Has anyone seen or heard of this firework i think it's about a 200 shoot cake(display in a box). I witnessed one being set off last night and i must admit it was pretty impressive(for a cat 3)quite a few different effects building up to a pretty loud and rapid(but a little short)finale.
I meant to go and have a look and get the manufactures/importers name and check for a BS number but i got waylaid and forgot,so is it a white van man special or a lagit firework?
I was told it cost £80...

I've not heard of it, and a basic websearch just finds the old 3 break rocket of the same name.

but not sure about the manufacture

Well spotted- I think the brand is Mars.

Wow what a excitable audience!!!
Yes that certainly looks like the one allthough i seem to remember some nice deep blue star bursts in the one i saw.
Well if it is legit it is certainly on the noise limits.
I think 2 of them with some slight alteration to the fusing would make a pretty good finale....

The You Tube video probably doesn't represent the current performance. Those bangs at the end look very much like pre reg change flashpowder bangs- that is to say, over 25% flash, so 1.1G now.

The current version has probably replaced them with crackle.

The one i saw last night certainly had the same loud finale,and definitely flash based this is the main reason i question it's legality.
I don't think it's old stock either as the chap that set it off said a container of them arrived last week.

Full edit, double post.

I can't find it on the LOCEF database, which list fireworks and their UN number etc. Someone please do correct me if I'm wrong, but would this mean that it is not legally available any more?

The crowd didn't seem too impressed did they

Mind you at a quoted rrp of £250 it ought to good. (Definitely 1.3g by the way)

Where did you see it as 1.3G? I'm not challenging you- just wondering where you saw it?

Well if it is 1.4, then let's have old Floydy's opinion of it. It's not too late to stop the petition
