Smoke grenades and smoke bombs are an important tactical element in airsoft sports. They obscure the opponent's view, ensure that your teammates can retreat, or ensure that the enemy is driven out of his cover. To ensure that nothing goes wrong when using the Airsoft smoke bomb, you should not ignore a few important safety aspects and pay attention to the quality when purchasing the products. This quality is particularly available from the long-established brand suppliers of smoke grenades. These include Enolagaye, Pyrotac and Taginn, aka Airsoft Pyrotechnics. In today's article we have looked a bit at the individual providers, their range and the special features of the individual products in order to give you a better overview and to give you a little help with your purchasing decision.
If you are looking for an inexpensive range with a large selection of products, as an airsoft player you will usually end up with the well-known English brand Enolagaye. Over the last 10 years, the guys from England have not only developed a wide range of different smoke bombs and other pyrotechnic items for the airsoft market, but they also clearly offer the largest selection in this area. From the small, handy smoke bomb for under 5 euros to the large smoke body for use in the military sector and for shows and events, there is really everything you could wish for. The products are simple and work. Enolagaye has placed great value on this since day one. Enolagaye has also been trying to make a name for himself in the field of film production and photography for several years. Hundreds of filmmakers across Europe are already using smoke bombs for their film and photo effects. Below you will find an overview of the individual products from Enolagaye.
These small and particularly handy smoke grenades are by far the cheapest models on the market. The smoke output is manageable compared to the large smoke grenades, but you can still set markings very well and inexpensively with it or even fog a small room.
As the name suggests, the wirepull grenade is ignited by a rip cord. Not many smoke grenades on the market offer this feature. Enolagaye values simple, reliable products. That is why they have long since said goodbye to fuses and lighters and only offer their customers breakaway fuse models.
If you want to produce a lot of smoke quickly, use the Enolagaye Burst smoke grenade . It has the same amount of charge as the wirepull grenade, but burns in half the time. In other words, you have twice as much smoke output per second.
These two models are among the largest smoke grenades from Enolagaye that are available to private consumers. The EG18 is a large smoke grenade with a trigger fuse that conjures up dense smoke walls in the area. Enolagaye also offered his EG18 smoke bomb to the military, but the professionals wanted even more smoke output and so the even more powerful EG18X smoke grenade was created. A military smoke grenade for training that you can also buy freely as a civilian.
By far the largest airsoft smoke grenade that can be freely purchased on the civilian market. This model was originally developed for the military. It is now also used at events and tournaments in the scene. The smoke emission is so strong that you should definitely consult the local authorities before using it. With a purchase price of around 60 euros, this model is by far the most expensive model on the market. But also among the most effective.
The company PyroTac produces one of the most popular premium products in the field of smoke grenades with its M18 smoke grenade. The Pyrotac M18 smoke grenade is so popular because it is not only close to the original in size and handling, but also offers a really powerful smoke output. With a single Pyrotac M18 smoke grenade, an entire tank hall can be turned into thick, opaque smoke. So if you are looking for a really effective, realistic smoke bomb for airsoft sports, this model is the right choice for you. The PyroTac M18 smoke grenade is available in 8 color variants.
The manufacturer Taginn is best known for its high-quality airsoft hand grenades in various designs. To round off the range, Taginn has now brought its own airsoft smoke grenade onto the market. This is also called M18 and is made in the usual good Taginn quality. In terms of price, the Pyrotac M18 and the Taginn M18 smoke grenade are not really that different. In terms of performance, the Taginn M18 has a slightly stronger smoke output, but is only available in one color, white.
