These pyrotechnic devices are cylindrical tubes that launch a series of aerial effects, such as stars or bursts, sequentially into the air. The “196 shot” designation indicates the number of individual projectiles contained within the device, offering a prolonged visual display. For instance, a device labeled with this quantity would eject 196 separate effects before exhausting its payload.
Their value lies in their capacity to deliver a sustained and varied display from a single ignition point, simplifying setup and reducing the need for multiple individual fireworks. Historically, similar devices, though often with fewer shots, have been employed in celebrations and displays globally, providing accessible aerial artistry. This type of firework offers a balance between cost, complexity, and visual impact.
