Anyone here ever try these?
I ordered some a few years ago, and had kept forgetting I had them until it was fire season. New Year's Eve I finally took a few out and shot them, and I must say that they were a massive disappointment.
I made a little snowman about 1' tall, stood about 40 feet away thinking the first shot would turn my little snowman into a wet, sopping mess, and fired. All that happened was a small stream of sparks that would probably have trouble setting dry grass on fire.
So I loaded up another round and moved in closer, about twenty feet away. This time, the snowman was knocked over after I fired, but I'm pretty sure it's because of the wadding, and not the "flames".
With the marketing that some of the places that sells these shells have, you'd think they were like napalm or something, but the range, duration, and intensity of the sparks is so weak that you could get away with shooting these pretty much anywhere, anytime, and probably not have to worry about setting stuff on fire.
I know I won't be buying anymore of this overpriced crap.
