Alright, I picked up one of these babys. I somehow got it in my head that these can be used as makeshift "smoke" nades. I filled it with flour and propane (yes i know it ment for CO2, but i didnt want to waste a cartridge to test 1 shot at home) but even packed with flour and covered with tissue wadding, I find the dispersal to be too great that all you get is a light dusting in the wind. With almost full visibility, as the flour did nothing to impair visibility.

Am I doing this wrong? Or was I mistaken in my beleif that these grenades can be used as a smoke grenade?

If so other than its origional purpose (paintball) what would be the purpose to use this grenade over my XM108's?

Ive done a search but the only things i can find on ASC is mentioning of filling the grenade with bb's and put tissue wadding, but with less than 1/2 of the capacity of the 108's, I wonder if its really worth it.

Thoughts?
