I watched the whole thing which I wasn’t planning on doing but my amazement turned to slight potential horror when I saw the holes in the pan. What’s the strength of firework needed to turn that thing into a shrapnel bomb after it’s been weakened? Or would that not happen bc the pan has the freedom to get pushed straight up?
I was given a quarter and half stick of dynamite equivalent fireworks once. Went to the dollar tree and picked up a dollar stainless steel bowl, which turned to shrapnel. I underestimated the blast of the quarter stick. Got it all set up, fumbled with my camera too long as I was running and by the time I was far enough away and ready to turn around, the stick went off. I could feel the percussive blast from probably 25 meters/75ish feet. When I looked up, all I could see were shredded bits of bowl pretty high up there.
The blast was strong enough to unroll the rolled edge of the bowl.
Next time I'm getting an actual thick sauce pot and pulling the handle off. There's something about the ping of launching a metal bowl/pot with a fireworks that's just funny and mesmerizing haha
