What You Need To Know About Shell Fireworks Before Buying Them

shell fireworks

Shell fireworks are one of the most unique and distinctive types of fireworks on the market today. They offer a variety of different effects, come at a low price point, and are easy to use with the right safety precautions. People love the look and feel of using shell fireworks. But you might not know enough about these fireworks to decide whether you’re going to use them in your next fireworks show, celebration, or event. But don’t despair, we can help. Whether you’ve been planning to incorporate shell fireworks into a display, a fireworks holiday show, or just want to use them for fun, here’s what you need to know about them before buying.

They Make Fantastic Displays

Shell fireworks make a fantastic display that will amaze, tantalize, and captivate audiences. They’re ideal for outdoor usage and can create a fantastic visual display as part of any fireworks show. So, what are shell fireworks, exactly? They’re a type of pyrotechnic device that has a cardboard or plastic case. The case encloses a metal tube, foam core, and some kind of compressed powder. The specific powder composition of chemicals, oxidizers, and metal filings are sealed with a fuse at the base. When the fuse is ignited, the tube inside propels the shells upward into the air. This is what’s responsible for the fantastic effect shell fireworks create. Shell fireworks are usually reloadable and also known as mortar fireworks.

Shell Fireworks Come In Different Colors

Shell fireworks can create a wide range of effects, from bursting into a cloud of colored sparks and smoke, to creating a cascade of stars, and an array of amazing colors. Different metals create unique and different reactions that provide much of the visual flair you see when you watch fireworks. Some of the more common colors of shell fireworks are green, silver, and gold. Green is a little bit more traditional, along with blue, red, and yellow. You’ll often see these colors as the common shells in a mortar firework. Silver is one that’s a little bit more vibrant and chaotic, producing a bigger burst in the sky. They are useful for a more dramatic effect and something you might find in an XL shell. Gold shell fireworks are  rare and emit a beautiful, luminescent display. Spend some time deciding what color shells you want as you plan your show for the best, most spectacular effects.

They Have Different Sizes, and Are Reloadable

Another great thing about shell fireworks is the different sizes they come in and they’re reloadable nature. Why is that a good thing? It means you have plenty of variety. And when you’re talking about fireworks, that’s a 100% positive thing! Shells typically come in a range of sizes, from 1.5-inch shells to 8-inch shells. You can use different sizes to create fantastic, unique displays (chrysanthemum, peony, spider, stars, etc.) and reload the tubes. That increases cost effectiveness and ultimately leads to a better fireworks show in the long run.

You Can Buy Them Online

Just like other types of fireworks, you can easily purchase artillery shells fireworks online. Typically available alongside a wide range of aerials, finale sets, novelties, Roman candles, sparklers, and other types of fireworks, artillery shell fireworks are a fun option for any gathering/event. By purchasing them online, you can ensure you obtain them from a quality supplier, find a source you can trust, obtain discounts by purchasing a book, and even view video demonstrations. Ultimately, purchasing your fireworks online is a useful way to get pumped up for your next celebration. But be warned that some states do not allow fireworks to be shipped within their borders, so you’ll need to check not only your local laws but also the firework supplier’s website to find out before buying

Safety is Essential

Now that we’ve told you everything you need to know about artillery shell fireworks, it’s time to address the most important thing about using fireworks: safety. Safety is essential to using any type of pyrotechnic device. When you’re using something that fires off any variety of directions, you’ll need to ensure you’re using it in a clear open space. Don’t point it toward animals, people, or buildings. Use personal protective equipment such as eyewear and gloves. Never relight a firework. Keep a bucket of water around, have a fire extinguisher handy, and know how to use them. Consumer fireworks can be dangerous, so it’s prudent to ensure you’re using them properly every time. Use online resources and tools to guide the use of your fireworks and observe proper safety, distancing, and operational protocols for them.

    Thanks for also talking about how I should also look for good safety gear when planning to use fireworks. I’d like to find a good place to buy fireworks because my friends and I are planning to have a reunion party soon. Having fireworks there would surely elevate the experience quite significantly.
