Finally testing a bunch of common salute shell fireworks with a decibel meter. There will be no lift charge and every shell will be measured from the same distance! Enjoy!

Awesome to see such a wide variety of shells! Super scientific approach to the testing, and great results. Good to know that most of the popular cans were pretty close. Thank you for making this video

Thank you very much. That sure saved a lot if disagreement among my close friends. Love it! Cheers!

My favorite is the black dragon box, especially the price point. I also want to mention that this is a great way of demonstrating the variety. Thank you for the video….

right 👍🏽...I can get almost 3 cases of black box for the price of 1 rambo

Always thought those master 120s seemed pretty close to salute shells, definitely makes them worth the price with how big the effects are also

[@elam117]

Thanks for the info!

[@nmandmc1]

Awesome, really surprised with the Harry’s ball shells, gonna have to get some more of those!!

[@leftiluci379]

Power vs decibels works on a pretty hard curve. I believe power doubled = 3 db difference. This means db difference is alot more noticeable at higher levels than lower . Great work and thanks for the demo ❤️ Luci

Badass test!! I appreciate your reasearch. I have the Rambos and Anarchy on hand. You need to try the Pyro Addict salute.

[@johnjenkins1546]

Thanks for the Demo..I have quite a few Rambos.. 👍 ..now on to the Rocket comparison 😄.... actually would like to have seen where the Jungles would have settled on the meter.

[@rapidoxidation]

Once I get more rockets that's the plan!

[@jamellehearn1389]

Nice show bro

[@Famsvison]

Awesome video! I gave you the Superman shell lol. Had me double guessing if they were salute too 😂😂. I’ll bring you some jungles, 3” bsr, and ghost warrior rocket next time I see you! I also think the db reading is lower because you are in a open field, nothing to echo off 👍

[@rapidoxidation]

Yeah the supermans come in color too so without having been able to really test them yet I wasnt positive and I plan on pulling the other ones apart. Getting those rockets would be rad so I can put together another video but with just rocket headers.

[@CurtieKing]

I was also quite shocked at the Black Dragon Box "Dragons" that they scored so high... they beat out ALL ball shells and even a couple cans.

[@antvelazquez3063]

I got a case of them. They are super loud. Can’t beat the price

[@onlycanspyro]

Interesting. Outside of Rambo’s this kind of shows that it’s perfectly fine to pay less for the ball shells. They didn’t score that much lower - really cool demo. Any range of error on your DB measuring tool?

[@rapidoxidation]

100% right. The ball shells usually break lower too so it's even louder. My meter is plus/minus 1.5db.

You mean n1000 noisy festival balls by temple of heaven.

@RunningMan40510 that would be the 1.. red launcher tube ..they were bangers

[@RunningMan40510]

@chrislehmann6240 I've had several 1.75" ball shells. The loudest I've ever tested were the donkeyballs I think there may be two versions of those. One is round and the other is a mini canister with a ball shell around it to fool everybody.

[@richardbritton5280]

Nice ty 🏆 👴

[@youliveyoulearnyouburn]

I agree anarchy above all 🔥💯%

[@gocrazy1995PYRONATION]

Can you do this again this year with the new ones? Maybe same Params and use a few of the better shells as a basis?

[@LIMuscleBlackdevil]

Every additional 10db is perceived as twice as loud. 70db would be perceived as approximately twice as loud as 60db. 110db would be perceived as about twice as loud as 100db.

[@Johnds6582]

Wish I knew where to find some of this stuff. Ive noticed the markings W515B on some black box shells. Does this mean anything?

[@rapidoxidation]

Look harder. There are places in your area with them I promise.

[@Wanderingpyro]

Black dragon artillery are the best ones for the money I think they are up there in the over the hundred range the human ear is not going to differentiate between two to three deciple. So all the ones over 100 should be pretty good

Couldnt agree more.

Just curious, are they using a black powder charge in these commercial shells? I really don’t mess with them because I build my own with the good stuff 😂much louder

[@rapidoxidation]

Black powder lift and flash break.

[@3ccdmike]

And 3 db. is perceivable. Great work. Did you see cross match in the balls, it looked like one did.

[@rapidoxidation]

The ball shells with cross match were the Harry's, Thunder Dogs, and All Rise. Cherry, Dragon Ball Z, and Black Box all had a really nice primed fuse with BP. The Donkeys and Minions just had a normal time fuse with no prime or cross match because they are fake balls and just mini cans.

[@3ccdmike]

@@rapidoxidation It is great to see cross match, It shows care. That's how I would make shells. I have slurry primed as well in some cases. Donkey Balls cans perform like the other balls.

[@blazesacampbell]

My man can I get you some Barbs?!

[@artiixan]

Darksides sound louder in person than Rambo’s is that because the Rambo’s have more lift

[@sparky_boomstick]

It's because Darkside's have more bass. DB meters can't measure bass.
