Not exactly. There's usually one tube and 6-8 (or so) shells. They aren't one use but they are limited uses.

Where's the video.

You know there's a video.

If I was around someone that was going to do something this fricking stupid, you better believe I'm videoing it.








Then I'm posting it on YouTube.

In this case it generated quite a bit of revenue. The fireworks, alcohol, medical attention, mortuary and burial services, florists, and a new job opening.

Threw an empty box of artillery shells in the fire one time



Well...somebody miscounted

It was quite a show to see about 4 lawn chairs fall over backwards in unison

No pics or video don't give two shits

We had a fireworks stand for about 5 years and the fireworks company would always give us stuff they couldn't sell and used for promotions. One year they give us a few artillery shells that were twice the diameter of the normal ones. They had mounted 4 of them on a 2x4 and you only had to light one fuse for all of them to go off. The rep told ro be SURE that we folded out the little stands to keep it from tipping over as each shot fired. Me and a buddy go out in a parking lot to shoot them off and there is a crowd of people to watch. We set this down and he lights it, I said, we didn't fold those stabilizers out! That genius runs up to it and kicks it over. I was like what in the hell did you just do? The first one goes off and out into a field, I don't know how someone didn't die on the last three. One went under a car and one into the crowd.

That's putting your head into it.

I didn't know any black people lived in Maine. Probably none there now after this.
