These tests were conducted with plaster dumbies that approximated the size and aerodynamics of a solid grenade. The weight, however, was substantially heavier than real paint grenades, thus weilding results that fall short of the distances achievable by paint grenades.
1.5" ? Loose (no tape) 50 150
1.5" ? Medium (still slid down easily) 70 210
These tests were conducted using smoke bombs commonly purchased at fireworks stores across the country. We use this kind for our own play.
