How much powder does each War Hawk rocket contain?

72 grams of pyrotechnic composition per rocket. Bright Star bumped this up from 60g without raising the price.

What effect do War Hawk rockets produce?

Each rocket throws a single gold brocade head that hangs in the sky for a second or two, with a heavy report underneath.

Yes. They produce a heavy report and are categorised as high noise.

How do War Hawks differ from War Hawk 2?

The original War Hawks throw one big single gold brocade break per rocket. War Hawk 2 splits the same payload into two smaller breaks per rocket (a golden willow then a coloured-star and crackle burst). Same 5-pack format, same Bright Star brand.

What is included in the War Hawks pack?

Five rockets and a launch tube. Push the tube firmly into soft ground at a slight angle away from spectators before loading a rocket.

We've sold the original War Hawks for over a decade. They've been our best-selling rocket pack for most of that time. These are the absolute pound-for-pound champions of the consumer rocket market: five chunky 72g war hawk rockets, single gold brocade head per rocket, heavy report, under £5 a rocket. Nothing else under £20-a-rocket touches them.

A few years ago, some other packs started catching up. Bright Star turned up the dial in response, bumping each rocket's powder load from 60g to 72g without raising the price. They've been back in the top spot since.

Each rocket throws a shimmering gold brocade head that hangs for a second or two before fading, with a thud underneath that you feel as much as hear. People come back year after year for these; every pyromaniac knows the classic War Hawks.

A launch tube is in the pack. That's the F3 safety distance. Rated F3, a display firework: keep spectators at least 25 metres back for safety.

Want twin-break variety per shot instead of one big break? The newer War Hawk 2 splits the payload into two bursts per rocket. For more rockets in one go, the 15-rocket Rocket Alamo crate is the obvious step up. Otherwise the full rocket range covers smaller packs and singles.

Fawkes' Top Tip

These come with a launch tube in the pack. Make sure the tube is firmly in the ground and angled slightly away from your spectators. Don't just stick the rocket stick straight into the soil — it needs to slide freely out of the tube to fly safely.
