I remember my first "device" i made. I filled a soda straw 6 inches long, with "gun powder" grade BP. GOEX. I put it in a cloths pin, and put a fuse in. Lit it, and the fuse burned down, downer, downer, anticipation was building, since i was a nub, I was expecting ’BIG BOOM". It lit, and WOOSH, the cloths pin flew off the ground, and landed a few feet away from me, and the straw was now a melted puddle of plastic, that hadn’t caught fire. Just to tell you how fast it burns.

I did that on purpose.
Also, it is a BAD idea to hold roman candles. Remember whos making them, chinese people that get payed $5 a day for a 12 hour shift, ramming these things all day, they dont give a fuck if they add too much powder to it, or dont hammer it right, and then it explodes, while your holding it! Or they could be made by machine. But most likely by hand.

The 4th? Absolutely nothing. Why? Because I’m not "Patriotic"? No. Because I’m Canadian! w00t! We get party’s first!

That’s what 4th of July is. You shoot fireworks and get wasted and have barbecues. It’s great, you should Americanize sometime.

No, as roman candles are illegal here. I did set off 3 whistle mix salutes today, and the 3rd one produced some lulz.
Aftermath:
Marker tube almost full of whistle mix. Didn’t do too much damage to the inside, most of it is heat damage. All the components are melted, and let me tell you, the smell of melted PCB and capacitors is not a good one.

the first time i shot a roman candle was at my friend he started to run around like a chicken with no head. well anyway my favorite fireworks are the little tanks because they go forward then explode like it had just passed an I.E.D.

I’m old fashioned, nothing better than a well placed cherry bomb. Also I like bottle rockets, big ones, with stuff I can duct tape them to. And I have a duffel bag full of $300 worth of illegal fireworks for the 4th of July.

The fireworks were not incredible but the filming was great.

I removed all the pink things from a 18 pack of cap gun rolls
so i had alot of those little cap gun "caps" in a bucket
i wanted to crush it to powder
and i wasn’t really thinking that these get set off by pressure
but i was being careful when i was crushing them (in a way)
i had a shishcabob stick to crush these little round pink things in a bucket
and my face was up close because i was in concentration trying to scope out all the pieces i missed
well i let one off which let the other like billion off
and all i saw was a big white flash with a loud BOOM
I got up and realized i burned my hand and my face (right under my eye)
it was pretty bad.
I also got shit in my eye
the worst part is... all of this happened in my room :P

Armstrong’s mix is sensitive stuff. About 1g of it went off and burned my left hand pretty badly. Don’t bother with the stuff. It’s time consuming, and plain dangerous.
