Small explosive meant to produce noise / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other uses, see Firecracker (disambiguation).
A firecracker (cracker, noise maker, banger[1]) is a small explosive device primarily designed to produce a large amount of noise, especially in the form of a loud bang, usually for celebration or entertainment; any visual effect is incidental to this goal. They have fuses, and are wrapped in a heavy paper casing to contain the explosive compound. Firecrackers, along with fireworks, originated in China.
