I have loved anything fire related ever since I was a kid. and I've always wanted to learn but never found a good way. if there's anything to help me learn pyrotechnics and how fireworks work I would really appreciate it

(I promise I’m not a cop) but Phantom Fireworks just wasn’t really cutting it this year and I’m looking to spend a little on something a little bigger. Are there any known websites that ship or contacts in the New England/MA area that would be able to help me out? I’m looking for suspected air-raid level explosions. Anyways thanks

Hi im interested in how powerful are police flashbang grenades that they throwing at protests.

There are many cases where people blew there fingers of because they picked it up and tried throwing them back.

For me it seems like the power is equivalent to a 20-50 g Kclo4/AL firecracker.

What do you guys think or have you seen a police flashbang live in real life?

Do you guys have any safety tips for dealing with these black cats artillery’s I just bought I wanna make sure I have fun and keep all my limbs tonight

My fellow Pyros,

As we start our morning preparations for our Fourth of July shows, I just wanna say thank you for this community and for the Pyro community in general. What an amazing group of people.

I’m happy to be able to celebrate 250 years of independence with articles pyrotechnics across the country!

Best of luck to all of you on your shows and have an amazing Fourth of July!

When I was a kid about 15 years ago my dad’s cousin gave me a bag of what I assume were Japanese fireworks. I remember specifically pink hello kitty fireworks and yellow pokemon fireworks. I cannot find a picture on the internet to show my husband !! Please help me find these fireworks 😄

I know this is probably a dumb question, but it is outside my experience or knowledge level.

When making simple pyrotechnics like an M80, is it important that the flash power fill the tube or be tightly compacted.

My experience is primarily from reloading and gun related fun. I tried to research fireworks, but I have found little information about how volume plays into perfy. I see commercial fireworks that are trying to appear like old school M80s, but there is no way the flash power fills the tube. What am I missing?

I live in chicago and i go to indiana to buy my fireworks every year but never could find fireworks like haf stick, coconut bombs, cracker jack, snake bites, etc i see people selling them in chicago for 35$-50$ so i want to know where i could buy them near indiana area.

I use a 50:30:20 ratio and i don't know how 9µm indian dark flake aluminium powder will perform in this mix.
