Back in the late eighties, an associate gave me a device that looked like a large firecracker (about the size of the one Adam is holding) with a short tube and string taped to it. The official looking label stated āGround Burst Simulatorā, but heck, it was only a firecracker.
After carrying it around in my briefcase on the back of my motorcycle for about two weeks, I finally got out to a firing range. āHell yes, I wanna see it go offā the range master said. So I jerked the string as the instructions stated, and threw it about 50 feet. We ducked down behind a couple of concrete shooting benches until it started making a whistling noise. As we peeked over the concrete, the descending whistle stopped. Then it went off! We saw the shock wave! We also found a piece of gravel partly embedded in a railroad tie a dozen feet from the explosion.
Iāve seen flash-bangs set off, and they are dazzling, but Iāve never heard an explosion like the āGround Burst Simulator.ā I later learned, from the aforementioned associate under threat of bodily harm, that it was supposed to simulate an artillery ground burst.

Why does the son say āIām sure itās not [āstreet legalā] . . .ā when he means that heās sure it IS street legal?
