I had a crazy dream about loud fireworks...This one blew up my "Mansion" for the second time...
crazy dreams I suppose....But the walls where ment to fall when there was a big explosion to protect the rest of the house and you could fix the house in a few minutes....now then, the firework looked like a giant trashbag, thats all remember

it was home made and farmers use them. dont remember what they call them but they are about an inch and a half long and is 1/2" -3/4" in dia. the dude told us it was equivalent to like a 1/4 stick of dynomite. i know they were illegal though and had a minute long fuse.

Why not make some type of bomb like muratic acid and tin foil...pending on what you put it in can make a loud boom.

Loudest fireworks I've heard would either be the MILES BFA on the M1A2, its half a stick of dynamite, and when you have a platoon all directing fire at the same time.....that **** is loud. Especially when you're in the loaders hatch. 
Or, when I was @ JRTC and an EOD guy detonated charges near my tank. It was a small charge, but still fawking loud.
None of those compare to the rush when the Abrams fires its 120mm main gun tho. But I don't really even consider that even a military firework, lol.

When I was younger, I watched a member here, who will remain anonymous ( Edga!), Drop a few ounces of Unique gun powder in some gallon milk jugs...put the cap on, poke a hole in the side with the tip of an oxy/Acetyline rig..fill those jugs up with gas, then stuff the hole with paper to seal it...then... you guessed it...light that **** on fire and RUN. I don't know what you call it...but it definately made ALL the firework action stop in the surrounding area for 15-20 minutes. Probably had some authorities rolling too.
