Airsoft Smoke Bomb
By far, the most common smoke formula is the Potassium Nitrate/Sugar formula. It produces a white-gray smoke and is both easy, inexpensive and fun to make. The percentage of Potassium Nitrate and Sugar in this composition vary somewhat depending on who you ask, but the 60/40 mix listed below is pretty common.
A lump of this stuff the size of your thumb produced the smoke cloud on the right in under 2 seconds.
Potassium Nitrate 60 % and Sugar 40 %
Although the two ingredients can just be finely powdered and mixed together, in recent side-by-side tests, we found that melting the two together does in fact make a superior Smoke Bomb. To melt the mixture together, you’ll need small metal saucepan or other heat resistant container, and an electric hot plate. An electric hot plate is preferred to an open flame heat source because it’s a tad safer, and easier to prevent overheating of the mixture. The mixture must be heated SLOWLY, and over a LOW heat until it just starts to melt. Heating it too quickly, or at too high a temperature will cause it to turn black and might burn, not to mention a fire hazard. In any case, this should all be done outside just in case you overheat it does happen to ignite. As the mixture begins to melt, it will turn brown and look exactly like Carmel Candy. Then just insert the safety fuse and its ready…woohh
Now the problem is where can we find pottasium nitrate and safety fuse. Only brown sugar is what i ahve. wahhh.. Hope someone can help to build this or find a substitute ingredients readily available and is not regulated.
