The difference between 1.4g and 1.3g is the percentage of flash powder in the fireworks. 1.4g fireworks will have less than 5% flash powder and 1.3g has more than 5% flash powder. More flash means bigger bursts more bang and more volatility, so you need to be careful when storing and shipping. 

According to UK legislation, Category F2 fireworks are fireworks which present a low hazard and low noise level and which are intended for outdoor use in confined areas¹.

A compound firework is a type of firework that consists of several single ignition fireworks linked together. This allows for multiple effects to be achieved with a single ignition. The fuse is lit at a single point, which sets off each firework in order. This provides a convenient and hassle-free way to enjoy a variety of firework effects without having to light multiple fireworks individually.

Fireworks will be fine for many years provided they are kept cool and dry.
