Kashogi definitely won.
Normally, on the Fourth of July, my family likes to bring in some large fireworks that aren't legal in our county, and then shoot them up into the air. My mother always worries that we'll set the house on fire, and typically, one or two fire into a tree at some point into the night.
For the past two or three years, we bought some mortars, so we could launch up to nine "shells" up into the air at once, via tying fuses together, or using paper tape, or something similar.
Last year, something went wrong. We set up the fireworks where we normally did, with a large pile of fireworks roughly five feet away from the mortars, filled them, tied/taped 'em together, and when we lit them, and it was time for them to shoot into the air, they just exploded in the mortars on the ground. We tried it twice, and it was definitely a sight to see, something both amazing and a bit scary. We scared my grandmother badly, for some reason she believed the fireworks were shooting out at her (..."I went left and they went left, I went right and they were right there!), but she's a little nuts, anyways. From there, we just fired the large fireworks boxes that have the maximum limit of gunpowder, and anywhere from about nine to twenty shots, set to go off in a specific order. Those worked well enough.
We didn't find out about the mortars this year, instead, we were at Disney for my father's birthday, and we watched their fireworks show, which was rather larger, but not anywhere near the actual fun of doing it yourself.
