenade. (bought at a gun show). This is modern manufacture, not
WWII, though even this is a guess.

My plan is to just use it to impress the neighborhood kids, but,
obviously, I do not want to get in trouble with police on this, so if
it will cover the whole neighborhood in smoke, that would be too much.

Anyway, my question is how much smoke do they make? It is
approximately 1.5" thick and maybe 8-10 inches long.

Well, obviously, don't do it indoors! They really don't make
all that much smoke, but they will leave a brightly-colored,
dusty residue, and they also get REAL hot when burning.
Generally they smoke for at least 5 minutes.

Hmm, the 8-10" long is bigger than the ones I've played with,
which were US Army issue.
