Consumer Fireworks - known as the Common class/Consumer Class,
Class C, 1.4g.
Firecrackers- Firecrackers contain flash powder, medium power flash I say depending by brand.
Ladyfinger firecrackers contain black powder.The legal limit in the US is 50mg of Flash Powder per cracker. In stores you
may see crackers such as M-88,M-150,M-90, and so on. These are called Novelty Crackers, they represent the old-time crackers
such as the M-80 and the Silver Salute. But they are regular firecrackers with the legal limit. Only thing thats different
is the bigger tube (deception), and inside of the tube is cannon fuse going into the clay which eventually comes in contact
with the flash (50mg of it). Its all a marketing ploy, dont be fooled.
Ground Spinners- probally contain some black powder and crappy flash at least my ground
blooms did. The most common ground spinners would be ground bloom flowers. They change three colors while spinning rapidly.
Sizes vary. Baby versions of the ground blooms are Jumping Jacks, looks like a pack of firecrackers but instead they all spin.
Then we have the Jumbo version called Gyro Blooms. Ground spinner effects are pretty limited, yet delightful. Most of the
time its changing color, or crackling.
Roman Candles - contain granulated BP,Pressed Stars,sawdust,and a great amount of fuse.Even
though its skinny it can be very useful.The sawdust you can throw away it has no use. When lit, the candle will shoot one
star at a time (usually green or red) at intervals, at 40 feet. Other candles have other effects such as crackling, or reports.
Bottle Rockets - whistling bottle rockets are a great source for whistle mix since thier
so cheap,remember the whistle mix in the rocket is the white powder not the orange thats the clay.Also theres yet another
useful composition in whistling bottle rockets,flash powder,its like a two in one deal.If you are just looking to buy rockets
for comp, than just buy the whistling bottle rockets. The other bottle rockets with report contain black powder and crappy
flash. For the most part bottle rockets just zip up and pop, and come in a gross (144.)
Aerial Rockets - depends, they can contain basically everything stars,flash,BP,. Rockets
are meant to be fired out of a tube at no more than 20 degrees. Sticking the rocket stick in the ground can delay the
flight of the rocket, or it'll just stay there and go off.
Repeaters/Cakes - are aerial fireworks which consist
of multiple tubes and fire out small shells, which have different effects. You light one fuse. Most repeaters consist
of 25 tubes regularly but you will find higher and lower amount of tubes in a cake. There are two categories -- 200gram
and 500gram. 500gram cakes are the more expensive out of the two as you probably expected.
Reloadable Aerial Shells - most of the time they come in a box with 6 shells, and one 12''
long tube to launch them out of. Sometimes it will be a HDPE mortar, but most times its cardboard tube. They have bigger breaks
than cakes, and go higher.
