Abstract
The invention is directed to an ammunition casing made of a composite fiber material, which comprises fiber material and a bonding agent, is at least partially flammable and has a high strength. The ammunition casing is particularly useful when surrounding a smoke screen unit, and the combustion reaction products of the composite fiber material form soot particles, preferably of hydrocarbon C.sub.X H.sub.Y, which will contribute to the smoke screen effect of the smoke screen unit during combustion.
