M-80s were invented by the military long ago to simulate grenade explosions during training missions. Soon they became extremely popular with the public, and were sold as large firecrackers. legal firecrackers may only have 50 miligrams in them, but M-80s have about 3 grams each, making them incredibly dangerous and capable of blowing up an entire hand.

A tube firework similar to the M-80, but containing 1.5 grams of flash powder (as opposed to an M-80's 3 grams). Silver Salutes are, of course, silver in color, about 2 inches long, and have their fuses on the side of the tube, not the top.
"Hey, we're gonna go off with some M-80s, Silver Salutes and cherry bombs for some 4th Of July fun!"
