    No, no background in it. And thanks! I'll do some more when time permits and I get something good to do a review on.
    I did another video review about the Motorola Saber radios. I think it's in the comms section

    When did they make the Mil type illegal?

    Better question.....are they grandfathered?

    I don't know exactly when they made them illegal, but I doubt they're grandfathered.

    They actually declared the fuse (M17??) to be a "destructive device", and so are NFA controlled devices. I guess since it is the same fuse for regular fragmentation grenades and such. Maybe they felt the smoke grenades would be purchased just to get the fuses to make something illegal, I don't know for sure.
    So, the smoke part isn't illegal, just the fuse. Unless it's registered.

    This is why I doubt they're grandfathered.

    I think that what is on the market is just there. I've see some M-18's and ALS pull pin type on Gunbroker and Ar15.com recently. They were quite the pretty penny though.

    I bought a couple cases of the ALSG972 type a few years back. Gave a couple to a few friends.....Guess I'll give them a heads up it may now be contraband.

    That sucks....Cause I was looking to get a couple more cases. They work great....lots of smoke.

    I may have to go with the type you reviewed....they seem like when they get going.....they really put out some smoke.....That small one would have emptied a small house quickly...

    Yeah, it's puts out a lot of smoke. I haven't ried one of the big ones yet.

    I've got a few of the real deal M18's, but I'm saving those for a special occasion

    Very nice review. Will be adding a few of these very soon. How is the large one in comparison?

    The ALS smokes are not destructive devices, the fuse is just considered an explosive. They will not sell them to anyone without an explosives license.

    Word is they are working on a different fuse compound, but I doubt its high priority since they can still sell to government agencies.
