“ This is a cheap, easy, and more effective alternative to the M8 Smoke Grenade the US Soldiers use in tactical ops. (I've added a video with this entry) Do the cooking with a kitchen oven, candles DO NOT work at all, and camping stoves are better but hazardous. Filmcans work, but aren't the best because of the plastic and the small size. The best container seems to be small glass jars. Fuses are probably the hardest part, if you can use bought fuses. If not the best is to pour sterno over the top and light it, this will have an unpredictable time delay.Adding Color:Allthough it has been claimed that adding food coloring to the above would change its color here are the ingredients for "real" colored smoke bombs:BLACK SMOKE RECEPIES(Ingredient Percentage)Magnesium powder 19Hexachloroethane 60Napthalene 21Magnesium powder 20Hexachloroethane 60Napthalene 20Hexachloroethane 55.8Alpha Naphol 14Athracene 4.6Aluminum powder 9.3Smokeless powder 14Naphthalene 2.3Black powder FFF 50Potassium nitrate 10Coal tar 20Powdered charcoal 15Paraffin 5WHITE SMOKE RECIPIESPotassium chlorate 44Sulfur flour 15Zinc dust 40Sodium bicarbonate 1Zinc dust 66.37Hexachloroethane 33.33Zinc dust 28Zinc oxide 22Hexachloroethane 50YELLOW SMOKE RECIPIESPotassium chlorate 25Paranitraniline 50Lactrose 25Potassium chlorate 30Naphthalene azodimethyl anline50Powdered sugar 20Potassium chlorate 21.4Naphthalene azodimethyl anline2.7Auramine 38Sodium biocarbonate 28.5Sulfur flour 9.4GREEN SMOKE RECIPIEPotassium nitrate 20Red arsenic 20Sulfur flour 20Antimony sulfide 20Black powder FFF 20RED SMOKE RECIPIEPotassium chlorate 20Lactose 20Paranitraniline red 60Potassium chlorate 26Diethylaminorosindone 48Powdered sugar 26Potassium chlorate 27.4Methylaminoanthraquinone 42.5Sodium bicarbonate 19.5Sulfur flour 10.6Potassium pechlorate 25Antimony sulfide 20Rhodamine red 50Dextrin 5While some of these chemicals are common and can be found in a kitchen many are fairly rare (when was the last time you heard of "methylaminoanthraquinone" lol?). The place to get them is obviously a Chemical Suppy place or you learn how to picklocks and take some from your school's chemset.Labels: all, darktips, grenade, howto, smoke, tactical, tactics ...read the rest of this entry Rate it:Be the first to rate!? ”
