AN-M8 Smoke is a U.S. smoke grenade. It creates a white smoke screen that can cover movement, block sightlines, and make open ground safer to cross.
In-Game Function
AN-M8 Smoke is thrown like a grenade and produces a white smoke screen after a short fuse. It has a smoke radius of 500 and lasts 10 seconds. It is available to the U.S. Assault, Medic, Gunner, and Sniper classes.
HISTORY
The real AN-M8 HC smoke grenade was a U.S. white smoke hand grenade. It was a burning-type smoke grenade, meaning it produced smoke by igniting a smoke mixture rather than by exploding. Its main jobs were simple but important: make a screen for small-unit movement, mark a position, or signal aircraft from the ground.
The grenade used a thin sheet-metal body filled with HC smoke mixture and a starter mixture beneath the fuze opening. Once ignited, pressure opened the emission holes and white smoke poured from the body. Ordnance references list its smoke duration at roughly 105 to 150 seconds, much longer than the short fuse before it begins producing smoke.
HC smoke was useful, but it was not harmless. Later U.S. Army training material restricted AN-M8 HC smoke grenades to outdoor use and directed units toward newer white smoke grenades such as the M83.
