If you put a conglomeration of lit smokebombs inside a breakable clay container that would collapse on impact with the ground, couldn't you create a really good smoke-bomb projectile? (first image)


Any comments?

i dont know about the potassium nitrate one because its not like others where the smoke comes out 1 hole. it burns the hole area that is touching air. so if you like it it might only smoke on the 1 side with the wick until its in the air. also the first one they need air to burn the wick so it might go out. you should still try them tho.

You won't light the smoke bombs upon launch or impact.

Furthermore, this violates rule #3; being both a self-contained reaction and an incendiary device.
