smoke grenade
Tactical fog bomb
A smoke grenade is a canister that releases dense smoke when activated, used by military forces to obscure movement, signal positions, or mark targets.
Police use them for crowd control.
In video games, smoke grenades provide tactical cover: Pop a smoke grenade and push through.
Colored smoke variants serve for signaling or celebrations.
