rockets (projectiles, general) (fireworks (explosive equipment), explosive equipment, ... Furnishings and Equipment (hierarchy name)) |

Note: Cylindrical projectiles that can be propelled to a considerable height or distance by the combustion of the contents and the backward ejection of waste gases, usually giving a burst of light and used for signalling, in maritime rescue, for entertainment, and as a firework, typically giving a brilliant visual display at the apex of its ascent. For weaponized rockets, use "missiles (weapons)." |

Additional Notes: |
|
Dutch ..... Cilindrische projectielen die tot op een aanzienlijke hoogte of over een aanzienlijke afstand afgevuurd kunnen worden dankzij de verbranding van hun inhoud en de achterwaartse uitstoot van afvalgassen, waardoor doorgaans ook een lichtflits ontstaat. Deze raketten kunnen gebruikt worden als signaal, voor redding op zee, voor het vermaak of als vuurwerk, vaak met een sierlijke visuele ontploffing zodra de raket zijn hoogtepunt bereikt heeft. Gebruik 'raketten (wapens)' voor raketten die als wapen gebruikt worden. |
