Anyone know what kind of output you get from ALS smoke grenades ?

Looking for something for a training class demo that will hide a car - do these put out enough smoke ?

Appreciate any info - THANKS

I'd probably toss two, but yeah it's smoke and it'll drift at the slightest breeze.  The only ones I've popped were yellow and were the next size up from the smallest. They put out a pretty good cloud that seemed to be consistent through out the entire time.






ETA, make sure you are sober, everyone around you is sober and NO one tries to pick up the can for a long time after it's done.

For the real deal, ALS is good to go and I get mine from TRG.
For training and fun these fit the bill just fine. 5 for the price of one ALS.

Not much smoke
These are markers not high concentration smoke

They are a waist of money unless you plan on marking somthing.

For training they are more affordable than ALS or USGI.

That was my original intent - for training purposes we'll use two of these together.

Couldn't find ALS anywhere - either they are not shipping or no one is selling any longer for some reason ?

Thanks again for the input

I wonder if TRG restricts these from civilian sales.

The ALS Smoke products are not restricted to any one. Just check local laws before ordering. These Items are shown on the website but the order must be called into the shop 1-(866) TAC-GEAR or emailed [email protected] in order to calculate the additional shipping costs involved with shipping these items.

They might be but their status as DD makes them somewhat cost prohibitive.

For those interested [from TRG]:



Smoke and OC are available to anyone, smoke is shipped directly from the manufacturer to save on shipping. CS is restricted to agency purchases only. Other colors may be available at certain  times for small orders. If the order is large enough we can do a run of the colored smokes at any time.



I've enquired what "sufficient quantity" might be.

Rather than respond to email I will post here to save you the step of having to re-post.

Generally special runs are for large agencies and number in the many hundreds of smokes in various colors. There are from time to time colors available that were overruns or canceled orders. For instance right now there are pocket smokes available in yellow and green.

Very nice.  Would it be sufficient to place some sort of note in the order for colors or would it be better to call, check quantities, etc.?

Since these can only be ordered via email or phone you can let us know at that time if you would like a certain color and we can check on availability at that time before we process the order.
