Big Bang cannons are fired by adding water in the barrel housing and then inserting a measured amount of Bangsite (carbide powder). The powder dissolves in the water creating acetylene gas. The gas is then ignited by a spark....resulting in a safe and loud BOOM.
Safe for children. No gun powder - No matches - No recoil

All cannons come ready to fire.
A spark plug is installed and a tube of Bangsite is included.
All you need to do, is just add water! Instructions included.
