El Fuego Danza

Hi, Gang,
Long time no speak!... SORRY, but the P.C's been up the wall!

Nice to re-view all your topics recently and get back up to date!

As for this, my latest topic, I have been asked by a local American Car Enthusiast's Club to help with a "Cops and Robbers" type "SHOOT-OUT" scene which they intend to perform in a reasonably large (200m x 100m) arena.
The over-all idea is to have some of the club members being "Bad Guys", committing a seriouse offence or two, and then being overwhelmed by the local "NYPD" ... SIRENS BLARING AND GUNS A-BLAZING! etc..

The replica guns, I believe, are already sorted as some of the members do the "Cowboy & Western" sceenes as well...

What I am looking for is some kind of single ignition, VERY low level (LIKE 1 INCH) MINE EFFECTS which would replicate the impact of a Bullet striking the ground, or if possible, to be fixed behind false glass (ie. suggar), in order to blow out a window or two in the pre-rigged vehicles so as to make the fireing of the guns more realistic to the spectators. It would also be nice to put a few "bullet holes" in the sides of the cars.

Obviousley, I cannot afford ANY DISCHARGE from the pyros as the "actors" will be within only feet of the charges at the point of firing, and an electronic fireing system is a MUST due to the pin-point timing required to make this stunt work.
Any advice out there would be appreciated as to speciffics of the pyro's required and the suppliers thereof.
egars, Roy.

Hi, Gang!
Please be patient if I mess this up, as I am trying for the first time to use this forum...
Having browsed it for a few weeks, it seems like you're a good bunch of folks intersted in helping each other get on with the safe use of GOOD PYRO'S!
With this in mind, I'm off down to Stafford on the 22nd of Feb to hopefuly get my CAT4 training certificate.
If all goes well, I will be looking to join a pyro team ASAP. (at ANY level).
I have spent the last 4 years or so doing 10 to 25 mins of fireworks set to music, but only for our own family get-to-gethers, and obviously, only using CAT3. and all hand-fired.
I am looking to move on from this into more organised displays and events, if any-one has any ideas, please let me know.
Best Regards, Roy.
