Description
This firecracker is used as a practice charge for booby traps and firing devices. It produces a loud report, bright flash, and smoke. It is designed to reduce the hazard of flying particles attendant upon use of a standard potassium perchlorate firecracker. It is classified as fireworks, since it contains no high explosive. Although coated with a waterproofing material, it should be stored in a dry place.
The coupling base of any standard firing device is pushed through the wax filled hole in the hollowed end of the firecracker and rotated clockwise until at least two threads of the coupling base are inside the hollowed end.
