Italian firecrackers - the BRAVEST of them all!
« on: January 24, 2009, 06:44:07 AM »
Take a look at this. The strongest legal firecracker in Europe is the Italian old Cobra 6. It contains 48.5 grams(!) of flash powder! Compare that with the original M-80 that contained 3 grams of flashpowder at most. A new Cobra 6 contains "only" 28 grams or about an ounce. Both an old and a new Cobra 6 is fully capable to kill you. BRAVE! :arrr:

The gun laws are too, but in the other direction.  ;)

Austria, Switzerland, France and Belgium has very liberal firework laws. Sweden has had pretty liberal laws, but they banned firecrackers in 2001 and now they banned the 4" and 3" mortars, even if you can still buy pretty big rockets and, of course, build your own mortars.
