2x 4" canister shell


Pretty green flame

Recommended Posts

Two 4 inch canister. Break was 15g of 70/30 flash made with bright alu and fluffed up with some rice hulls. I Thought 15g of flash would be a little much, but it looks I could've used about 20g for a more powerful break. They were top fused and weighed in at around 460g each.
