What's an "M-88" firecracker?

Low power M-80.

It was a pathetic bomb attempt. I'd bet a fair number of the regulars
here could have
built a bomb that would actually work if so inclined. Just to raise the
bar, I bet that
subgroup could do it without googling though it would help refine the
device.

almost sounded to me like it wasn't actually really intended to blow up,
just create a to-do on the news. didn't really want to hurt anyone. maybe a
distraction from the oil well crisis. prolly a right-winger. :-)

b.w.
