How to Shoot Big Caps Fireworks & Firecrackers

Hi, I'm David Hunter with Expert Village. Today we're going to be talking about fireworks, the different types and safety tips. And now we're going to talk about safety sane for your children and the big cap firecrackers that you find. Of course all kids including big adults want the bigger firecrackers. And these are safe and sane. The big cap product is designed in the safe and sane packages, assortments for your kids. These are a small firecracker, they look big but they're small, but they also have to be handled with care and again with close adult supervision. Never hold these items in your hands; they do have a warning label on them that tell you the warnings of what you need to do. Lay this on a flat surface, light the fuse and get away. And now we're going to talk about the most common type of firecracker, the regular Class C firecracker. It is usually found in a pack or a strip, most of the time the packs have anywhere from 12 firecrackers all the way up to, I've seen rows up to 15,000 in a row. These are a very common firecracker; they come in a small belt which you can unwind or you can light the fuse and have several go off at one time. Again, they are used under a close adult supervision, they must be laid on the ground, they do have the warnings on the labels that tell you all about what is necessary to be able to shoot them. These will make a loud pop. What you consider the other safe and sane firecrackers is a little bit bigger. The only difference is in these firecrackers, even though this one looks bigger, is this is basically a waterproof firecracker. You can throw them into like a mud puddle or you know a small stream and they will fire off because they have the waterproof fuse and they will go off. But it's really powder wise, no difference in these because they are still classified under the Class C common fireworks and of course this with the Class C safe and sane products. I would recommend on all these firecrackers, to make sure that you use a little puck which all firework suppliers will have these if you ask. Take the stick, lay them down on the ground, gently light it and get away. And then enjoy your firecrackers as they make the noise as you celebrate your New Years or 4th of July.
