War Hawk – 5 Pack Rockets by Bright Star Fireworks 1.3G

Unleash the full force of the night sky with the War Hawk 5 Pack from Bright Star Fireworks — one of the most powerful consumer rocket packs available. Containing five individually loaded rockets, each delivering a massive 60g powder charge, the War Hawk pack screams to a peak height of 30 metres before detonating with a spectacular burst and a thunderous, maximum-rated 5/5 noise report that will be heard for miles around.

What makes the War Hawk 5 Pack stand out is its variety. Each of the five rockets produces a completely different aerial effect — from rich brocade crowns dissolving into purple and green, to sweeping golden willow tails breaking into red, blue, and ti-chrysanthemum finales. No two rockets in the pack look the same, turning a simple sequence of five launches into a varied, professional-quality aerial display in its own right.

Classified as 1.3G — a step above standard consumer 1.4G fireworks — the War Hawk pack is designed for buyers who want genuine power, real height, and maximum impact. It is ideal for open-field displays, large garden events, organised community celebrations, Bonfire Night, and New Year's Eve countdowns where spectacle and volume are the priority.

⚠ Important: Due to its 1.3G hazard classification and maximum 5/5 noise rating, the War Hawk 5 Pack is not suitable for noise-sensitive locations or small enclosed gardens. A minimum clear safety distance of 25 metres is required. Read all label instructions before use.

What to Expect

Each War Hawk rocket launches with a powerful, fast-burning motor that propels it vertically to approximately 30 metres in seconds. The flight is dramatic — the motor trail is visible against the night sky as the rocket streaks upward before the burst charge fires at peak altitude, detonating with a very loud report and a full aerial effect visible across a large area.

The brocade effects produce a wide, shimmering silver crown that hangs in the air before the coloured stars emerge and fade, while the golden willow variants cascade in long, weeping gold trails that give way to rich coloured star breaks. The ti-chrysanthemum in Rocket E adds a distinctive multi-layered bloom effect that stands apart from a standard star burst.

With five rockets to fire, the War Hawk pack works brilliantly as a standalone finale sequence or as the centrepiece of a longer display. Space the launches 30–60 seconds apart to let each effect clear before the next, or fire them in rapid succession for a relentless five-rocket barrage.

Safety Information

Important Safety Instructions

  • Suitable for outdoor use only. Never use indoors or in confined spaces.
  • Maintain a minimum clear safety distance of 25 metres in all directions from the launch point.
  • Due to the 1.3G classification, ensure no members of the public or bystanders are within the safety perimeter.
  • Insert the wooden stick firmly into a sand-filled bucket, sturdy bottle, or purpose-made launch tube pointing vertically upward before lighting.
  • Never hold a rocket in your hand or direct it towards people, animals, vehicles, or property.
  • Light the fuse using a long-reach lighter or portfire and retire immediately to at least 25 metres.
  • Never attempt to relight or investigate a firework that has failed to ignite — wait a minimum of 5 minutes, then soak thoroughly in water.
  • Ensure a minimum of 25 metres clear horizontally and 30 metres clear vertically of any obstructions, overhead cables, trees, or structures.
  • Do not use in winds above 20 mph — high winds can significantly affect rocket trajectory.
  • Always read and follow all safety instructions printed on the product label.
  • For use by persons aged 18 years or over only.
  • Store in a cool, dry location in a closed metal container, away from heat sources and ignition, and out of reach of children.
  • After use, soak all spent rockets and sticks in a bucket of water for at least 30 minutes before disposing safely in household waste.

In the United Kingdom, fireworks may only be used between 7am and 11pm on most nights. Extended hours apply on Bonfire Night (until midnight), New Year's Eve, Diwali night, and Chinese New Year (until 1am). Always check your local authority guidelines before your display.

Frequently Asked Questions

How high do War Hawk Rockets fly?

War Hawk Rockets reach a maximum peak height of approximately 30 metres (around 98 feet) under standard outdoor conditions. This makes them one of the highest-reaching consumer rockets available. Actual height may vary depending on wind conditions and launch tube angle.

How loud are War Hawk Rockets?

War Hawk Rockets are rated the maximum 5 out of 5 for noise. Each rocket produces a very loud aerial report at burst. They are not suitable for noise-sensitive residential areas, events near animals, or displays where a quieter performance is required.

What effects do the 5 rockets produce?

The pack contains five individually labelled rockets, each with a different effect: Brocade to purple, Brocade to green, Golden willow to red, Golden willow to blue, and Golden willow to ti-chrysanthemum. Each rocket looks completely different in the sky.

What does 1.3G classification mean?

1.3G is a hazard classification indicating a firework with a higher explosive content than standard 1.4G consumer fireworks. Products classified 1.3G must be handled, stored, and transported in accordance with UK Explosives Regulations. They are still available for consumer purchase but require greater care and larger safety distances.

What is the minimum safe distance for War Hawk Rockets?

The minimum recommended safety distance is 25 metres from the launch point in all directions. Given the 1.3G classification and maximum noise rating, we strongly recommend using the largest clear space available and keeping all spectators well beyond this minimum distance.

Are War Hawk Rockets suitable for a garden display?

War Hawk Rockets require a minimum 25 metre clear safety distance and reach 30 metres in height. They are best suited to open fields, large grounds, or professional display sites. Small or enclosed gardens are not appropriate for this product. Always assess your available space carefully before purchase.

What does 60g powder weight mean?

The 60g figure refers to the Net Explosive Content (NEC) — the mass of the active pyrotechnic composition in each rocket. At 60g, this is a significantly larger charge than standard consumer rockets, which contributes to the War Hawk's exceptional height, loud report, and powerful aerial burst.

Can I fire all 5 rockets at once?

Each rocket should be fired individually from a separate launch tube. They must never be bundled together or fired simultaneously without proper professional setup. For the best display effect, space each launch 30–60 seconds apart to allow the effect from each rocket to clear before the next is fired.

What should I do if a War Hawk Rocket fails to ignite?

Never return to a lit or partially lit firework. Retire to a safe distance and wait a minimum of 5 minutes. Then carefully soak the entire rocket and stick in a bucket of water for at least 30 minutes before disposing safely. Do not attempt to re-light or dismantle a failed firework.
