Reply to comment by ILikeLenexa in TIL Anvil firing is the practice of exploding an anvil into the air. Anvils are typically fired as a celebration, be it to honor St. Clement's (the Patron Saint of blacksmiths) or in a 21 anvil salut as found in New Westminster, British Columbia. by jamescookenotthatone

The anvils go stright up and right back down not a couple of feet from the grounded anvil. Shooting a bullet goes a mile and will land almost anywhere depending on the angle of the gun being discharged.
