A little pistol that is the size and appearance of a .25 auto. It has a blunderbuss miniature muzzle and an odd hammer amidships. 6mm blanks are used to propel basically M-80 firecrackers a good distance, maybe 100 yds! You can also get projectiles that make a shrieking sound. Usually the seller requires a simple form signature proclaiming the intended use is agriculture preservation.
The projectiles, much less 6mm blanks, are at a cost. It’s high enough,$2 per bang, that economy limits the use for jollies. The 26.5mm bird bangers run anywhere from $7-15 each! Even me making them probably run into the $3-4 range depending on my sourcing components. But for my labor it’s fun and it includes the boys. There is a lot of physical science and tech in building successful pyrotechnics.
