Product Spotlight: Artillery Shells

Reloadable artillery shells are among the most-popular, best-selling consumer fireworks in America. Even people who are new to fireworks have probably heard of artillery shells or "mortars." These fireworks are sold in kits that include round or canister-shaped shells up to 1.75” in diameter, plus at least one launching tube. Each shell can contain up to 60 grams of pyrotechnic composition by law. When launched from the included mortar tube, they can climb as high as 150 feet into the sky before bursting into a variety of colors and effects. High-end artillery shells deliver the most power and greatest effects of any consumer fireworks.

Because they are so popular, it is extremely important for fireworks retailers offer a broad range of artillery shell options. That's why we offer nine different artillery shell kits between our two brands. This variety ensures that every customer who walks into your store is able to find the artillery shells they want.
