Smoke grenades

Why would they float? They are a metal can filled with a metal nitride (potasium is an alkali metal)

There are smoke grenades that are specifically made to float. These would be typically used for maritime search & rescue. Having one in your bailout bag on your boat would be a handy idea if you want to be seen by that search & rescue chopper.
 
^^^^This. Alot of us hunters fish. I been looking for orange flares for the boat for distress. Keep us posted, im in for the orange.

Other distress is red parachute flare, 12 ga.
 
they would be orange in colour, proper marine ones would also be Transport Canada Approved. if I remember correctly the buoyant ones burn for 3 minutes and the handheld ones for 1 minute.

We're expecting more colors of these and the bigger EG-18s next week :)

it would be awesome to have videos of all to compare, as I have noticed the red smoke goes for 30 seconds less than blue in videos. want to pick one that would work well for ski touring, hunting, boating and general outdoors stuff. Really usefull for if you injure yourself and need to signal for help/ show location
 
Can someone tell me the difference between the 2 types you sell other than one cost twice as much. Thanks

Yes, the smaller ones for $9.99 last for about 100 seconds and emit approx 20,000 cu ft. The larger ones also last for approx 100 seconds and emit about 60,000 cu ft of smoke. A great way to test the capacity of your home :) (JOKE!!!)
 
We are planning to be at the Calgary gun show at Easter with our good friends from Shooters Choice 2014. We may bring some smoke :)

Kate;

Are you bringing any stock items with you to the show? If so maybe I can get Dale to pick some stuff up from you for me.
