Yes, here in SD we have some fairly lax fireworks laws, and some have devised a way to make "bombs" out of sparklers. These are very dangerous, and I would never tell anyone how to make one, but let's just say that if you have a stump or rock you want to get rid of, these will do it. I'm not sure, but I would guess that they would also be illegal.

We always have a huge family get-together on July 4th. A very rough, competitive ball game, lots of trap/target shooting, a huge picnic, and then a fireworks display that would put many other displays to shame. Some of our group get quite inventive with their work with high explosives. We had a slight mishap a couple years ago that required some skin grafting and other medical attention. That involved a piece of fireworks that tipped over and spewed burning balls of fire into the crowd and into several of the boxes of fireworks. That caused some excitement for several minutes till the explosions ended. Since I'm an EMT, I usually am called upon to treat the injuries from the ball game and the burns from the fireworks. Luckily, there have not been any mishaps from the shooting sports. And this is all accomplished without the aid of any alcohol or drugs. Amazing what male hormones/immaturity can do.

I don't even allow my boy to tell me what he does on the 4th anymore! Sparkler bombs and bottle rocket tag?

They did say they could blow out the beaver dams for me, no problem?

You probably don't want to know how. BYW, the beavers will just rebuild.
