Traditional M80

About 3 grams of flash powder (1.5 of Magnesium, 1.5 of Potassium Chlorate).

It was incredibly loud and powerful. The video, however, does the M80's sound no justice, as most point and snap cameras are terrible at picking up loud noises (they don't pick up dynamite very well).

you can tell how overloaded the camera's sound system gets by listening to the ambient noise level. Before it goes off, you can hear the wind and static and what-not. After, completely silent :)

@recpyro Yeah. I wish I could figure out how to adjust that.

@mimineachille90 You can find the tubes and plugs on the internet. I cannot remember exactly where I bought the tubes, plugs, and fuse.

The magnesium powder: United Nuclear ($35 for a half pound)

As for the chlorate: Thunder Valley Chemicals ($26 for one pound [after shipping] google it)
