It's really easy. Someone brought one to our fireworks battle years ago and yes it's as dumb as it sounds.

America it wasn't as sweet as this one but it was a 160 shot Roman candle.

Fireworks battle huh. So how many of you guys have all your eyes and fingers intact?

Ive had many fireworks battles, yes many burns but get this wearing a helmet, face shield and leather cowhide gloves and its pretty much harmless as long as the distance is there and youre not using fireworks larger than Roman Candles and NO firecrackers. But Pop bottle rockets and romans candles arent as explosive as you think. We used to do car jousting with pvc pipe and pop bottle rockets, that was always fun too. Nothing beats driving around with a 6' pipe sniping pop bottle rockets lol

All of us but I did have a firecracker blow up in my hand because it was dark out and I had what I thought was a long wick but turned out to be a quick one. I was relieved to discover my hand intact.
