Hmmm, lets think here why they DONT. 1. Smoke = flame = potential forest fire 2. Inhaling smoke isnt the best thing for you 3. Do you really want people walking around blind with guns? 4. Smoke would either be to thin to make a differnce or thick enough for someone to mistake it for a REAL fire, making problems. They use things LIKE smoke gernades in scenerio play, but its part of the game (like nerve gas) and players expect it and are safe from it. ------------- Real Men play Tuba [IMG]http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/1859/newsmall6xz.jpg"> PH33R TEH 1337 Dwarf! http://www.tippmann.com/forum/wwf77a/log_off_user.asp" rel="nofollow - DONT CLICK ME!!1 |

A spark is all thats needed to start a fire. And think about it, if you were a passerby, and you saw smoke coming out of a forest, what are you going to do? Chances are you would call the fire department.

There are alot of smoke grenades that will not produce high temps capable of burning your hand. He already said he was going to use it for scenario games. Anyway there are plenty of other suppliers out there who sell smoke grenades you dont need tippmann to begin making them also. ------------- I dont care what you say there are snipers in paintball |

If you read my post you would realize that A. I did not say it would brun your hand, I said it has the potential of starting a fire and B. I said items LIKE smoke grenades are used. Generally they are stationary and are placed in areas where a fire will NOT result. ------------- Real Men play Tuba [IMG]http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/1859/newsmall6xz.jpg"> PH33R TEH 1337 Dwarf! http://www.tippmann.com/forum/wwf77a/log_off_user.asp" rel="nofollow - DONT CLICK ME!!1 |

u could get smoke bombs. the lil balls that u can get at firework stores. but thats prolly dangurous too, cuz u have to have a match to light em. unless u used a lighter, u would just have to watch out for sparks cuz they do burn...trust me...i kno lol and that would start a fire ------------- Save our planet by helping conserve oxygen......go kill yourself |

Me and my friends play alot of scenario games and we all make our own stuff so Watson this might be something you might ant to try. This is how we make our smoke grenades:
-3 parts salt peter (potassium nitrate) -2 parts sugar all measured by weight -use an old pot and mix. -heat on high, will turn to Carmel. -pour in container and embed a fuse -Light it and run or throw. You might want to do all of this out side on a fire or a hotplate though because if you do it on the stove inside and it lights it will smoke your house out. I know this from experience  anyways Good Luck

Our team plays woodsball and use smoke too... do what he did, but I reccommend use dehydrated saw dust... mix this in with the formula. It helps create a thicker smoke cloud. I took one of those big Gatorade bottles and filled it completely... it was a little more smoke than we needed but... it worked! ------------- I'll see you before you see me. <I had a moronic quote in my sig> |

Now, if you read everything I said, you will notice I attack ideas, not people. Now you on the other hand, rather then the civillized approach of dissproving what I said (on that note I congragulate those that have dissproved what I said, although you havent convinced me of saftey you have done a good job dissproving some of what I said) you proceeded to blatent flamming. I would also like to add that I never attacked anything you said in this thread, so your response is quite uncalled for. For this, I must say, you sir do suck and I would like to request your leaving of this forum. Thank you. P.S - For future refference, when I attack an idea it is nothing against the creator of the thread, but against the idea itself. ------------- Real Men play Tuba [IMG]http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/1859/newsmall6xz.jpg"> PH33R TEH 1337 Dwarf! http://www.tippmann.com/forum/wwf77a/log_off_user.asp" rel="nofollow - DONT CLICK ME!!1 |

i did a search on homemade smoke for paintball and found some different recipes but at the bottom it said all of these are somewhat toxic to breath and make.if your going to make any type of smoke make sure it wont burn down the place your playing or kill someone from what its made of!!!!!!!!! |

I went out PBing with some guys from my unit a while back. One of them happened to have a military smoke grenade that hed gotten at a surplus place, the exact same kind we use. So halfway through assaulting this fort in a field of hay bails, he pops this thing, and there's a cloud of purple smoke clouding the area. It landed face into the grass though, so it kinda sucked. Not nearly as much smoke volume as we needed. ------------- "Abortion is not "choice" in America.

They don't have an external flame, but they do burn hot enough to cause a fire. And what is your definition of harmful? Sure a small amount will only cause a lot of discomfort, but breath enough and it is sort of bad for you. Most of the smoke grenades we use are for signalling. The HC smoke is the only one that is thick enough to use for screening, and even then it doesn't lost for very long, and we throw out more than one when possible. |

You want something that creates alot of smoke....it might cause a forest fire and a smell that will totally distract everyone on the field including yerself....its called a "stink bomb"! ------------- Do not steal....the government hates competition!

Yes, they do make them specifically for Paintball. Featured in APG Magazine. |

| And the store that runs the field I play at sells some. They have to be lit, but it is Western Washington, so there aren't too many fires West of the mountains. But they don't even match the amount or thickness of smoke that comes from the colored smoke grenades used for signalling, much less the HC white. What's the point of using smoke, unless it's just for signalling, if it's not thick enough to act as concealment? If you plan on using it for a signal device, then that's a totally different thing. It's kind of cool then. Not a bad idea if you can incorporate into your game. |

ever heard of cold smoke. its what they use at paintball games. so there is no fire its the same smoke they use on life rafts. your not gonna die from the smoke. the smoke is part of the game not being able to see gives oppurtunity to the team to move up or retreat. and hopefully if tippmann made them they would be thick so you can conceal your yourself in i mean thats the point |
