The Final Reckoning by Absolute Fireworks

250 Shots of Professional-Style Choreography Across Straight, V, W and Z-Firing Sequences

The Final Reckoning is an immense 250 shot compound designed for those who want the scale, variety and choreography of a complete firework display from a single ignition. Running for approximately 110 seconds from 25mm tubes, this isn’t simply about putting as many shots into the sky as possible — the effects are carefully sequenced, with colour combinations and firing patterns constantly changing throughout the performance before building towards a spectacular multi-stage finale.

It opens with a huge Z-firing fan sweep of gold tourbillion tails transforming into gold willows with crackling time rain, before pulse-fired silver strobe mines rise into golden brocades with multi-coloured tips. A double volley of pink star mines beneath white strobes leads into more tourbillion-to-brocade sequences, red brocade with green strobe, and a double volley of orange and green to red ghost effects. The pace tightens into rapid red strobe and silver darts, before purple and green bouquets spread into a V-firing formation with crackling comet tails, and three volleys of deep orange brocade palms with blue stars bring rich colour back into the display.

One of the showpiece moments is a broad W-firing red, white and blue sequence — gold brocade tails firing left and right, red to the left, white through the centre and blue to the right, all accompanied by gold glitter willow. Huge bursts of gold with green strobe follow, before a double mixed volley of gold and silver brocades pushes the display towards its finale: alternating gold and silver brocade tails Z-firing across the sky, rising into huge golden king crowns with red strobe stars and touches of white wintersweet, before a final volley of crackling tails rises into crackling palms with blue stars.

Why You’ll Love It

• 250 shots across almost two minutes of constantly changing effects
• Straight, fan, V, W and sweeping Z-firing sequences throughout
• Genuine professional-style choreography, not just repeated volume
• Showpiece W-firing red, white and blue sequence
• Spectacular multi-stage finale of king crowns and crackling palms

Perfect For

The Final Reckoning is particularly well suited to:

• Large private firework displays with sufficient open space
• Bonfire Night centrepieces
• New Year’s Eve displays
• Major birthdays, anniversaries and weddings
• Enthusiasts looking for sophisticated effect combinations rather than raw volume
• Anyone who values choreography as much as outright impact

It could comfortably form the centrepiece of a larger display, but its 250 shots and 110-second duration also give it the substance to provide a significant display sequence in its own right.

Specifications

Safety Information

The Final Reckoning is a Category F3 firework with a specified safety distance of 25 metres, and uses mixed firing patterns including angled V, W, fan and Z-firing sequences. Always read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions and only use the compound in a suitably large, clear outdoor location where all specified safety distances can be maintained — particular attention should be given to providing adequate clear space around and above the firework for its angled effects. Cakes should always be secured so they can’t fall over, there are several ways to do this. Watch our Safety videos on how to secure your cakes with [bricks] or [wooden stakes]

Never hold a lit firework or return to a firework that has failed to ignite. Children and pets should remain safely away from the firing area.
