U no wat, i dont even no y people do this crap, i mean common now wat type of world do we live in wear peaple do idiotic things like blowing there freaking heads and faces off. real talk it doesnt matter if the m-80 is real or not, regardless of whats going to happen its still dangerous. And iahtoaht in surly no u did not blow an atomic bomb in ur hand because if a real m-80 can blow a watermelon sized hole in the ground, son an atomic bomb would demolish u.

This is true. To those unbelievers, it’s a common scenes from the hospitals in the Philippines every new year. Check them out in Philippines newspapers.

So JonMikel M.D. what is your point of these pics? first of all these are Paloma’s, which are mostly illegal in the U.S. (except for the fake ones called “triangles”) because the good ones have too much powder. THESE ARE ILLEGAL IN THE UNITED STATES. And so are m-80’s or anything with more than 50 mg of flash powder. I don’t care what you and your medical degree say, but i guarantee that a regular black cat firecracker will not blow your hand off, so you should change the title of your post and stop scaring people who don’t know better. Even me, a freshman at high school am not stupid enough to believe in your misleading info. So if they are illegal, they are illegal, that means anyone who possesses these in the U.S. is breaking the law. And its not right to say that and scare all these people.

LIKE I SAID THAT WAS NOT A CLASS C 1.4G FIREWORK! Change the name of you post please, you seem like your just helping the people who want to outlaw fireworks, and seeing this just cements more fake ideas about fireworks.

Well, I think, it’s mainly that all different places have different firecrackers, measurements and such, so for the people who like holding it in their hands and putting it in their mouths, I would not reccomend when you’re on holiday, to buy and M80 or something and immediately shove it down your throat..

Test it first, see what it can do, and if you’re still stupid enough to do it, do it..

Well, what I’m trying to say is.. have respect for fireworks, and they’ll have respect for you.. well, that’s just my opinion..

I both agree and disagree with you Jack Daniels. True these kids are a bunch of brainless idiots, that have no real intellect of what a real m-80 firecracker is and so on and so forth is,but you should’t try and pursuade them into trying to kill themselves with illegal firecrackers or any other explosive device! You are absolutely right! A real m-80 firecracker will either completely remove your hand or turn it into a messy nub as seen above! But if these kids wanna mess with these things without having the common sense to atleast do research on them and be as safe as possible.I think blowing thier hand off would be a lesson well learned…. Don’t you?

I like the posts about the warnings. I would rather have a slight amount of fear which is a sign of intelligence, then have no clue like some of these idiots that have posted here. Some of these kids…I swear to God! Their parents need to snatch them up by the hair and drag their ass inside and beat some sense into them. Yeah yeah yeah…this is a new age…blah blah blah…and that’s exactly why these kids say and do the stupid things they do today, and their parents end up paying for it.

You ever let me catch a kid doing something astupid like this, and they’ll be paying the doc at the hospital a visit allright…for a busted mouth.

That idiot that posted about putting an M80 in his mouth above has NO IDEA! Maybe he really needs to try that…it would be natural selection! Son, I shouldn’t havwe to tell you this, but a REAL M80 will blow your empty head clean off your shoulders! If you are lucky it might still hang there by the brain stem as that is a touch part of the body to shear off, but the result will be the same. You will end up very very dead!

It burns me up every year I read these stories, because I work with chemicals and compouds like this all the time, and it’s morons like that that cause the rest of us greif, and more Inept Gov’t regulation. We have to go through more beuracratic bullshit than should be allowed, and we’re the one’s with the sense to use the stuff properly.

I swear these morons would be dangerous with an on/off switch and probably couldn’t follow the directions on that without screwing it up.

For those of the incredibly stupid above…
Please, if you are going to do something like this, make sure you do it right, and blow your head completely off and save the doctors the trouble, and the stress of having to put you back together again. Make sure you are completely dead and not just hanging by a thread so the EMT’s don’t have to stress over you either. Unfortunately for the intelligent of the world, the EMT’s don’t consider natural selection as a normal function to purge the the shallow end of the gene pool.

The gene pool needs cleansing!

For those thougtful and helpful posts that are only trying to help, I apologize. Stupidity is not contagious thank God! I’m glasd to see there are are still more than a few people left in the world with the sense god gave them.

It’s not even the amount of flashpowder (although that will contribute.) Its the compression. When it explodes while your holding it like with 2 fingers, the “EX”plosion barely nips your fingertips because there is enough air around it. If you hold it “in” your hand. The proper definition of “in” is quite simple, the compression has nowhere to go so it will push its way through your flesh considering that no human has a reaction time to open your hand and let it escape. Look at it this way if you will. What happens to the firecracker itself when it ignites? If you look at it theres not much left except debris. Its the the same situation as if you were to remove the shell, pour the powder into your hand, clench tightly and jam a fuse in it. It has to go somewhere doesn’t it. It’s not a scare tactic you imbecile, it’s simple chemistry.
