Would a PETN shaped charge hidden in a RØDE Wireless PRO release any visible phenomena?
A small amount of light gray/white smoke or vapor is produced from incomplete combustion products (e.g., trace CO, unoxidized particles) and vaporized liner material (copper or polymer fragments). High explosives like PETN and Comp B have good oxygen balance, so smoke is much less than low explosives (e.g., black powder) or pyrotechnics. For such small quantities (grams), the smoke cloud would be modest — a brief puff dispersing quickly in open air, not a thick lingering plume.

Exploding Mic Theory PART 2 — Jon Bray Reveals His Tests + The Butch Hibbs / Baron Theory
__________
UPDATE: Bray provides the best description I have seen for how Kirk was killed and by what.
To cut to the chase — (all speculation with excellent analysis), Kirk’s microphone apparatus contained a PETN shape charge which forcefully blew a gas at Mach 7 into his chest.
That is what killed him. To most doctors the wound would have looked like a bullet wound.
Shrapnel from the exploded mic or battery case was blown up under his shirt and struck Kirk in the neck.
This explains the odd nature of his neck wound and how it bled.
The neck wound was not what killed Kirk and was not part of the plan.
Be sure to watch the vid when you have time. Bray speaks calmly and with sufficient specificity to make a strong case. Highly recommended. ABN
