How big of a mortar tube do the fire out of, and what is the average cost
...
this all got started with a simple question about size and cost of fireworks.
This thread did result in some unexpected fireworks, didn't it?
What surprises me, is how small some of the tubes and rockets are, and yet they make so much noise.
On top of that, the biggest, highest most fantastic display anticipated by the spectators can end up a complete and total dud, not getting more than a few feet off the ground, twizzling in circles, bumping around along the ground like a broken windup toy, injuring people who get too close to it's unpredictable trajectory, all the while a few watching who haven't personally been harmed in some manner by the disaster continue to ooh and ah, telling everyone this is exactly how it's supposed to go, in fact, this might be the best fireworks display they've ever seen.
