What is a good way yo make a firecracker from caps, without needing to break individual caps apart?
I don’t know if you can find these in the United States, but when I lived in Europe there were rolls of caps (I know they have rolls of caps in the U.S.), and the cap part was raised (contained more of the explosive powder), and we used to make “firecrackers” by getting a marble, and wrapping the cap roll around the marble, with the cap side facing the marble. Keep wrapping it around, covering the entire marble with several layers, and then wrap that with tape (I used clear tape). You then can throw this on the ground, and BANG! I know that there are different classes of fireworks, and the ones you get in the US are not as cool as the ones in Europe (this might have changed since), so it might not work if you don’t have the right kind of caps. Of course, be extremely careful if you chose to do this.
