    What do you think, which one is best for price, size and smoke output?

      @NinjaRabbitpro ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You really should try the enola gaye SD75 It's crazy. If you think the Mil-X is "the big boy" you'd be very surprised.

    The best smoke greade I ever saw was one I bought 30 years ago(how did I get so fucking old?) From a shop in tempe az called the Command Post. It was a green cardboard tube with bright orange writing and it had a little wire with a finger loop at the end that you pulled out. I set this off at the place I was working at the time in Tempe AZ called Malibu Grand Prix and the main road was about 40 yds away from the place I tested it. The smoke was so thick it stopped traffic on the main road it was so much I got that OH Shit what did I do feeling and was just waiting for the cops to show up.

    Evading under smoke is a no go. But I would keep a few around just in case you have ideal conditions.,, No wind.

    I had a batch of about 20 IWA and I got a chance to try my buddies IWA 37mm launcher... we had a good smoke show with ours... used Red and Blue smoke and it was pretty thick and lasted about a minute... maybe the one you used was from the old batch that you had last video... purchase or request some new ones and see if theres a difference because the ones we used seemed to be perfect.

    • @CivilianWarrior
      @CivilianWarrior  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I did see the smoke devices had a different packing/label design. Maybe they did improve from what I had. The one I used was months old.

    I have several MIL-X greens that my Uncle gave me a few years ago to add to my to-go bag and I was curious how much smoke the put out. Thanks for the video!
    Also, are you in San Diego? The background looks very familiar (looks like where the 805 and the 8 meet in Mission Valley) if not then ignore my question, just saw it and wanted to ask :)

    Perfect in a rescue situation like if your offshore on a sinking vessel or in the woods if you fell out the tree stand and are having trouble being located by rescue .
    It was a very wise decision making these for the civilian market.could possibly save a life someday if they haven't already
