Found this video on Facebook. He is trying to show how a news show exaggerated the power of the firecracker. When I watched it, I thought it would at least blow the windows out of the vehicle.

Curious to know how many grams in a Cobra 6...? Are they actually legal anywhere, or just available in the black market.

Finn, it depends on the laws of the country. Here, large firecrackers with more then 50mg of flash have been banned since the 70s.

I have one--but I don't plan to dissect it to see how much fairy dust is in it.
There was a video out a couple years ago of a raid in Italy on a "factory" making Cobra crackers..it was like a 2 or 3 room garage type building in a residential area where they were assembling them. Huge cartons of the tubes, stacks of labels, and bags full of flash---I will see if I can find the video when I have a little time to kill. It was a good video.

If I remember correctly there are plastic end caps that you pop right off. I suspect these are sold as re wraps with several different names. They seem to have that same tube and plastic end cap. I believe these are classified as a 1.1 device now
