MAIN GUN SMOKE

[Graham Ord]

Hi all
What kind of system do you use to make the main gun smoke when the flash,recoil and sound system is fired?

Hi Graham
I had a few experiments when I was building my Comet,but left it when for
the time being,because it still looked like an exhaust,or someone having a Fag.
Needs to be a volume of smoke stored up somehow and shot up the barrel as a cartridge
does
May have also had to choose between Flash or Smoke,because the Flash equipment takes
up a lot of room in the barrel that is needed by the volume of smoke.
The timing of everything could be done with electronics or Micro switches worked off the
recoil or both.
Not much help I know,good luck with your work on yours.
Cheers
Phil

Hello Graham,
I have in my self made leopard1 A5 an Smoke EL system installed. Ok it was very much work, and its not yet so perfect, but the result is ok. it is very expensive Dietrich Weber work on a spezial solution with the Armortek smoker, maybe he shows pictures soon.

Thanks for the replies.
Will have to consider the options.

The problem I see is getting an explosive enough ejection, so it's sudden enough.

Fans are no good as they have to spin up, unless you could run the fan continuously and build a shutter to get a pulse of air when needed.

Something like a smaller version of the Mythbusters chicken cannon would be good.

That, and a good bright flash like Olaf's exhausts to illuminate it, would be quite effective.

Hello guys
Yesterday I had my first really shot with the smokegun
But there still exists the problem to achieve a consistent result. what pressure is ok or not. at high pressure and the oelsmoke ignites and explodes ( Diesel). at too low pressure, there is no really good smoke cloud. Co2 is too could for the smoke.
the smokers' supplies enough smoke what may happen now that's fine tuning

I hope I have results in the next two weeks

i will do my very best

bye and a nice weekend

Yes Dietrich you are on the right Track... with compressed Air will be what.
we wait of your movie, give gas...

I Think the LEDs in the front mussle brake are not bright enough, there would have to clean a real flash.?!
