Forbidden Zone 288S JMC288 Corrida – 288-shot compound with 20/30 mm calibre
Forbidden Zone JMC288 by Corrida Fireworks is a massive multi-calibre 288-shot compound using 20 mm and 30 mm calibres. The product contains an impressive 2782 g NEC and is classified as CE category F2.
This is clearly not a standard compact firework battery. Forbidden Zone has been designed as a large multi-section fireworks show, where the huge number of 288 shots can be used to build several stages within one complete display.
The model forms part of the Corrida Fireworks collection, which includes both classic firework batteries and large premium compounds.

288 shots – a complete large fireworks show
With as many as 288 shots, Forbidden Zone sits in a completely different class from classic 25-, 49-, 60- or even 100-shot batteries.
Such a high shot count allows for a much more elaborate display with multiple stages, changes in firing pace and different levels of intensity throughout the full sequence.
Forbidden Zone is therefore best viewed as a complete fireworks show in one large construction rather than simply a battery with a high number of shots.
Multi-calibre compound with 20 mm and 30 mm
One of the most important features of Forbidden Zone is the use of two calibres: 20 mm and 30 mm.
This means that not all 288 shots are fired from tubes of the same diameter. The multi-calibre construction gives the manufacturer more flexibility to vary the different sections of the show and combine faster sequences with stronger accents from the larger calibre.
When comparing Forbidden Zone with other large compounds, it is therefore worth looking not only at the maximum 30 mm calibre, but also at how both calibres are used throughout the entire display.
An impressive 2782 g NEC
Forbidden Zone contains as much as 2782 g NEC. This figure clearly shows the scale of the entire construction.
The key specifications are:
- 288 shots,
- 20/30 mm calibre,
- 2782 g NEC,
- F2 category,
- compound construction.
NEC alone should not be the only selection criterion. With large compounds, duration, section layout, firing pace and finale design are equally important.
Forbidden Zone instead of several separate batteries
Compounds are a practical option for fireworks enthusiasts who do not want to select and combine several independent batteries themselves. The individual sections are factory-connected into one large show construction.
With 288 shots, Forbidden Zone can replace several smaller batteries and serve as a central part of a larger fireworks display.

Forbidden Zone within the Corrida Fireworks collection
Forbidden Zone is one of the largest models in the first Corrida Fireworks collection at PiroHiT.
Corrida offers a very wide range of products – from compact batteries to huge constructions with several hundred shots. Forbidden Zone clearly represents the biggest and most extensive side of the collection.
Forbidden Zone or Bitcoin 136S?
If you are comparing large Corrida compounds, it is worth putting Forbidden Zone next to Bitcoin 136S 25 mm.
Bitcoin offers 136 shots, 25 mm and 1792 g NEC, while Forbidden Zone increases the scale to 288 shots, 20/30 mm and 2782 g NEC.
The difference therefore lies not only in the shot count, but also in the overall size of the construction and the use of more than one calibre.
Forbidden Zone or China World 259S?
Another very interesting comparison is China World 259S 20/30 mm.
Both models belong to the large multi-calibre Corrida constructions with more than 250 shots. In this type of comparison, it is worth looking not only at the basic technical data but also at duration, section order, firing pace and the complete product video.
Forbidden Zone or Final Show 300S?
If a very high shot count is your priority, also take a look at Final Show 300S.
Final Show offers 300 shots in 20 mm, while Forbidden Zone has slightly fewer at 288 shots but uses a 20/30 mm multi-calibre construction.
This is a good example of why shot count alone should never be the only criterion when choosing a large compound.
288 shots or 100 shots in 30 mm?
Forbidden Zone can also be compared with large batteries using a full 30 mm calibre, such as Great Wall Corrida 100S 30 mm.
Great Wall focuses on 100 shots in 30 mm, while Forbidden Zone offers as many as 288 shots in 20 and 30 mm.
These are two different approaches to a large fireworks display: fewer shots in one large calibre or a much more extensive multi-calibre sequence.
Forbidden Zone for New Year’s Eve and large fireworks displays
With 288 shots, Forbidden Zone can serve as one of the main elements of a large private fireworks display.
The model can be considered for:
- New Year’s Eve and New Year celebrations,
- large birthdays and anniversaries,
- weddings,
- outdoor events,
- larger private celebrations,
- extended fireworks displays.
Depending on the scale of the planned event, Forbidden Zone can work as a complete major section of the show or as one of the central elements of an even larger fireworks programme.
PiroHiT expert tip
With Forbidden Zone, do not focus only on the huge number of 288 shots. The key combination is 288 shots, 20/30 mm calibre and 2782 g NEC.
With compounds of this size, the way all shots are used becomes extremely important. 288 shots fired at a fast pace can create a completely different show from the same number spread across a longer, gradually developing sequence.
Before buying, watch the full product video from beginning to end. Pay particular attention to duration, changes in firing pace, use of the 30 mm calibre and the finale.
Forbidden Zone should be treated as a complete multi-calibre fireworks show, not simply as a standard battery with a high shot count.
