Throwing them in that manner does have the effect of a 'booster' of sorts.

Ya get a LOT longer range, though at expense of accuracy.


If you've a few apple trees; some quite nice 'grenades' can be made by poking a #2 Philips into an apple; stuffing a firecracker in it.


A bunch of friends(?) and/or relatives; some beer(naturally) and a couple of buckets full of 'bombs' makes for a fun afternoon delight!!

Until; of course; the inevitable loss of an eye occurs...

“...Have you noticed the dems using “patriots” in their word salad lately...”

Gives Democrats acid indigestion to even SAY the word “patriot”, but their Little Red Party Handbook says to pretend to be American, so they do it.

Even though they throw up a little bit after saying it.

I waited too long to toss an apple “grenade”, wound up with tingling fingers covered with apple sauce.

You can boost the range by breaking off 2 to 3 inches of the stick.

They can be lit and thrown, quite effectively.

I think a better term would be negative information voter. These people have a lot of information, but most of it is false.

Or 2 sticks can be removed;
then 3 taped together,
the fuses twisted together;
lit and flung.

Interesting range and explosive effects!

Those are among the weakest fireworks there are. Did anyone get a booboo?

“Two people were injured when bottle rockets were thrown at them during a demonstration “

The demonstrators then picked up the bottle rockets, put them in bottles, lit them and fired them at the retreating car, but they were out of range. One of them might have been wearing a MAGA hat./s

Many years ago a buddy of mine’s father owned a junk yard. Every once and awhile they get a car that was still running and in pretty good shape, so he’d put on a dealer plate they had(it was all legal) and we’d use. One summer , (this was in the late 70’s) he had a ‘64 Buick Electra, a four door. when the doors were closed they had a shape to them that made a kind of channel almost five feet long. Well it didn’t take us long to figure out that you could lay a bottle rocket in there, light it and man, did that thing take off! Went for blocks before it blew up. There we’d be tooling down the main street in town on a Saturday night, drinking some beers and if we saw a car ahead of us full of some kids we knew , we’d fire away!
