Can someone help me to identify this?

[robg222]

Along with some other ordinary fireworks this was found while cleaning out a house last summer. I do not have any idea what it is or what it will do. I thought perhaps someone here might know and be able to tell me. Thanks so much in advance. I will try to post photos, but if I am not able, it is a black canister shape about 2 1/2 inches tall with silver foil top and bottom with a fuse at the top. The label reads: BLACK OPS SIGNALING DEVICE

Looks and sounds like a strobing effect

That fuse makes it look homemade. I don't see any commercial marking. One way to find out is to light that fuse. Please let us know

what does it look like where the fuse goes in?

This actually does matter too.

I vote e-match, and video, easy way to find out.

I second that... Maybe it's just smoke, maybe it's noise... Safe way to find out... Ematch it or light and run

Thanks all, I will get to lighting the thing hopefully soon and report back with photos and/or a vid. Here is a pic of the fuse and top, and the bag package it came in. I googled the company on the bag and could not find anything.

Definitely looks "home made" or by a small production company. No EX number or other "legitimate" ID info on it. It says it produces 120db of noise so IT IS A REPORT! Top looks like aluminum paint over hot glue. Be careful with it when you light it.

That is definitely a homemade salute. it uses the old Class C on the label. It may not be that old. If I remember correctly that Red White and Blue fuse was not around prior to the year 2000. I see that last picture is on the packaging and not the product. Was it an unopened package of 10? Someone was probably selling these at a gun show years back. Great post and pictures. Anyone else know anything about them?

Yes, from a full bag of 10 and I think I've got a few bags IIRC

Looks like someone tried to make and sell improvised flash bangs
