It would be wrong for me to say that I found some more $2 packs at a store that just restocked. So I won't say that.

But how much current would your launch system have to deliver to ignite that cluster?

For something like that you'd want to use flash pan ignition.

During a weekend camping trip with our Cub Scout pack, my wife and kids and I stopped by the Wal-Mart in La Grange, Texas this past Saturday.

They had three 3-packs of C6-7's on clearance for $3.00 each, and six 3-packs of C6-3's on clearance for $1.50 each. We were low on cash, so I didn't buy any of them.

As far as I could tell, there were no other rocketry items at that Wal-Mart.

You could have opened up a Wal-Mart credit card on the spot and bought them all.

I could have, but there's nothing I need less than another credit card.
