Gatling SF196 Maxsem – Roman candle launcher with 196 shots
The Gatling SF196 Maxsem with 196 shots is a dynamic Roman candle launcher classified in CE category F2. Once activated, the product fires a rapid sequence of colourful lighting effects. The high number of 196 shots creates a dense and energetic presentation, making it stand out from traditional Roman candles containing only a few or several dozen charges.
According to the supplier’s product data, the item has a 10 mm calibre. The complete presentation lasts approximately 55 seconds, providing a long sequence of rapidly repeating effects. The Gatling SF196 can be used as a standalone attraction or as a dynamic section of a larger fireworks display.
The SF196 measures approximately 70 cm in length and 5 cm in width. Due to its tall and relatively narrow construction, the product must be positioned correctly and securely stabilised in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions before activation. It is not designed to be held in the hand during operation.
The price applies to 1 Gatling SF196 Roman candle launcher by Maxsem.
196 colourful shots in a rapid sequence
The main feature of the SF196 is its impressive 196 consecutive shots. The effects appear at a rapid pace, creating an intense sequence of colourful lights that are clearly visible in the night sky.
Compared with standard Roman candles, the Gatling SF196 provides a much more extensive and dynamic presentation. The high shot count reduces longer pauses between effects and maintains a fast pace throughout almost the entire operating time.
Dynamic Gatling for enhancing a fireworks display
The Gatling SF196 is an excellent choice for noticeably increasing the pace of a fireworks show. It can be activated between slower fireworks batteries or immediately before a powerful finale to increase the intensity and attract the audience’s attention.
The most important features of this product are its rhythm, high shot count and the intensity of the colourful sequence. The SF196 does not replace a large 25 or 30 mm fireworks battery, but complements it with a distinctly different style of effect.
Where can the Gatling SF196 be used?
- during permitted New Year’s Eve and New Year celebrations,
- at outdoor birthdays and anniversary events,
- during weddings and outdoor receptions,
- as a dynamic element of a larger fireworks display,

PiroHiT expert advice
The Gatling SF196 works best in the middle or final section of a fireworks show when a noticeable increase in pace is needed. The rapid sequence of 196 colourful shots combines well with slower gold effects and can then transition smoothly into a powerful finale featuring 25 or 30 mm fireworks batteries.
Due to its tall and narrow construction, securing the product correctly against tilting is particularly important. Do not place it loosely on uneven ground. Follow the exact securing method shown on the label and leave sufficient clear space above the outlet.
