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. Maybe I should check with the fire department first. -- Due to extreme spam originating from Google Groups, and their inattention to spammers, I and many others block all articles originating from Google Groups.

I'm surprised the cops haven't knocked on your door yet.
Go to the Fire Dept and you will surely attract attention you never imagined. "Ignoramus14615" wrote in message ...

Nah, just set it in the front yard and pop the top. Give us a heads-up and we'll keep an eye on CNN. Be sure to wave. |

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. Jon |

OT -- German Smoke grenade
Iggy- Post a pic of it. I'll check it out. I also still need that photo for
your lock and keys I have here. I have cylinder types now too as Snap On sent me spares on accident so the ones with the little wrench handle are yours. I have them boxed up and awaiting the confirmation they are the same. Rob "Ignoramus14615" wrote in message ... From a very long time ago, I have something that I believe is a german smoke grenade.
