I buy a shitload of ground flowers and whistle rockets and have wars w/ some of my friends...then we go to a big as parking lot that's never gonna be finished...turn over the 50 gal drum and place 4 gallon jugs half filled w/ gasoline and 2 blockbusters under the garbage can.....what a finale.....any thing left gets tossed into the fire......I wish I could take redit for thinking that one up but I was just copying what the guidos in Richmond hill, NY used to do at the park every year....those guys guys show up w/ carloads of fireworks.......man I have seen 2 dudes get their hands blown half off from the stuff they bring......like digger & corrado said alcohol and explosives...that's 'Mericin as U kin git!!!!
 
Everything here is illegal. Anything explosive is illegal in California. The next county sells fountians and stuff... The ground flowers are kinda cool... They fit in paintball gun barrels perfectly.. and look like a bottle rocket when shot. When i go to Arkansas to visit my grandpa and uncle, i light off some fireworks... they have some good stuff there, and pretty cheap too. A friend and i made a firecracker... well maybe dynamite... It was a 8 inch piece of 2 inch pvc. We glued and capped both ends and drilled a hole in one cap. Then we filled it up and packed it down... Took about a half hour to fill... It was so packed I'm surprised we could get a fuse in there. We shoved a 10 inch fuse in the hole and hot glued it in there. Then, on new years, we took it outside (i live out in the country... our nearest neighbor is like 500 yards away.). We found a hole and stuck it in. He lit the fuse and we ran our asses off (the flying pvc shards are scary to think about when flying at such a high velocity). Well, it went off, and the hole grew like 10 times the size. The ground shook and the house rattled. My mom came out of the house and said, are you guys ok? LOL They said the windows sounded like they were gonna break. There was a few little tiny pieces of plastic blown into the sides of the hole, and nothing else. The loudness of that thing was unbelievable. Sounded like 10 .44 magnums in one... Loudest thing i have ever heard. I can say, i will never do that again... The cops started patrolling the streets like 5 mins after it went off.
 
LOL nice......... I've never tried to make my own fireworks. My parents would never let me.

done,i have 2 nice holes in my yard now.
 
We have a huge 4th of July party each year. We live in a court that we block off just before dark.

This year we have the following planned;
A bounce house for the kids at 10 am-11 pm.
All pools on the court open up at 1 pm.
BBQs fire up at 5 pm.
Live music starting 6 pm.
Kids parade at 7 pm. (about 30 children on thier bicycles, scooters, eletric cars, etc.)
Fireworks (legal) start at dark.

I'm in charge of the fireworks. This year we have spent $447.00 in the first purchase. It's Red Devil's 80 lb box plus a lot of additional poppers and sparklers for the little ones. So far I have around 100 bls of asorted fireworks with more to buy. We expect around 150-200 poeple will attend this year.

As usual it will be a blast!

my buddy and i used to shoot 1lb propane tanks on the 4th. 40-60foot mushroom clouds. gotta love cabins in the middle of nowhere.

Man I have alway wanted to try that but with a huge tank lol. There are lot of places where my dad goes to sight in his guns that would work perfect lol

Yes, well i now realize that. As i said, never again. As far as the potato gun, yes, my friend and i made 2 of em. The both work on compressed air. They out-do any ignition-style ones out there.
 
I just got back from Wi. and picked up $400 worth!!! It was sweet because we found 2 shops that was buy one get one free so I actually only spent $200 but got $400 worth. Got some pretty sweet poop. I got a mortor that was $90 alone (I went 50/50 with a buddy), and its the size of a basketball. I have to dig a 2 ft by 2 ft by 2ft deep hole, place the ball in there, and the fuse is on a reel with 50 yards of fuse..lol.. Gonna be sweet, Gonna blow some sit up..lol..
 
man that sounds awsome ...i love that it has a fuse on a reel...you should get a pic of that before you pop it
 
Holy crap thats alot of fireworks! Put everything in a pile and take a picture of it lol.
 
ah, we just shot the big one off!!! Sorry I didnt get to take a pic of it. I didnt read this till now. I still have most my other stuff I can snap a pic of, but the big one we HAD to shoot off once it got dark.. It was like money burning a hole in our pockets and just had to get lit. It was pretty fricken awesome. Ill see if I can take a pick of the hole it made in the ground.. Shits pretty awesome.
