Firework, disappointing when damp (5)

I believe the answer is:

squib

(Other definitions for squib that I've seen before include "Firecracker" , "Firework (perhaps damp!)" , "Ultimately explosive" , "Firework (disappointing, if damp)" , "Small explosive, may be damp" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
