in java edition, when a firework rocket with a fire charge hits an entity, it explodes instantly. however on bedrock they instead will only explode after being airborne for a few seconds, which makes firework crossbows very hard to use. This bug has existed for years and years but I can't seem to find anyone talking about it, so I decided to report it.
We're tracking this issue at MCPE-52675, so I will resolve and link this report as a duplicate.
