In Afghanistan, we had Remington 870s that we used blanks with in order to basically scare off birds and wildlife (also locals) without actually using ammunition. Those and flares were our Canada Day celebration devices. That and we used an M3 on a confiscated toyota we took from suspected Taliban. Fun times.
Yeah, we used artillery, MK-19's, and good old Ma Deuce to scare away the wildlife and locals.

We never had a chance to use our fifty cals like that. We had little enough ammo anyways.
I have this thing about fire
Comes from a Salamander space heater lighting my leg on fire
look man
i once set my leg hair on fire and it flash burned up the leg of my shorts and decimated my manbush
you can't let this stuff set you back
you gotta get back up that horse and then set it on fire and ride it around while it burns
It was one of them traumatic experiences that you have when you're little
Like I don't go near the Salamander anymore, haven't in 14 years
Dad does not understand why

i know, it's total bullshit. i don't wanna be around the kind of people who would rather walk around a smelly-ass convention hall than go blow shit up.

huh
so apparently people who attend conventions based on an entire genre of animation known for terrible craftsmanship, emo storytelling and horrible geek fans are a bunch of pussies?

This year I am planning on reinforcing a mortar launch tube, mounting it, and using it like a cannon to shoot at things in the Puget Sound from my friend's beach.

One year my uncle brought a box of two-inch four-stage shells from Mexico. We also had one of those pre-packed displays that had a tube that was approximately two inches in diameter.
Take careful note of the word "approximately." This will come back into play.
So after a while we decide that glorious four-stage explosions were not enough, and that we wanted to start launching them two at a time. So I drop another shell in my tube, and my cousin drops a shell in the tube left over from the other fireworks. Mine shoots way up in the sky, while his tumbles about twelve feet into the air and then hits the ground between us.
We probably should have warned the audience, who was sitting about ten yards away in lawn chairs, but we were too busy legging it for opposite horizons.
Fun fact: those big starbursts look way, way bigger when they're on the ground with you. Especially when there's four of them.
The best part about starburst mortars is how, if they go off on the ground, sometimes you are caught inside the firework.
You're running as fast as you can when suddenly a bunch of flaming shit goes flying past your head. You hit the dirt, and run your fingers over your clothes to make sure there are no holes.

oh man
fishing with salutes
various home-made fireworks using flash powder
2 30-grams, a 50-gram and a 100-gram "firecracker"
My brother makes his own firecrackers. They're louder than M-80s, he makes them by emptying an entire pack of 100 firecrackers into small thick cardboard tubes that I filched from my old job - they were the tubes left by the receipt dispensers when we swapped rolls.
Then he fuses them up to give us a good 30 seconds or so, and seals the ends with hot glue.
They are loud as fuck, louder than a 12 gauge. We blew apart a stump last time.
Sometimes we make them with the little crackling beads you can find in your average pack of "crackling balls" and they send those out about half as far as your average mortar. We set one of those off at my friend's house one night on the puget sound, and the explosion echoed over East Bay four times. A boat on the open water turned on their spotlight and tried to find us, so we bolted.

I need to find some good illegal fireworks sellers fast.
hey satan...: thinkgeek amazon My post |
Also, flaming dicks.
which basically only leaves smoke bombs and sparklers to be sold locally
but luckily i can just go across the border to Wyoming and buy whatever the fuck i want
that's the only good thing about Wyoming
little dynamite and bottle rockets ftw
so wait those little snakes are illegal too
what the fuck
i forgot
that's like the coolest thing we're allowed to have
which inspired that one episode of South Park where they make a giant snake thing and it covers the whole state or whatever
Can't get decent fireworks anywhere.
