Also known as "bird bombs" - an explosive cartridge that makes a loud bang to repel birds. The shell is often launched from a handheld pistol launcher, similar to a modified starter pistol. This is one of many "pyrotechnic" or fireworks-based repellents. Bangers can be used at medium range (50-100 ft.).
