Item Description
Original Items: Only One Group Available. Now this is a somewhat rare pair of items. These date sometime during the later part of the Cold War and are targeting smoke bombs, dropped from US Aircraft to target areas, enemy locations, potential targets, screening and so on. Information on these are rather scarce but the same basic principle of smoke bombs/grenades are relatively the same.
Unloaded or dummy grenades, artillery shell casings, and similar devices, which are cut or drilled in an BATF-approved manner so that they cannot be used as ammunition components for destructive devices, are not considered NFA weapons. This example is in total compliance and is NOT AVAILABLE FOR EXPORT.
A smoke grenade is a canister-type grenade (or aerial bomb in this case) used as a signaling device, target or landing zone marking device, or as a screening device for unit movements.
Smoke grenades are generally more complex and emit a far larger amount of smoke than smoke bombs, which are a type of firework typically started with an external fuse rather than a pin. Smoke grenades often cost around US$40 compared to smoke bombs, which can often cost just a few cents. The phrase "to smoke", meaning to fake, bluff, or beat around the bush, comes from the military usage of smoke grenades to obscure and conceal movement; similarly, "pop smoke", derived from a common way of ordering the use of smoke grenades, is used as a slang term for quickly leaving a place.
These plastic bomblets are in wonderful condition and are unmarked, making an exact identification difficult.
Comes more than ready for further research and display.
