(57) This invention relates to a smoke generating bomb or shell used for example to break
up riots or to provide a screen for troops. The body (13) and tail member (14) of
the bomb are constructed out of cross-link plastic material. Incorporated between
the smoke composition (30) and the inner wall of the bomb body is an insulating sleeve
(35). The cross-linking of the plastic can be achieved by either gamma irridation
or by the use of cross-linking additive agents. The use of plastic body and sleeve
is likely to reduce the cost of manufacture considerably.
