Effects:
M-80�s go like a large firecracker. You shouldn't have to worry about shrapnel, due to the cardboard tube.
Modification:
You can add stars to them, to add color. You can add aluminum powder for sparks. Or you can add things like road flare powder to make them flash red. Experimentation.
( now if you have ever read the portion about m-80's from the a-files by Zero, then this might sound kinda like his. That is where i learned to make mine.)
