OHHHH OHHHH OHHHH
forgot the most important one.... Flame rounds; it sends a long flame out of the barrel of your gun, 100ft or so, its soooo cool, but very dangerous only shoot them on like a beach or very very wet grass lands, we already have enough wild fires going on in the USA. Forgot the mention most of the rounds run about 4-5$ a rounds, not bad but pricey if you wanna do a fireworkds show |

Try some blanks. They go BANG!!! real loud and some of them have pretty muzzle blast more than 24" long.
Be very, very careful buying this stunt/trick/novelty ammo. If it comes from or is made by FireQuest, they will get you in big, big trouble! When the DOJ comes in, they confiscate all records, including your name, address and whatnot. The DOJ blistered their stupid butts once before for selling illegal "hazardous materials". I'm sure they will do it again, or maybe BATFE the next time. Ask me how I know. And people wonder why FunAmmo went defunct. |

Hi-Vel sells a lot of different types of shotgun shells.
I've never purchased anything from them so I don't know how reliable they (the company and the ammo) are.

Ya, buy crates of those!
Make sure you have all the proper federal permits though. You'll end up with some monstrous fines and/or prison time if you don't! |

Where can you get what? Bird bombs or the federal paperwork to legally possess them? |

Beats me. I don't mess with that stuff since the DOJ sent me that letter after they busted Firequest.
That's what I've been trying to say- this stuff is illegal! The first box of bird bombs I got came from a gun store almost 20 years ago. Apparently they have been illegal for a long time (without the proper federal paperwork). Nobody knew it because the law was never enforced. Thanks to the Patriot Act, and all of the neo-nazi government nonsense in the name of "national security", this law is being enforced with vehemence. |

Just in case my previous statements weren't understood, birdbombs are illegal. Here's what the DOJ has to say about it
 More on the topic A Word of Caution If you want to amuze yourself with colorful flashes of light and sound, go buy some fireworks, preferrably of the legal kind. You can buy a whole bunch of firecrackers for what a 3pack of birdbombs used to cost. You can buy truckloads of fireworks for what birdbombs cost now (10 years and $250,000). nuff sed |

If you like throwing large sums of cash at something, why don't you buy a boat? Better yet, buy a fix'r'upper house; that way you can get a return for the money spent... and it's legal. |

At $150+ an hour for a lawyer, probably a $5000-10,000 minimum for a federal criminal charge, and with the feds dragging ass around since they know full well what it is costing, (it costs THEM not a penny) that would be some VERY expensive ignoring of what sounds like good advice to me...but this is America, at least for a while longer...and you are free to choose your own path. On a related note, those who are determined to try this stuff might also keep in mind that at least some of it may well be loaded with black powder. It is a crying shame what 12ga. black powder blanks will do if you forget to clean the entire gun after shooting a couple. |

Firequest is still in business. I wouldn't fool with them though. The owner is a liar, a sneak,... The DOJ warned him many, many times, yet he continued to sell illegal stuff.
I asked the DOJ some very specific questions. The "birdbombs" fell under their jurisdiction because of flashpowder. I asked about all the other products that Firequest still sells and the legality of it. The answer was that they don't fall under DOJ rule or enforcement. So I assume that the rest of that stuff would be BATFE. When somebody at BATFE gets a hard on for them, they will get another visit, records will be confiscated, and so on. I wouldn't give Firequest $1 to clean my bathroom. In this day and age, you are guilty by association. I would advise buying your t-shirts somewhere else. |

Have you tried FunLoads.Com?
I'm not sure if that site exists or what it has. But I'm not going to find out from work.

Are you talking about FunAmmo? They went out of business or rather ATF shut them down years ago. That's my point, buying ammo from places like this gets your information in their records. When the man puts the smackdab on their butts, they confiscate these records. Now the feds have your information. The feds now have my information. I was unknowingly purchasing something illegal. Ignorance of the law is no excuse. Knowing the government has my name, address, phone number, and credit card in their files does not make me sleep better at night. Buying this stuff, you do so at your own risk. Doing business at all with companies like this, you are putting yourself at risk. I'm just trying to spread the word. Ikor brought up a good point too; some of this stuff can damage your gun. |
