I doubt half of them will work, and you;ll be surprised how weak the ones that work wil be. I had a bunch, decided to light them off on July 4th. The 12 gauge shells are about the same as a decent bottle rocket, at best. The small hand held rockets with the chain pull barely work, I had 6 that were due to expire that week, only two worked and they were pretty weak. All of the hand held flares worked, I used a couple to start trash fires with, the rest I lit off and threw them in a bucket of water. One of those I threw in the bucket was a smoke flare, Big mistake, it turned my house and two of my neighbors house orange. If i were to depend on any of those, the smoke flare would be the one that would work the best. Now if those happens to be 30/50 mm flares, you might be in for a fireworks show
