My grandfather always had a story of two of his adventures as a kid. One of his favorite childhood activities was to blow up anthills and cow pies with "real" firecrackers. Some of those I remember him talking about were the standby Cherry Bombs, M-80s and Silver Salutes. Here's a question for the consensus:
In order of potency, which were more powerful?
Also, if you happen to know, perhaps you could assign each a number indicating their power (1-10, 1 being your typical Black Cat firecrackers that come in the strips, 10 being the oft fabled quarter stick of Dynamite).
*Cherry Bombs
*M-80s
*Silver Salutes
Also, if you happen to know what the heck a "torpedo" is, I'd love to know! It seems they might have been related to cherry bombs, but my search is coming up with conflicting info.
BTW, I'm completely aware all of these evil, devil-made slayers of all things good are illegal in all our freedom-loving states; I'm simply curious.
Thanks in advance.
