Got some Cherry Bomb shells in my eBay store

[DLettuce3030]

Hey all, I've been making some 3d models and have come up with some nice Cherry Bomb firework shells or "Fishing Bobbers" if you will ... anyways, here's the link if you are pyrotechnically inclined. I wish I had these in RC1 to throw into the rubble at Alpha/Bravo lol. They are about the size of an egg.

That's..... not how cherry bombs are even constructed. Can the 3D printed plastic even hold up to a mortar lift charge?

These are cherry bombs of the future, Dave. They would totally hold up to a lift charge. My next step is to design one with a threaded/press fit cup for the lift charge.

Nah man, just check out eBay for pyrotechnic shells. If you go to the supplier websites you can legally buy fuse and other pyrotechnic chemicals for making black powder and other things. The ATF allows you to manufacture and keep up to 50 pounds of black powder. Imagine you make fireworks or legally own a cannon or black powder musket. The ATF is mostly concerned about weapons manufacturing, like making receivers and selling them without an FFL.

Careful Mr. Lettice or you'll end up like skylighter.

I imagine using black powder may be ok, I was thinking more on flash powder! lol

After the patriot act passed many years ago the ATF cracked down hard on many Pyro suppliers and demanded all sales records and crosschecked for "bomb making materials".

A bunch of people ended up on government watch lists and needles to say alot of hobbyist weren't too happy. Some got personal visits from the ATF, it was a mess.

Haven't ever purchased from them thankfully.

Well, I hope they don't shoot my dog if they pay me a visit ...

Just be happy if they don't throw flashbangs into your newborns crib, peasant.
