What's a sparkler bomb?
We used to have bottle rocket wars. Cut the ends off of whiffle ball bats and use them as rocket launchers.

Tightly wrap electrical tape around several packs of sparklers while leaving one elevated as a wick. Creates a serious explosion. Can see on YouTube.

And you can still find them from time to time. Friend gave me a few ten years ago and I lit one at a time because they were so loud the cops came down the street.


they had to be homemade ones

not sure about farmer ones

I worked with a guy that made dixie cup blasters...not sure how much powder... but everyone was impressed

2 dixie cups with the mixture between them and a foot long fuse to get far far away

dogs would crap the carpet hearing one go off...no joke

If a retired trucker cannot tell me where to procure genuine M-80 explosive devices; DANGER; Not for Re-Sale, then what has this world come to?

With men marrying men and women marrying women, you'd think that a baw could procure a genuine M-80 explosive device; DANGER; Not for Re-Sale, but I guess that the US of A in the 21st Century does NOT abide a baw and his wholesome interest in explosive devices on New Year's fricking Eve.

HAMMERTIME!

What's up with you for New Years? Blowin stuff up, drinkin and fightin, right?

Tannerite looks like the real shite, baw. Thanks. I can mix up a pound set it out in a field shoot it with my M1 Garand from 200 yards away to detonate the Tannerite.

Either blowing stuff up and getting drunk with my buds or going out in New Orleans, getting drunk, and bringing home a random

I don't even know if Academy still sells Tannerite, but my roommate has 10lbs sitting in his closet waiting to be shot at. He blew up a canoe with it last year and almost killed his brother. Planning on getting rid of an old TV the same way soon

I've been watching Tannerite hunting videos for a half hour now. It's oddly fascinating.

Talk to someone still in the Army, Reserve or National Guard about getting some grenade simulators. They make M-80s look like kid's toys.
