Diana and Jackie Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Please can anyone - someone? confirm the size of a CVRT smoke discharger tube. A Daimler Ferret is 65mm~ OD x 120mm~ L, though the CVRT dischargers appear longer and appear to have a larger diameter. Diana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Diana, Don't have one handy to measure, but can confirm they are larger. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diana and Jackie Posted September 27, 2016 Author Share Posted September 27, 2016 Thanks Chris, I believe they are designed to take a 66mm smoke grenade. Diana Diana, Don't have one handy to measure, but can confirm they are larger. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnwardle Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I'll measure one tomorrow, I did notice today while rummaging about in the stores that the smoke discharger cap packets are marked 'Cap Smoke Discharger CVRT' so they could be larger than Ferret ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starfire Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 My Saracen is fitted with the later 4 barrelled smoke dischargers and they have a larger diameter and instead of using a separate charge to propel them, appear to have an electric probe that goes into the bottom of the grenade and sets it off that way.

Diana and Jackie Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 Thanks Andrew and to everyone else who replied. I am making some dummy discharger tubes of course and want to be about as right as I can be.

johnwardle Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Hi Diana, I measured the smoke dischargers on a Spartan, the Scimitar ones are difficult to reach from the ground and we aren't allowed to climb on any vehicle. outside diameter 82mm inside diameter 66mm length 175mm John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
