Today I want to show you simple way to make electric ignition firecrackers for airsoft games / cinematic effects / jokes / experiments and other.

We need piccolo firecrackers (or other firecrackers filled flash powder), some wires and Kanthal A1 32AWG / 0.20 mm (you can buy it in vapeshops or aliexpress http://ali.pub/n86jv ) or NiCr 80 with smaller diameter.

Сarefully cut the firecracker and find layer with flash powder. It comprises aluminum and has a metallic color.

Note the position of the layer.

Prick a firecracker at flash powder layer with a needle from the syringe.

Well, all done. Time to try it!

In my video you can see how it work. For the ignition, I used 1 li-ion cell with a voltage of 4.2 volts. In theory, you can use 1 AA alkaline battery.

You can see demonstration in my video.
