M18 Smoke Grenades

Unread post by mrdibbles » July 5th, 2009, 10:00 am

Hey Guys-
I broke out the good stuff this 4th of July :D We played around with store bought smoke for a while and then the M18's had to show how they get it done. I was very pleased with the results 8)

I had heard the smoke from M18's messes with reproductive things in humans. (Maybe it was one particular color....) While VERY cool to see, I personally, would have kept the kids away, or upwind, from the smoke. But, whatever trips your trigger. I hope you had a good 4th.

You shouldn't interfere with those carcinogens. After all, those tumors aren't going to grow themselves.

Yeah I was wondering when TopTiger might make an appearance. I half expected to hear the "whoop whoop" of a Huey gunship :D

The elder statesman that oversaw these M18 chenanagans was an ex-Army General. He enjoyed the whole experience nearly as much as the kids. The area was well ventilated and other than a purple shoe or two none of the kids were harmed.

I am now on the hunt for more, bigger, and better smoke... I've always been drawn to it :mrgreen:
