    You know all the varieties that work underwater after being lit?... I've blown holes in buckets with those. Not to mention taking metal cans and things and having them end up with punched holes and warped bulges.

    Plus, for fishing........

    saturn missile batterys rule. perfect for those bottle rocket fights, just place it under your boot and aim the direction you wanna create mass chaos in. and watch your opponents freak...all rational thought goes right out the window and the flight instinct kicks in and you get to watch the fun

    A guy I know cuts ping pong balls in ½ and packs them with black powder,inserts a fuse and glues the ½s back together......These things are way louder than the old real M80s we used to get...

    Mortars, M-80's, bottle rockets, black cats, jumping jacks, roman candles and those little tiny ones that when you light the fuse, the twirl up in the air like helicopters, and sometimes fly towards the closest victim...always fun...heh

    I'm a big ole wuss...I hate the ones that make loud noises. I prefer the ones that go WAY up in the air and are all pretty and sparkly.

    On a side note...I ALSO went to SC to buy fireworks! Hey, just because I don't like the loud noises doesn't mean anyone else cares...trust me there will be lots of loud noises coming from my backyard tomorrow....lol!

    Like these things called cobras everyother year am in Asia on New Years they come in a coil about 1 1/2 Trangle packages, (good ear protection required) can get them 250, 500, 1000 each one blows the hair straight back on the head all sort of like a cross between a M80 and 1/4 stick, next to that anything from a Motar.
