I'm probably breaking UK Law just looking at that monstrosity.

ROFL!

I'm sending that to Mrs. Dual, and a couple of co-workers now.
I promise not to duck.

A good friend of mine lives in an unincorporated area where fireworks are legal. His neighbor has an "In" with a fireworks dealer and gets his stuff at cost. Every year they do absolutely massive displays; almost as large as "pro" shows, but directly overhead so more impressive. Always a good time, and never any issues. Until this year.

Another guy on the cul de sac wanted in on the fun, and bought a ton of stuff on his own. No problems, except he had a bunch of his retarded gang banger relatives out who were setting stuff off. They put one in the launch tube upside down, it "launched" into the ground, and one of the big ole flaming chunks smacked my wife in the face.  :mad: About a 1/2 in below her eye too. She's fine, but we had to leave. If I went over there I don't think I could've controlled myself, and getting sent to prison would not have helped my wife in any way. Irresponsible bastards.

The other night, some one had mortar shells with m-80 grade bangs aboard.

quite impressive

Quote
Due to property damages and bodily harm caused by M-80s, Class C fireworks—now known as Consumer Fireworks (class 1.4G), as opposed to Display Fireworks (which were Class B, and are now 1.3G)[4]— civilians are no longer allowed to carry more than 50 milligrams of pyrotechnic flash powder. In 1966, M-80s and cherry bombs were banned by the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the Child Protection Act of 1966. Furthermore, they were then made illegal by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) in the 1970s. In 1975, U.S. federal regulations were passed to limit all consumer-grade fireworks in the United States to a maximum of 50 milligrams flash powder, down from a previous maximum of 200 milligrams (though firecrackers mounted onto a rocket stick, or other aerial firework devices, such as Rockets, Roman Candles, and Cakes, may have up to 160 mg).

I wonder how many grams of 4F we used to fit in empty co2 cartridges?

Best name for a firework ever,  :lol:
"so I ended up getting the above because I didn't want to make a whole production of sticking something between my knees and cranking. To me, the cranking on mine is pretty effortless, at least on the coarse setting. Maybe if someone has arthritis or something, it would be more difficult for them." - Ben
