Please explain "Squibs" and how they operate in this situation - the only squibs I'm familiar with are the explosive charges used in TV/Movie making to simulate gun shot hits on various surfaces...
;-)

the free dictionary says
"a.  A small firecracker.
 b.  A broken firecracker that burns but does not explode."


Thanks -
