    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)

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

    M18's use a 2 second delay fuse assembly for ignition, I believe ATF thinking was fuse and can of black powder and you could make a grenade. But how useful is a grenade that goes off in 2 seconds and uses a fuse assembly that costs 50-100 $.

    That's what I heard or read... but never really confirmed.

    So if you want one, you are going to pay a lot. Looks like group buy is best way to go, or hope your local shop sells them.
