Flash Powder (salute) Comparison Pt.2

Here we are testing some new flash recipes, as well as re-testing some from the last video with a better microphone.

Warning! It's dangerous to blindly jump into the production of flash powders. Read deeply into many sources before attempting to mix any flash recipes! I am not an expert, this video and description is for reference only. It may contain errors and should not be used as a solid guide.

All crackers are in M-80 style tubes fired at 50 feet. All but one set of salutes are using 1/3" hot glue plugs, and leaving a 1/4"-1/3" air pocket in the tubes to help prevent blowout.
Note: hot glue plugs are not recommended for ground salutes, as they can become projectiles.

Time stamps in order of quietest. (Best of two)

Note: I think Jeff uses his in larger salutes... here I'm oly testing M-80s

--Conclusion--
I'm only speaking about my thoughts on the flash when used in M-80 sized crackers. These thoughts do not carry over into larger salutes. Quality of chemicals, as well as mixing techniques can effect the results.
8th a simple firecracker for control.
7th fun to make and relatively safe.
6th Can't justified using Sulfur in small salutes.
5th By far the simplest to make. Solid performance!
4th Plugs are not needed, within margin of error to 5th
3rd If you must use sulfur, this salute is solid!
2nd (Favorite) Surprised me, saves on flash, makes you feel proud!
1st This salute had more feel than sound. Chest Thumper, Bass
