1)Salt Peter(found at local Pharmacies,Grocerie Stores,Hardware Stores, Etc) 2)Sugar 3) Film Canisters that you have laying around or go pick up a few from Walmart or some film place. 4)String 5)Candle Wax 6) Black Powder First off, prepare the wicks by cutting about 2 inches of String for every film canister you have. Then Melt the candle wax and role the string in it. Then Take the black powder and roll the string w/ candle wax in it. Instant wick. Poke wholes in top of Canister lids with nail or other shard device(Drill, etc.). Mix Salt Peter(Potassium Nitrate) with Sugar with the ratio of 3:2(like 3 tbls of Salt Peter and 2 tbls of Sugar) into a shallow cooking pan. Heat on LOW,( DO NOT SUBJECT MIXTURE TO OPEN FLAME; KEEP THE POT ON LOW OR ELSE SMOKE BOMB MIXTURE WILL DO ITS JOB)stirring often and wait for carmalization... it will become goo like and thick... Know pour the mixture in the canisters adding wicks quickly while mixture is still loose. Place cap, pulling Wick through the top. WALAAA!!! Instant Smoke Grenade! BE CAREFUL WHERE YOU THROW THE SMOKE NADES!!! BURNS EXTREMELY HOT... but very effective and smoke is safe... so have fun and hope this helps!!! ------------- A-5 E-Grip Flatline 3A Remote Line 72/3k Nitro Custom Paint Job Customized Cyclone Feed Car Stock w/ Rear Velocity Adj Polished Internals |

No need for black powder, the saltpeter can be used on the wick. Also dont forget to read the Uber Ideas stickie. |

yeah.... thats real smart, teach kids how to make explosives why dont you just tell them to add some bleach and dish soap to the mix too. This effect can be far better achived with bleach and brake fluid (if you use the right brands that is) The smoke will be toxic so you cant walk through it and besides arent SG's banned at most fields? ------------- team sniper A-5 14" CUSTOM MADE SNIPER BARREL COLLAPSABLE SHOULDER STOCK DOUBLE TRIGGER DROP FORWARD IR LASER SCOPE POLISHED INTERNALS |

Deathtone.........you should pull your post before the mods. close it. Cooking Potassium Nitrate (a flameable metal) on a stove can = fire Potassium Nitrate is used in black powder and early versions of vehicle air bag systems to get the bags to deploy. It has stopped being used in the automotive industry because of the burns it gave people upon impact. I know the grenades are not made to hit anyone, but if it did it would definately burn them (made from film containers it could break open and make a bad situation even worse). bat signal ------------- Tippmann 68 Carbine D-feed X-core Palmer Direct Stabilizer Ricochet AK hopper J&J 12" barrel Y2K cradle/Drop Trigger Mods |

I know exactly what potassium nitrate is capable of.... I think i would know a little about it since i gave directions to use it... dumb @#$. If kids are stupid enough to use as its not intended... go ahead. they will learn real quick! You pathetic cronic worriers drive me insane!!!

i would make them a little diffrent. i would suspend a small metel canister inside of a larger one so the outside dosent get hot at all. then put an elecktronic egnition sys on top of that and use model rocket engine igniters to set it off. put in a 5 second delay and bamn instant reusable elecktric smoke bombs. just recess the switch so you dont axcidentaly set it odd and your set maby put a pin through it just to be on the safe side. ------------- Tipp A-5 Opsgear Saw Shroud Opsgear G36 Folding Stock 16" j&j |

If you are playing woodsball, you should ONLY use COLD smoke. I have heard that this stuff becomes hot enough to melt through plastic slides when ignited. I doubt the stuff is that hot, but it could very easily be hot enough to set some brush on fire. I do not recomend using these. -------------

Good idea... lets give them more ways to hurt themselves! NEVER try that one... forget about the instant 4 foot flames that will inevitably engulf your body, and the huge billows of chlorine gas that could poison half a neighborhood... -------------
