BUSHWICK, Brooklyn (WABC) -- The NYPD is searching for a masked suspect seen fleeing the scene after at least 11 police vehicles went up in flames early Thursday morning.

When officers went to investigate, they found undetonated explosive devices, similar to M-80s, on three other cars around the charred NYPD vehicles in Brooklyn.

the '80' in M80 stands for 80 kilos of TNT equivalent

Assuming everyone will recognize this as a joke, but "80" is for the 80 grains (5.2 grams) of flash powder in one. Real M80s are just above the legal limit for consumer fireworks, and require a license. But fireworks of a similar size with less charge are often labeled "M80" for marketing.
