Ok, so I've got a Predator 500 and I'm a little unsure about it now. After watching some videos on Youtube, one looks pretty poor and goes on for ages, whereas another looks pretty good and is shorter (looks like garden disance). :wacko:

I'm thinking if I let if off in my garden I'll get this...



I've never had any 500 shot cake before. Is it any good? Will it be a let down, and how loud are the bangs, one video they sound like little pops, another they sound pretty good.

Thanks.

Could well be the difference between 2008 and pre-2008 spec, or could simply be varations in the filming conditions or the unit itself.
OK, interest in fireworks to be resumed in the spring. It usually is. ;)

500 shots = small bore tubes = relatively small effects

Why a max weight of 1000g ? Limit is 2kg NEC. Epic, who make this, do put the NEC on their reciepts.

Some tubes look small, some are of a reasonable size.
