The red powder was neither a defoliant, nor an anti-coagulant. It was simply red powder that was packed around the flechettes, so that when the warhead exploded and ejected the pattern of darts, the helicopter pilot could see the 'cone' and direction of his shot. Without the red powder, it would be very hard to see whether their unguided rockets were on target.

General Dynamics used to make those things down at our pack plant in, I think, Mississippi or Alabama.

Nothing sinister... just talc/chalk dust.

Cheers,

Correct. I fired a pair of these in Desert Storm at tracer rounds coming from a bush. They couldn't hit me as I was over 500 meters away and doing 80+ knots. They lost. 4400 flechettes, I think they were about 25 grains each, and three Iraqis were stapled. One was still doing the kickin chicken when I passed over them. But the red powder is primarily for visual confirmation the warhead successfully deployed
