I've seen this cake described differently by others, but the ones I fired last year weren't too good. They sent up 6 shots at a time and each group broke into a mixure of crackling flowers, a few colored stars, and what looked like little scrambling comets. The breaks looked really messy and they weren't very big.

i think it is a good 500g cake. it has 36 shots and for the first part it shoots 5 shots a little to the left and five shots a little to the right. all ten shots whistle on the way up and they slightly swirl. then all ten break into really nice big colored palm trees, and theres lots of crackle.
the next ten shots are the same going up, but they break into brocades with tons of crackle.
the next ten are the colored palms again.
then only 5 shots go up and break into brocades with tons of crackle.
as soon as these ones break 5 more go up with brocades also and tons of crackle.
then 5 palms go up, and as soon as they break 5 more palms go up.
then 10 brocades go up with tons of crackle, and its over.
the label says only 36 shots but i counted about 60 shots. the cake is pretty fast paced (38 seconds long) so it would be good for a show.
i would buy this cake for $40 or less.

fireworkslvr,I think that you got your cakes confused.I agree with what casper said.By the way Shotgun Wedding is a 36 shots cake.

I just watched the video, yeah the breaks were a little messy but it's somewhat unique from other cakes. I can imagine what a couple of these going off together would sound like. Shocked

I did not care for it as I like to have huge breaks in my 500 gram cakes. I like to get what i pay for.

There's also a video of it on Bob Weaver's PyroVideo #4 or 5 (the one where everything on there is listed in A-D, E-G, type of structure).

I just checked PYROvideo #4. That cake is completely different than the Shotgun Weddings I have fired. Not only are the breaks different, but the firing sequence is also different. The ones I lit had the same pause between each of the six groups of shots. The one on the video actually sends a couple of the groups up very close together.

Not sure where you're seeing brocade breaks, though. All I see are groups of palm breaks and then groups of crackling flowers. You can actually see the stars spreading out before they "break" into cracking flowers, but I don't see any brocades.

I just checked another Shotgun Wedding at a different point on our video. It actually alternates between crackling flowers and breaks mixed with glitter, spinners, and what looks like poor mum breaks. They could be palms, but they look like weak mums to me.

That's four different versions. Anyone else seen a different one? Laughing

Seems like they couldn't make up their minds on this one.

Based on Bob Weaver's video I had thought about trying to get Shotgun Wedding for my show this year, but considering all of the inconsistencies of performance mentioned here, I'm a bit reluctant.

There is also a video of it on www.herbiesfireworks.com under movies. I think it looks like the one on pyroreview though.
