Comments: Kaboom! 10 Facts About Firecrackers That Will Blow You Away
I served in a war zone. I spent a career in and around noisy airplanes. I hate fireworks. Never saw any use to making a lot of light, noise and smoke unless something useful came out of it.

As with everything else in life there is a price to pay. Noise, light and smoke are woven into my freedom. and i celebrate them all as much as i can everyday not knowing how many i have been allowed, or how many are left for me to enjoy. Nor caring if anyone else joins me. Personally i would love to watch the anvil tossing. As we said when we were kids and fired a M-80 under an old paint can. " Blowed up real good "

I've made and deployed all sorts of energetic materials devices: C2, C4, det cord, deta sheet.
What I'd call working stuff. I use Pyrodex for fun.
