Line 2: {{quote\|31. I will not detonate Squibs.\|from ''[http://www.ficwad.com/viewstory.php?sid=7318 35 More Things I Am Not Allowed To Do At Hogwarts],'' by Nightspore}} Small explosives used to simulate gunshot wounds in movies and TV. Usually paired with a "blood bag" ~~-- which~~—which is exactly what it sounds like, a small plastic sac filled with a liquid that looks like ~~blood -- to~~blood—to produce what supposedly looks like a "real" wound. According to most actors who've had to use them, ''they hurt.'' Like most pyrotechnics, squibs will not work if they get too wet. In addition to its literal meaning, the term "damp squib" is sometimes used as a metaphor for a setup that fails in execution.
