Sadly, in my misspent youth as an undergrad, it was an emptied (by us) little kings bottle. Just the thing for hand-held, aimed shots in broadside at the equally ... err ... lubricated group of friends across the alley firing back ( I know, I know. But we were young and immortal)

We used to light them, and then just before the fuse reached the rocket, toss them up in the air and try to time it so they were just starting to arc over the top when they ignited. Kind of like simulating an air-to-ground missile attack.Y'all are a bunch of sissy's. I just hold them and let them take off from my fingers.
