Many people all over the world are now getting hooked with paintball. As compared to other gun sports, paintball is not dangerous or harmful. However, if you don't have the right equipments, you can get injured. Proper equipments should be used to ensure the safety of players and if you're also interested in this type of sport, you must purchase the necessary equipments because the referee won't allow you to play without them.

There are various kinds of paintball accessories that you need to but and that includes smoke grenades.

With a smoke grenade, you can run or hide from your opponents. When you're already in the actual combat field or arena, you can use the smoke grenades to create smoke screens. You can also use the grenades in communicating signals to your teammates. The grenades are available in different colors like red, green, yellow, orange, violet, white, black, and blue. The grenades are usually sold in canisters and you can easily carry them with you.

The actual smoke grenades are scalding hot and so you have to make sure that the grenades don't come into contact with the body. However, the smoke grenades used in paintball are different. The grenades won't give you any painful effects but you can also use them as shield to protect you from your opponents.

There paintball smoke grenades are of two kinds:

1. Standard - this kind of smoke grenade can create about 100,000 cu ft of smoke that can last for about four minutes. The smoke is usually colored orange and you need to ignite them manually. It also has a pin that you need to pull just like the actual grenade.

2. Flameless - this kind of smoke grenade is used mostly in military and police training; it is battery operated and it is flameless. The smoke grenade produces big smoke which can help players to hide from opponents.

When you're purchasing for smoke grenades, there are some things to consider. One time limit; you need to choose grenades which produce lasting smoke. Some grenades produce smokes that last for two minutes or for as long as tem minutes. The longer the smoke lasts, the better.

The smoke range is another consideration in purchasing smoke grenades. Make sure that you choose a grenade which produces a wide range of smoke. There are grenades that create about 500,000 cu ft smoke but these are a bit expensive as compared to grenades with a narrow range of smoke. When using the wide range smoke grenades, you have to ensure that you're in a wide open space so that accidents can be avoided.

Smoke grenades vary in time limit and smoke range. The price is also dependent on these factors. If you have limited budget, you will be able to get smoke grenades that are not very effective. You have to set aside enough budgets for the other paintball accessories like smoke grenades because it can help you in combating your opponents.

Shop around the local paintball stores or you can also do some online shopping. Do some comparisons and be sure to consider the factors mentioned earlier.
