19 Dec 2022 Garand Ground Signal Picture of the Day
M22 Smoke
Introduced in the latter portion of the war, it was impact activated and provided approximately one minute of colored smoke, emitted from five holes at the base of the head. The color band at the neck of the shaft indicated the color smoke, which was either red, green, violet, or yellow. The m23a1, Smoke Streamer, was a 12-second signal which ignited almost immediately upon firing. Air entered a hole in the nose and smoke was forced out holes in the base, producing a streamer of color. Similar in appearance but it lacks the detonating fuse and safety pin.
