Is a 4 inch salute a 1.3g item in ur state?

[tntrealty1]

love them. Wish we'd use more of them in our display finales but I understand the economics of the business...2.5" & 3" are more cost effective. Thanks for posting vid.

It is Smilli, mostly shells from 2" and up are considered 1.3G in the U.S. We do however have 1.75" items that are 1.3G as well. But they are usually only salutes. I have not seen any 1.75" color shells under the 1.3G classification, yet.

Here is a short video of a some 1.75" salutes that a distibutor in our state carries.

Yes. There are 1.75 1.3g color shells too. They are bulk usually ball shells and sometimes come with quickmatch.

Thanks but i am confused now, Almost all salutes shells over here in Europe(made in Europe and imported from China) are 1.1g cause they mass detonate, what makes a product 1.1g or 1.3g in the states?
Sorry for my offtopic questions but i don't know where to ask this.

[PyroManiacs]

Your not off topic as what you are asking follows what we are talking about here anyway.

Maybe someone who knows a little bit more about 1.1G and 1.3G could explain.

Bulk Salutes are classified as 1.1G That is why many [most] people will add a color shell in the case of salutes so it stays classified as 1.3G Magazine storage requirements come into pllay when dealing with 1.1G vs 1.3G product. I have heard from different people that some ATF "representatives" (ha ha they don't like to be called AGENTS!!) are ok with only one color shell in a case, but in other places they may require up to half of the case of salutes be color shells in order to maintain the 1.3G classification.
So, it isn't actually the shell itself but the legal storage of the salutes when dealing with smaller display shells.
Now, large salutes are classified as 1.1G items...I would have to dig out the "orange book" to see what the composition weight is that puts it into this category.
Anyone else have any info on this, feel free to comment!
