Fireworks
Found in draft Danish regulation fireworks in following context, "Helårsfyrværkeri udgøres af bengalske fakler, knallerter, isfontæner, håndholdte stjernekastere, ikke håndholdte stjernekastere, trækbordbomber, bordbomber, knaldperler, hundepropper, knaldbånd og knaldhætter." I was able to find the other ones (Bengal sticks, crackers, ice fountains, handheld sparklers, non-handheld sparklers, party poppers, table bombs, throwdowns) at the sik.dk site.

(percussion) caps
I think ´hundepropper´ are related to ´knaldperler´
http://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armstrongs_blanding
They make a loud bang when fired like blanks in a toy pistol (hundeproppistol)
Mercifully, my son has grown out of playing with the things!
According to the Concise Oxford:
percussion cap
n noun a small amount of explosive powder contained in metal or paper and exploded by striking.
