I bought several of these packets at a flea market.
I've never seen red firecrackers this large.

Cat3 is basically a firework with a greater minimum safe distance - 25m (display fireworks). You might say there is also more Net Explosive Content (NEC). Quite often the bore size is larger than CAT2.

Those type of fireworks in the OP image are banned in the UK.
