not homemade, only factory made haha. i'm a chemist , i got the arsonist merit badge to boot lol.

i make my grenades with a pound of pure potasium mixed with harmless vinager.....or maybe it was baking soda i was supposed to use? ....
oh well, same thing lol.

ya, pyro stuff is mighty dangerous. but if experienced it makes for fun stuff.


(obviously i'm no chemist. but my uncle kinda is, we once thought of painting a ducks bottom with potasium and watching it land in the lake hahaha. now that's funneh) kinda trolled.
The biggest downside of a forum on a sport dominated by 14-year-olds is that nobody will ever assume you're responsible by default.

Feels bad, man.
I have seen a lot responsible of three fingerd men in my time! While smoke nades are not rocket science  there is plenty of room for error.I once saw a guy fill tennis balls with his "Home made Smoke compound" He was very unhappy to find out they put a Toxic chemical when burned.
I think many paint ball shops carry cheap smoke candles.They must be lit with a lighter, or a match.

The 49Th use only professional grade, commercial pyro for safety reason.

Burning tennis balls tend to be rather toxic, yeah. There really isn't much room for error unless you start getting creative. It's two ingredients, and if you mix up the ratio, it just doesn't burn well and sometimes sputters out early if packed poorly.

If you guys want a "commercial pyro only" rule, that's your prerogative and I'll abide by it, but I'm rather insulted by the "you'll blow your hands off" attitude when I'm talking about mixing something that's not even mildly explosive. I mean, shit, this stuff is edible.

No insult was intended.I personaly dont care if you blow your hand off. I do care however if you blow my hand off.  I have watched some well qualified people make some really stupid mistakes.Its a matter of safety and liability. I am certian your smoke Bombs are well.....The bomb! Bring some and lets look at them.

.As this is NOT a 49Th Game, or a TAC game it is really up to the game host.

 Im sure that I can speak for the Commandos and say we wont play in conditions we feel MAY be unsafe.

Well, count out my smokes, then. It's not like it's a particularly difficult recipe, though...

On that note, if I wanted to buy commercial smokes in the Valley, anybody know where I could do that?

I tried to buy them online over two weeks ago and they have YET to arrive (Do not, under any circumstances buy from this website, http://www.smokegrenade.net/, that's where I ordered from.), and I need them for the game this weekend, so it looks like I'm stuck making my own, I can sell you some if you need.
Rabble rabble conflict of interest.

PM incoming.

Nah, I don't want to order online with two and a half days left on the clock. No way they'd get here on time with standard shipping, and express shipping is outrageous.

You know what? I like that. I'll bring some, we'll light off one or two beforehand, if they work right I'll use 'em, if they take a chunk out of the smelter building I'll switch to commercial smokes. If that sounds good to DarrK...?

I am a 21 year US Army vet. I was a Combat Engineer for most of the active portion, 7 years. I can mix up things that will blow of your hands and other parts, pretty much all they will find is yours hands. Yet I will not play in or around home-made pyro, not even my own. Nor would I expect others to feel safe around anyone's home-made pyro.

When a chemical compound that involves the likes of phosphorus, sodium, or potassium (alone are volatile enough) is mixed by a lay individual who reads the formula from the anachist's cookbook I don't want to be anywhere near it. :)

First of all, let me state that I own neither the Anarchist's Cookbook nor the Poor Man's James Bond for a reason. Second, it's household sugar and potassium nitrate. It literally is edible, though admittedly it might not sit well. As far as I'm aware, the worst possible thing that can happen (aside from accidental fire, as it IS a pyrotechnic device) is you cook it too hot and it lights off on the stovetop, smoking out your house... essentially just a premature ignition.

EDIT: You know what? I don't want to continue this, because if XavierMace is watching I'm sure I'm about to get a scolding for being off-topic. If you guys want to tell me I'll blow my face off making something utterly non-explosive, go ahead, but I'll wait for DarrK's ruling on my previous suggestion to respond again.

Worst of it would likely be that a fire gets set and I think your hold harmless pretty much covers your indemnity versus another person's liability.

Personally, I have no problem with M18's but they are outrageously expensive. For $2 those 1 minute smokers from Scott's link are looking good to me. I have no problem with store bought smoke as long as the user places it on clear, dry, ground and not throws it in the brush, or at someone. The latter being more likely to happen, and that is the reason TAC does not allow it. I have been to CC's and at Cold Burn II the final Bomb prop was a huge case filled with smokers and it was tizzight. When used properly as a prop smoke is great.

Aside from the cost of an M18 ( I have seen them go for $80.00) it is the amount of smoke..way to much for what we are using them for,Not to mention The used to give me a wicked headache. I recall using white, Heavy screening smoke nades,,WOW!
Pyro adds a lot to A game when done correctly. Perhaps we just ask Arty to give us a bit Of WP just befoe Game on..HEHEHEH Evil Laugh!
