This video compares three types of smoke devices for tactical obscuration: a hand-activated smoke grenade (TLSFX SP90), a grenade-launched smoke munition, and an emergency smoke signal. The SP90 is highlighted for its rapid, dense white smoke output, effectively obscuring large areas quickly. The grenade-launched option provides good coverage but less volume than the SP90, while the emergency signal produces a longer-lasting, but less dense, orange smoke.
This video demonstrates the effect of live ammunition impacting an active smoke grenade. It tests .22LR, 9mm, and 12 gauge rounds against the grenade, revealing that the impact causes the grenade to fragment and spread burning material, rather than extinguishing it. The experiment highlights the unpredictable and potentially hazardous outcome of shooting active pyrotechnic devices.
This video compares three sizes of SLSFX smoke grenades: São Paulo 45, 70, and 90. While the smallest initially appears to produce comparable smoke, the larger models offer significantly longer duration. The demonstration highlights their effectiveness in creating visual cover, even in outdoor environments, suggesting their utility for civilian tactical signaling or signaling purposes.
This video demonstrates the use of a civilian-legal grenade launcher with six different types of grenades. It showcases flashbang, smoke (red and yellow), whistle, detonator, and colored (firework-like) rounds. The presenter highlights the differences in smoke density and visual/auditory effects, suggesting applications for concealment, crowd control, and wildlife management, while emphasizing the need to check local laws.
This video details the loadout of a Spiritus Systems assaulter kit's back panel.

It serves as a strong cautionary example against using such devices in enclosed environments.
This video demonstrates a critical tactical principle: thermal optics can penetrate smoke, a common misconception often perpetuated by video games. The demonstration, conducted by an experienced individual on a field range, shows a soldier moving through smoke is clearly visible on thermal imaging. This highlights the importance of understanding modern optics capabilities in real-world scenarios.

The demonstration highlights the effective deployment of a large smoke screen. Instruction is provided by Polenar Tactical, known for their expertise in tactical equipment.
This video presents a "Pick One" scenario comparing the P90 and the MP5k PDW in a high-stakes, covert extraction mission from Gaza. The scenario simulates a post-military chief of security tasked with rescuing a CEO's daughter from Hamas captivity. The discussion weighs the pros and cons of each firearm, equipped with common accessories like red dots, lights, lasers, and suppressors, for a clandestine infiltration and extraction, emphasizing the need for concealed weapons and operating outside of official authorization. The analysis includes considerations for the challenging subterranean environment and the urgency of a limited operational window.
This video demonstrates the tactical applications of smoke grenades, primarily for distraction and creating escape opportunities in dangerous situations. It highlights their use in diverting attention from a mob or clearing a path through a crowded vehicle. The demonstration shows the intense smoke output and the challenges of remaining in a confined space during deployment.
