Hence the damage. Flash powder is DANGEROUS, it was used in grenades for I don't know how long! A static spark can set it off because it has very fine consistancy like baby powder!

m-1000s illegal, contain more than legal amount of flash power, about 500 times more.

WOW that sure looks like a sturdy HOUSE to me!!! What's the manequins made out of ? Plaster! WEAK!!!

Oh Yeah, where in the hell do I get one of them M-1000'S! I've never seen anything that strong in quite a while, looks more like a really well done powder rig!! these little m-90's and m-1000's I have come across around where I live are puny little pieces of shit. NO WAY would it blow-up a damn watermelon!!! UNLESS MAYBE IT WAS INSIDE IT! But you would have to seal it off good!!!

My folks tell me back in like the 70's an M-80 was equivalent to 1/4 stick of dynamite!!!! Aerial shells are fucking DANGEROUSE use them with extreme care! Usually though I can get illegal stuff like shells in alabama or tennesee but I've been there done that! I like just a good ole, whistling moon-traveler myself! WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! BANG!!! Everyone happy 4th to you! ya'll be careful out there!!!
