1 3/4" Titanium Mortar Shell

From a couple of years ago, this is a professional grade Titanium Salute mortar shell. This is not to make pretty lights in the sky, only for the amazing sound effect.
VERY LOUD!

Oh my gosh, steel tube and concrete around it. That salute would send shrapnel flying if it went in the tube.

Steel tubes are what all the pro's use and it was sand in the bucket, not cement.

@SeeYouNextFall They use hdpe racks until around 6" diameter, then they use buried hdpe through 12" then 16-24" they use buried steel.

In my area, they use HDPE for the larger mortars, but galvanized steel for the smaller ones.

I guess its just a matter of choice.

How do you make these?

[davis050594]

@SeeYouNextFall With color shells, steel is fine, but it's way to heavy.
