You probably saw some pretty great fireworks on the Fourth of July but you probably didn't see anything quite like this custom-made giant fireworks tank of glory.

Genius Peter Sripol, who's powered up NERF guns before, turned his attention to those little fireworks tanks, but decided it was time for a super-duper-sized example.

In the above video, via Gizmodo, Sripol and his pals put together a giant, life-sized version of the famous little tank that operates exactly like the smaller version does before exploding into a deluge of sparks and explosions that's electrifying to watch.

Just don't try it at home.
