Here is a video of Crimson Powder in use ... Note the lack of smoke & low report ( unlike BP ).

The simplest solution is to ban piston launchers, altogether.

wasn't crimson powder designed for ejection charges? why not use golden powder?

how about using a MMX motor turned upsidedown that you ignite electrically then have it ignite the real motr...lol.....

next thing you know we'll have people "washing" the insides of their piston tubes with flammable liquids that evaporate......

maybe pistons should just be banned from FAI competition. That probably is the best solution to prevent any and all cheating.

whatever man can create; man can undercut.....
