    Legal smoke grenades!

    I stumbled on this today, I guess this company has been working with BATF to make a civilian version of the M18 smoke grenade. I've seen other airsoft style smokes but I don't think they operate like the M18's They are on pre-order now but seem pretty solid.

    I think we should just get rid of the ATF.

    What makes the M18 not civilian approved? The ignition assembly?

    I would think it has to do with the ignition, because if you had the same grenade with a fuse that you lit, that would be legal (in most states)

    Correct, the M18's M201A1 igniter/fuse is made with a Perchlorate mixture, Perchlorate is on the BATFE list of explosive compositions.

    Agree

    Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms should be a chain store not a Gov Agency. I think we could do away with a lot of the gov. I’d love to see the Gov severely downsized. I’ll compromise though, we can keep the ATF but we will sever their entire budget and fire everyone except for 5 people, give them a small trailer home to work out of, and give them no legal power at all! Just kidding. I hope the ATF is abolished.

    Where did those ALS smokes fall? I remember having those several years back... metal bodies, pin/spoon ignition, etc. I forget what dealer sold them, but I remember the second set I bought, they shipped them USPS priority I think.

    I was like.... this can't be right.

    $25 a pop and no discount for buying by the case! No thanks.
