I found this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yga8J8Qz ... re=related
I heard they burn hot but in the video, he was able to hold it for a decent amount of time. I also heard that orange smoke counts as a chemical weapon at fulda and was wondering if I could use it there if I hold it the whole time.

I asked awhile ago http://www.southcarolinaairsoft.com/php ... f=1&t=5269 they pretty much said that they're not allowed if hot burning. Also at fulda gap you can't being you own orange smoke but you can bring your own cold burning white smoke. They sold smoke at 2010 fulda but it was too dry last year so they didn't sell them.

Not really new, but very cool. I may make some.

Before anyone asks, the rules with these in the AOSC are as follows:
Dominum wrote: Rule #6:  Pyrotechnics, pneumatics, or devices of any kind (whether homemade or store bought) that are not considered a normal airsoft gun will only be permitted at the field owners discretion. If allowed, you must have it approved by an AOSC Representative before the start of the game. No lasers over 5MW are permitted. Use common sense with lasers and powerful flashlights, as there can be some safety risks associated with them. Though it will happen once in a while on accident (and that is understandable), intentionally and repeatedly shining lasers in people's eyes will be treated as unsportsmanlike conduct and may result in removal from the game or further action.
You have to ask the Rep hosting a particular game for that single game and that game only. It is possible that something like this would be approved by a field owner and the Rep hosting a particular game if it is very wet outside, but the next game at the same field with the same host may not approve it the next time if it is dry outside.
