You want a loud bang? Try and find one of the Brightstar Proton b**b barrages. Really loud bangs, huge bore barrage (16 shot IIRC) They are listed on the Brightstar website here. Look at the bottom of the page, they are ?10 and the site includes a video.

You could also try, the Brightstar 'Report Flash'. Decent amount of noise created for ?2.99 each. 18 Shot barrage, not as big bore as the Proton b**b, but pretty loud! A good few of these lit simultaneously will deffinetley get you noticed! Link here.

The Thunder King from Black Cat Fireworks has been banned from the UK. Due to the noise level and children abusing the item, sad to be honest!

Fireworks Arcade, said you might be able to purchase it directly from Black Cat here's the number:
01484640640.

Aren't you still allowed to buy them if you're Cat 4 trained?
Category 4 Trained to BPA Level 1 Equivalent.

If you could get Cat 4 why would you bother??

RE: 'Banned items', in theory, if you stored away somewhere some crackers and shells prior to them being banned, you can still have them. I don't know if this applies to using them though?? I don't recommend you do, for the record! :)

just to be clear - just because an individual has had some "training" or indeed is BPA qualified - it DOES NOT automatically mean they are entitled/allowed to buy/own/use Cat4 material :)

For the record I have packs and packs of the yellow boxed ThunderKing airbombs and a couple of cases of the ThunderKing cakes (both BlackCat) - and they are used in our displays sometimes during the finale build up.... there isn't a "plethora" of Cat4 salute cakes that are of a similar size to these :)

Your Just trying to make me "Jelous" :P

Shirley if these have been banned, the manufacture shouldn't be allowed to sell them to ANYBODY! :unsure:

Although, I'd love to be able to buy a few packets, my parents have used these before, pretty powerful for it's size.
