“If you have never been in a bottle rocket war then you did not experience a typical childhood and/or adolescence.”
Roman Candle Wars were the next logical step. Nothing says “fun” quite like a ball of flame coming right at your nether regions.

Back in the day, we used to use a 5 foot section of copper pipe to launch bottle rockets. Had 2 man “bazooka” teams with one loading/lighting and one aiming.
Also had giant sparklers that we shot with a bow.
Also had access to M-80s and cherry bombs. Those were the days!
