“The big guns”
This new years show, we got to see the pure power that 10″ and 12″ shells produce. To start the day off, we off-loaded the truck, everything from 3″ guns in racks all the way up to 8″, 10″, and 12″ guns. The talk of the day was how we could not wait to see them fill the sky. We loaded the big guns onto the ship we were going to shoot from. New-years came and the show began. You could feel the antisipation fill the air, the show is beginning. The audience starts to scream, the dark night fills with amazing colors, and the new year begins. Then it happens, 45 seconds into the new year…. “BOOOOM!!!!” The ship shakes as the lift charge of the first big gun goes off…. The crew draws silent as we feel the compression wave engulf us on the bow of the ship. We watch the charge fly up into the sky, a lot higher than the other shells in the show. Then, just as we love to see, the 12″ shell explodes into thousands of color mixes. The shell fills the sky with mezmerizing power and aww. We hear the crowd scream in joy. -Jeff P.
