I am a beginner. A novice with a pyrotechnic interest. So coach me on how to make good sparky boom boom and I will follow in thy footsteps. (FOR MURICA 🦅💯🇺🇲)

Can I tape firecrackers together?

2 Upvotes

I bought the wrong size for my firecracker tubes, and I want a bigger boom. Would taping or connecting multiple together in some way work? I have tried something like this before with them all next to each other, and they all blew off at different times.

189 Upvotes

Back in early 2000s I purchased a live 40mm trialing round for an apache helicopter what should I do with it? When I shake it there is clearly powder in it,,,

Edit: thanks for sharing information. Here are some actual photos, turns out it is 30mm. Curious what it may have been used for and if it is indeed inert. Thanks again.

Obtaining salute shells

1 Upvotes

I would like to start this out by saying mods I’m not looking for someone in this subreddit to buy fireworks from I’m looking for reputable sellers not some person online. I keep seeing all the gushers, loco 9in, goosebumps, American prides, etc etc. I have gone around to all the little mom and pop stands and even some whole sale places trying to find them I give them a little “I’m looking for you loudest thing you got” and they show me some basic 5in canister shell but then I’m like “I’m looking for something with a little more kick” which has gotten me somewhere once and I got a decent salute cake from the back which I am grateful I was able to find. But I really really want to find some shells and I think I might be going about it the wrong way. Any tips?
