I agree that smoke is way underused. It's actually pretty sad; it's incredibly useful in practice, although it sounds rather inneffectual. The big prize with smoke is obscuring lines of fire, I find. Much is said about providing cover for a squad moving in the open or on a flag, but it's also very nice if you're taking shots from 2 directions. Pop a smoke in one or both, and short of running up and knifing you they have to wait around for it to clear.

Hmm...interesting question. I know that they don't have a timed fuze, because they will not explode until impact. I'm betting that they could be compared to explosive tipped bullets. They basically are "hot" at all times, but it takes a really significant impact to set them off. That's my theory.

Anyone know for certain? If not, google is your friend

I believe they have a spin fuze, so that they have to rotate a certain amount (and thus travel a certain distance) before arming.

From what I know if you fire it to low it would either bounce forward or kill you

I writing this so that it gets recycled back into the Tactics main page. This will further help others pick up on the Kit.

Good intel Thierry. You gave exact numbers, something i could not come up with.

Cheers.
