Are these shell inserts inside a shell? and if so is the basic idea just make a load of small salutes timed fast like 1 sec fuse and fill say a 5 inch shell with them and add burst to spread them?? I have allways thought of making a shell like that too see what it would sound like and obviously it sounds awesome !!!!

They were firing some form of shell/maybe bombett that kind went of burst then a load of small salutes came out and a made a brap sound because they were so fast and many of them.

Search for the term 'Beraq' - a signature of the Maltese shell builders.

Also I think the Maltese factories wouldn't want to over expose their speciality fireworks, turning them into a trade/retail item may well reduce their specialness.
Karl F simply does NOT reveal the secrets of the Maltese factory that he knows.
Keep mannequins and watermelons away from fireworks..they always get hurt..

Karl is the man who knows all the secrets, but he is unlikely to give much away, as the Maltese are very proprietorial with their methods & formula!
Im torn on this one, one part of me is saying the Maltese should definately keep-up the secrecy of there firework making methods/formulas for obvious reasons involving commerciality & tradition etc.
But, have we not seen the results of old british firework companies/families taking there formulas to the grave?

I suspect the fireworks culture and its dozens of factories will keep the Maltese traditions alive for quite a while yet...
Meanwhile, some more amazing beraq here:

Lets hope so,...otherwise I might have to consider semi-retiring to Malta with another museum project in mind!
