Default Smoking bbl

Well this Christmas I gave me Daughters 25 year old boyfriend a Tiger. We goofed around in the backyard with my tanks and he seems to like it so I figured it was time he had his own. So I have heard he is actually quite enjoying this and the other day I get a phone call saying the tank has had some modifications to it. First off he is not into historically accuracy, and his primary hobby is restoring and modding cars and trucks. (He has a very fine 61 Chev pickup). Anyway the mods he has done are not to my taste but he is having fun. First off he installed muliple red LEDs in the hull pointing down. When you turn on the tank It has a red glow underneath it. Makes it look menacing I guess. He is going to paint the thing Black to give it that nasty look. OK so far you guys are going, Ya, but no.

Then he tells me about this little mod. He plumbed the smoke discharge into the airsoft chamber. It fills the chamber full of smoke, and when you fire the airsoft a Puff of smoke comes out of the end of the bbl. Now this intrigued me, and not something I had heard about. I may have to resurrect all those old smokers laying around, and see how I can mod them. I haven't seen it yet so I am not sure exaclty what he has done, but when I do, I 'll get pictures.

That sounds very interesting. The standard smoker on its own (at least in my experience) is pretty pathetic and barely noticeable. However, coming out the barrel, one would certainly see it.

You could probably build a custom or modified smoker and put it into the turret.
