War Hawks

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. Push it firmly into soft ground at a slight angle away from spectators, slide a rocket in, light the fuse and get back to 25 metres. That's the F3 safety distance.

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.
