The orange-brown smoke seen in the exhaust of some missiles, particularly those using hydrazine-based fuels, is primarily due to the presence of nitrogen dioxide (NO2). This reddish-brown gas is a byproduct of the breakdown of dinitrogen tetroxide (N2O4), which is often used as an oxidizer in these rocket engines. When N2O4 decomposes, it forms NO2, which is responsible for the distinctive color of the exhaust plume.

“Hey man, you got any rainbow 🌈 colored gases? We might elect the very first openly gay Pope….because we can if we want to.”
Nope. The only effective method of combat for Kirk versus thebGorn was the two-handed hammer punch. Though it would have been a lot more effective had he actually been holding a sledgehammer or maybe a baseball bat.
If Kirk uses the correct compound using NO2, CH3NO2, the Enterprise could run circles around them. Scotty needs a talking to.
“Is This Something Kirk Can Use in His Fight Against The Gorn?”
Short answer: Yes.
Shorter answer: No.
This is rocket science.
I was told there would be no rocket science.
The U.S. needs common-sense Gorn control.
Gorn control for the masses!
A Gorn in every pot!
Maybe, if he can reason it out.
If he does, things are Gorn get ugly…
