yes, but any UMC 10 and 12 work equally well.

My hardware store always has them but Amazon does , just in case my hardware store is too far away.

They, along with so many other products in America, have been deemed 'unsafe'.... you might start a fire with them...:shock:

Ironically, I just picked up another batch, and low and behold, Dean was close; they emit Carbon Monoxide!:eek:

When I was a kid, I had an old feeble King BB-Gun (Think Daisy 25). One of my buddies and I would run the BBs out, and raid the strike anywhere matches on the fusebox, and wrap old copper wire around the stick just behind the head for weight. Stuck the match stick tail down the barrel and 'blazed away'.
We had a block front porch railing where we'd shoot at paper targets taped on the other end of the porch and when the matches hit the blocks they'd light.
Kinda fun for 9 or 10 year old kids. :whistle::nono:
