Fireworks thread

Love fireworks. Don't give a damn about the pretty colors or what image they burst into. I just love the sound of them.

Are fireworks illegal in general?

The placing on the market and possession for sale of any pyrotechnic product not recognized by the Ministry and / or free from regulatory label is strictly prohibited by law in my country,i don't know how it works in other countries.

I have seen some of these illegal fireworks,and from the explosion they were able to cause i would have classified those as home-made bombs rather than fireworks...

No.... cause my dogs gets scared of them.

You're lucky then, it's not easy to calm dogs down who are scared of fireworks.

There are legal outlets to buy fireworks,but there are many people who crave to buy the illegals one,what's the difference between the two?That the illegals one are usually less expensive and much more potent,to the point why i defined them home-made mini bombs.

I agree. When they're well-handed, by someone who knows what they're doing, they're magnificent.

As for dogs (and cats) being scared, that is unfortunate, and while I certainly enjoy them less now that there's a pet around (poor little thing) they can still be enjoyable enough.
What I WILL NOT tolerate is them being handled in a stupid way. For example people throwing them near others (even people walking dogs - would that actually count as a suicide if the dog took is as an assault and killed the thrower? Because it certainly would be.) or near vehicles (seriously, the last time one exploded some ten, fifteen feet away from a car I was in, I had a sudden urge to hang the culprit by the balls) are idiots, and should be eaten as soon as we get a Krogan to do it.


Simply enough, they're only fun once you're in safe distance.

(And yeah, I have a fondness for explosives in ArmA, but don't tell anyone about the evil cackles I make when someone gets blown up by my tiny little sizzlers.)

Dude they got nothing on army signal flares.

They use straight up phosphorus not a black powder mixture. That will cook you down to the bone, its a fire that won't stop burning until its fuel supply runs out.

They aren't as pretty and only come in four colors but still. Neat all the same.

Because flares are fireworks technically?

I love fireworks. Before his eyes started failing, my brother-in-law used to put together a spectacular home display with his best friend. Now the friend has moved away and he really can't see well enough to do it safely.

I LOVE fireworks...as long as they're kept well out of reach of my reckless younger daughter... she's already singed her hand playing with a lit fire cracker, I'd had to see the epic (Merry& Pippin type) damage she could do with actual fireworks. ...you'd think a woman in her twenties would know better...but her boyfriend told her 'not to touch' so she did.
