M-80s were originally made in the early 20th century by the U.S. military to simulate explosives or artillery fire; later, M-80s were manufactured as fireworks.
М-80 были изготовлены в начале XX века американскими военными для имитации взрывчатых веществ или артиллерийского огня; позже, М-80 изготавливался, как фейерверк.
