Re: strange burst in consumer shell

I have seen all kinds of stuff inside small Chinese shells, but
probably the oddest was in some 1.75" 'festival balls'. They broke
really hard, and upon examination I found the break to be a wad of
tissue paper with bright aluminum flash on it. Very cheap and very
effective.

Also, the notion that shell wall thickness being pro****tionally
relative to larger shells is bunk. The size of the shell has nothing
to do with the interaction of gas pressure with containment strength
over time. We could get off onto the topic of dwell time (containment
duration) and the effective relation****p of break brissance on casing
strength, but for lack of a lengthy explanation, just accept that gas
pressure/gas volume /time/containment have nothing to do with shell
size. Shell size has an effect on each of those (except time)
independently, but size and wall thickness ratios are not
interdependent. Shell size is not in the formula for relative
potential energy all other things being equally upscaled.
