Gunfire smoke
tonyH:
Now that the pyro route has well and truly been hammered out elsewhere, has anyone got a solution for gunfire smoke.
The bang, flash and recoil can be done electronically but smokeless propellant wasn't around when Victoria was a girl.
Any ideas pleeze?

Gary, we have had a similar problem. The solution was ashes, which will be blown out by an pneumatic system which just opens via an electrial controled valve (opening time 0,7 seconds). The pressure will be kept in a piece of a tube from a bycicle, which can be filled by a standard pump. The ashes had been inserted with a small syringe.
But it was always a bad job to clean the decks after the "shots". Unfortunately the model was sold three years ago and no photographs had been made. But it looked very realistic.
Hope this was out of any help for you.
Happy modeling, J?rg

Could you use one of the new smoke generators from jjc into a manifold and then use valves on a number of outlets to allow it to each gun or set of guns at a time.
