[brandiprim]

Woohoo go michigan its fuckin cold here

[japanesepoptart]

You live in michigan? that brings up the question: are you a yooper or a troll?

(I'm a troll :)

[Nighthawkinlight]

@japanesepoptart Troll, unfortunately.

[japanesepoptart]

@Nighthawkinlight

lol, I wish I lived up there too. Though I do enjoy an early spring...

[TheRebelEye]

@Nighthawkinlight What? That's a weird term and I'm in Michigan.

[Nighthawkinlight]

@TheRebelEye Over or under the bridge.

[TheRebelEye]

@Nighthawkinlight Under. I see now. Also I commented on another video talking about a community. You interested?

[pipasasas]

wow that should look nice at night

[reensmoka]

hi you guys are awesome!um-believable,thanks for showing us5*+!

[Nighthawkinlight]

Thanks for the comment

[zomaarjustforfun]

I'm from holland, what do you need in the usa to build your own fireworks? some kind of licence..maybe.....? are you allowed to fire them any time you want? In Holland it's extremely illigal to build your own fireworks... unless you have a pyro degree wich cost you 6 years..... and still than, you can;t just build your own fireworks...rules rules....:( ofcource we don't have much open space in holland, as you do in America. wich state do you live? Thanks, Robert

[Nighthawkinlight]

A license is not needed to build fireworks, but it is needed to transport, store, and in some cases to fire them. In Michigan where I live fireworks may only be used with a permit, which MPAG acquires for each shoot.

[FIREWORKSgalor]

Im from Ireland and its illegal to have anything got to do with fireworks at all.. lol.. I buy fireworks and build my own aswel though

[Sanderdvh]

Offcourse it is illegal but thats makes it alot more fun. I dont know if you already know this account: yellowcard299. I am almost sure its a dutchman who makes his own shells you can ask him maybe he knows.

dan weet je dat ook weer xD

[FOATE]

@zomaarjustforfun

It sucks to live in holland, the proffessionals cant even shoot fireworks greater than 3 inch... so the shows really suck :/

[MadMikeSkata]

Oh lol

[MadMikeSkata]

Where Was This Held?

[Nighthawkinlight]

Scotts Michigan.

[21sanooj]

how to make those rockets wery awsom!

[nwfklan]

@21sanooj its not rockets..its shells. watch his videos to see how to make em..

[mitchelltjee]

Nice bunker

[williepie]

some of those had weak lift

[lumpysnake]

Love the echo's

[antiswattt2]

ya.. sounds like some pissed off dog or something q:

[jakentos]

I think that at night the effects are better to be seen

But it is a very cool show!

Hope you make some other shell building movies!

Thank you very much for uploading, and keep the movies coming!

[TheBombBros]

are these manufactured salutes? the camera doesnt do it justice it seems. nice vid.

[Nighthawkinlight]

Yes, they are.

[Tantalpyro]

Very nice salutes.

[AllPyrotechnics]

Hmm, was it KClO4:Al flash powder in the salutes?

[Nighthawkinlight]

Yes. These were commercially manufactured salutes.

[TheBombBros]

@Nighthawkinlight okay i wanted to make sure. handmade salutes have much more punch to them. i forgot to type commercially in there. thankyou

[AllPyrotechnics]

So, is it 100g per shell? (I'm used to hear that amount)

[Nighthawkinlight]

That varies depending on the manufacturer.

[Blissbomb2]

that was awesome, but looked a little too cold.:)

[eveningniteshade]

So these are just normal salutes shot during the day?

In Italy they shoot daylight salutes but they have coloured smoke stars or black smoke. So more of a sight and sound event, then just the sound.

[poprocz]

I like the guys in turnout gear, not only safer but helps with the cold.

[Joeyz444]

i want some!! awesome

[FourEightZero]

0:58 = best

[iceknite5]

they look like exploding flack from a flack cannon btw

[phil1692]

Is there one of yours in?

[Nighthawkinlight]

Unfortunately not. I am yet to fire any of my own shells at an MPAG shoot.

[phil1692]

And what about your big ass one that you were making a tutorial with?

[Nighthawkinlight]

I was unable to fire it at this shoot. It will have to wait until the next

[theartilerysheller1]

everyone is saying it would be better at night but salutes are pretty amazing during the day too

[chrisogmartine]

this is stupid, i really think this is a waste to use it in day time

[Nighthawkinlight]

This was for shooter training, daylight was a must. There will be plenty more seen at night in upcoming videos.

[strobingthunder]

It was for a PGI training course. Daytime shooting is a must.

[VMFA115Starloric]

No, they're called DAYTIME salutes for a reason dipshit!

[moosey333]

its not a waste.. if you didn't practice at daylight the shooters would surely mess up at the show and that would be a waste.

[shinydialga123]

all the ice around that place makes it sounds really cool. the echo of it is nice :) i wanna see it nighttime :)

[Konsolenrocker08]

the one in 1:00 is awesome

[ftgv1]

please launch the multibreak *sad face*

[PyroWareNL]

That is so cool. 0_o

[MakkeSk8]

i love the sound after it breaks :D

[ENGterrorman]

when is the multi break going to be fired?

[tennaco]

As soon as I can get the gun to him. I had it built adn in the truck when work called and forced me to cancel my plans of going to the shoot. I am sorry to all.

[Nighthawkinlight]

Ah no worries my friend, I'll see you at the next shoot. I hope work went well for you over the weekend.

[TBRoy1]

This is where I was talking about!

[Nighthawkinlight]

Barring yet another unforeseen delay, the next MPAG shoot in early spring. I am unsure of the exact date as of yet.

[Pyrotecnican]

@Nighthawkinlight

Hope the stars dont go bad... If they contain any hygroscopic chemical I think they would...

BTW I know one break contains salutes and one some sort of stars... Wich stars do you use, and what's the third break? Bottom shot?

I bet it's annoying to have the shell laying around and know you can't fire it....

Better luck next MPAG shoot...

[Nighthawkinlight]

The stars will not go bad. I store shells in sealed containers containing calcium chloride to deal with any moisture.

First break contains a ring of 2" shell inserts, second, tigertail and ammonium perchlorate purple, third a ring of salute inserts.

[Pyrotecnican]

@Nighthawkinlight

Clever idea! I think I'm going to buy some CaCl2 tomorrow...

Nice effects...! Can't wait to see the launch...!

[devil091213]

very nice in witch country is this?

you live in the U.S right?

[Nighthawkinlight]

Yes...Michigan is in the US.

[devil091213]

all right very nice ! Keep it up!
