Hi, I'm new to this newsgroup and I have a few questions.  After living in  
the Orient, I enjoy a good fireworks show.  Do any of you know of any good  
companies that sell excellent fireworks, I'm looking for something  that  
has a lot of bright lights, loud noises and movement.  things like the  
tanks and boats are appreciated especialy for my three year old nephew.   
Fireworks that act like bottle rockets without the whistling report are  
alsl appreciated.  The second thing is since I'm into personal defense,  
are there any books that show how to make low grade and strenght  
explosives for distractions and getting out of tight jams out there on the  
market?

			Thanks in advance

	I can't tell if you are serious or not.  There are not really any  
effective D&D-smoke-bomb-disappearing-act devices out there; at least none  
that you could use in a hurried situation, like being mugged or something.  
However there is something that I could suggest.  Something which they  
don't have that much of in the Orient.  However I personally do not like  
these items.  But, hell, you can buy 'em (if you're a citizen).  Maybe...  
maybe... maybe... just maybe... a gun?
	I wouldn't rely on home made pyrotechnic devices for personal  
defense.  Yeah you could use some contact explosive or something (read  
Ammonia Tri-iodine); but how effective could this be?  Get some mace.   
Don't go to places where you would normally need high explosives to stay  
alive.

Not quite true.  There are smoke grenades sold for paintball games that can
produce a large volume of smoke quite quickly.  There is even one company
that makes a 'cold' smoke grenade - cool enough to hold in hand while going.
