What it your bottle rocket launchers of choice?

And if you really wanna prove your manhood you'll give them an underhanded "softballesque pitch" directional fling at your opponents while paddling canoes.

"Oh those were the days...."

Yep, that's what I was describing. With a little practice you could get pretty accurate.

I've been needing to build an elevated launch platform for those times we decide to light the sky. Our dogs LOVE fireworks and go apeshit when they see me carry a mortar tube out to the firepit. Our chocolate used to chase bottle rockets all over the backyard and try to carry off the launch tube or otherwise interfere with it with the fuse burning. We finally stacked up a 5 foot tall pile of pallets to launch from but she managed to knock the tube over once trying to climb up the pile.

Crazy dog.

Used to have bottle rocket fights as a kid. Wait till the fuse is almost gone then toss them toward your opponent/soon to be ex-friend. So much more fun than Roman candle wars because those little bottle rockets had a mind of their own. You never knew where they would go.

LOL, got a buddy in his nether regions with one when he was wearing those silk running shorts that were popular in the 80's...
Ever see someone leap vertically from a sitting position? Hilarious.

Back in my misspent youth, my buddies and I had bottle rocket battles.
Two man teams....one held a piece of PVC like a bazooka. The other would load and lite the bottle rocket from the back...amazing no one ever got seriously injured.

We did this too, but we used electrical conduit for our "bazookas".

Shoulder fired vacuum cleaner tubes with a flip cap on the end and vertical grip made from an old wrist rocket slingshot.

Got a lot of back blast but it was pretty accurate.

During our bottle rocket battles we used a half of an arm of a litter in our barracks on Okinawa, then switched to a bamboo dart gun holder, when the litter arm, was confiscated, by the SP's
