Not sure where to post this, but thought it would be entertaining no matter where it goes. In the US, m-80s have been "illegal" for decades. Well not so fast, you can buy them, that is, if you are a rancher or farmer. Just hit up the ATF of course:

The farmer or person in business that handles this sort of problem still needs an a form of an ATF License. I believe most farmers are now using the propane cannons. If you have an ATF license you can but large firecrackers, they still make them, they do not look like M-80's , you will see them larger and have brown wrap. Remember 1.3 fireworks products in United States are forbidden to have colorful labels so they are not confused with 1.4 fireworks. Many 1.3 fireworks distributors legally sell large single firecrackers but wisely do not advertise they have them. If you inquire they will tell what they have. I see you live in the state of California, you are having firecracker envy. LOL
Here is what a modern agricultural propane cannon does. I keep wanting to buy one of these to experiment with it but never get around to it.
