for 1.4g - it is 1.75 inches
For the BIG shells - we in the USA need a federal license from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, and Explosives (BATFE)

AT one time we use to be able to have 2" shells for consumer - but that was a LONG TIME AGO.
reloadable shells are limited to 1.75" but preloaded devices are allowed up to 2.25". In reality very few devices have 2.25" shells the majority are 1.75"

In USA most of the shells come packed with lift charge below each shell.. The user has to place them in a HDPE mortar tube carefully and launch them either manually or by a firing system.
