Hey,
I know that the use of any pyrotechnics in an AA game is strictly prohibited, but for you guys who play in remote areas with your buddies, these shouldn't be a problem. Basically, I have a contact who sells orange colored smoke grenades for $6 a pop plus shipping. These things go for 3-5 minutes and put out LOTS of smoke - perfect for cover (you've probably seen these used at paintball games). These are pull pin or pull string type - not lighting of fuses. Why are they so cheap? Well, they're recently expired, so the U.S. Coast Guard will not vouch for them. I bought and used approx. 10 of these without a single problem - all worked perfectly. These do get very hot (~300 F), but the fire danger is low as they have no open flame. I have stuck one of these in a pile of dead, dried grass to see if it would catch, but all it did was dye the grass orange (NOTE: I'm not saying that there is no way to start a fire - just that its very unlikely from what I've seen and heard). Which leads to another point - this will stain anything that is approx 3 ft. from the nozzle bright orange. After that, I haven't noticed anything being colored[
]. Pictures of the types he usually has in stock

I can get these for 2$ each. These are also expired, but, once again, I've never had a problem with them working. They burn approx 60 sec and put out about twice as much light as a normal road flare. The two of the four models you may get:

These shoot up a flare approx 1000 ft up which then parachutes down, burning for about 40 sec. These I can get for $6.50 a piece - also expired. I keep one of these in my gear when I go backpacking or off in the boonies. An example:

The prices I quoted do not include shipping, however, if enough people get in on this, it should be quite cheap (probably $1- $1.50 per piece). I'm not making any money off of this - just wanted to give you hardcore milsim guys some cool toys as well as some safety equipment[
]. I'm placing the order tomorrow evening - so anyone who's interested let me know by 1700 tomorrow.
Lastly, I'm not going to "deliver" these, so you'll have to pick them up (I'm in east Tucson) *or* I will be at the Satac game on Dec. 18th at Sasco, so I can bring them there. Thanks.
