- I can't tell if you are serious or not. There are not really any
- effective D&D-smoke-bomb-disappearing-act devices out there; at least none
- that you could use in a hurried situation, like being mugged or something.
- However there is something that I could suggest. Something which they
- don't have that much of in the Orient. However I personally do not like
- these items. But, hell, you can buy 'em (if you're a citizen). Maybe...
- maybe... maybe... just maybe... a gun?
- I wouldn't rely on home made pyrotechnic devices for personal
- defense. Yeah you could use some contact explosive or something (read
- Ammonia Tri-iodine); but how effective could this be? Get some mace.
- Don't go to places where you would normally need high explosives to stay
- alive.
