According to the manual for the 3D6, the average width of the smokescreen is 27 meters and the average height is 8 meters. The total time taken to generate a smoke screen of the specified dimensions is 10-20 seconds. This does not include the time of flight which can take around 8 to 10 seconds, so the total time between the moment of launching the grenade and the formation of a full smokescreen ranges from 15 to 22 seconds. ![]() The grenades will travel anywhere from 200 meters to 350 meters after launch, and it takes between 7 to 12 seconds to produce a full smokescreen measuring 10 m to 30 m in width and 3 m to 10 m in height depending on various environmental factors. The propulsion charge is located in the base of the grenade and the expanding propellant gasses exit the grenade and enter the smoke grenade launcher through twelve small vent holes around the circumference of the base and six holes on the end of the base.
