What can I use this for?
>>31792218
Shooting flares
>>31792218
Paying a hefty fine if you live near a large body of water.
put a 12 gauge slug in there
>>31792241
Huh?
>>31792218
Of you're ever stranded in the wilderness or out to sea and need rescue, wait until dusk and fire a flare at a very slight angle.
God willing someone will see it and come to your rescue.
Lighting a heavily smoking fire in the same area will assist in rescue attempts.

I'm guessing he means firing it for fun and then getting fined when the Coast Guard has to respond to your false alarm.
>>31792421
Who the fuck waits around long enough for the fucking Coast Guard to track down your location?
>>31792469
Well, if you live in a small town it's pretty easy to narrow down any retards dumb enough to do that.

>>31792613
It's metal
Anything is a dildo if your brave enough. This thing has a hardcore dildo mode, too: insert and fire.
Enjoy!
>>31792504
They going to go door to door looking for flare guns?
Are they registered? I know nothing about them.
>>31792679
Some Coast Guard pogs show up at your door with a fuckin bloodhound.

Firing thin dildos for high impact sexual violence
Also a sketchy single shot .22
>>31792736
Just buy the fucking inserts.
>>31792613
But shotgun shells are plastic as well so it cancels out
>>31792634
Doesn't matter the .12 will obliterate the thing. You can buy a .22 insert but they're shit.
>>31792634
it's pot metal, melted down hotwheels. you'd almost be better off with plastic, the shrapnel when it grenades in your head will be less damaging to everyone in your kill/casualty radius.

>Tl;dr: flares are not as much "fun" as you think they are.
Not as much as you'd think, surprisingly. Modern day flares do not actually flame until they have been propelled ~75 feet. To simplify things, think of them as "two stage rockets" (sort of). Really closer to artillery shells at a fireworks display come to think of it. The first thing that happens when you pull the trigger is that the initial charge will go off. This will send your flare flying fast as shit. With very old flares (pre 1980s or thereabouts) the flare would just shoot and burn in 1 step when you pulled the trigger. In new flares the second burning stage has 1 or even 2 (depends on brand) safety measures to pass before before being activated. The first and more common is the impact device inside the flare. If it hits something hard or comes to a quick stop after launch, the second stage of the flare will become detached and not do shit. This was probably designed because dumbasses were shooting flares into the woods and setting shit on fire. The chances are slim that you could negligently fire your flare gun horizontally into a forest at random and not hit something to activate this this safety. This also means dumbasses can shoot each other with flares inside their house and not be incinerated (only bruised). If you're feeling ballsy and want to see it in action, throw a towel over a door and shoot a flare at it (at least wear goggles and have a fire extinguisher ready though, just in case). The second safety that is not seen much anymore uses airflow to help ignite the second stage. So again, if your flare were to stop midflight, it would not actually flare. What you see in Hollywood, as usual, is bullshit. Flares are terrible, terrible weapons. You might be better off just throwing the gun. Hope you learned something.
>>31792997
Would a pre-80s flare make an okay weapon?
>>31793269
I can pretty much guarantee you they all will have expired by now.
>>31793610
>>31793269
...so no.
>>31792997
Standard Orion 12 gauge flares, from the plastic orange launcher when fired in a bedroom WILL ignite and most likely ricochet starting multiple small fires.
Signalling for a rescue chopper after falling off a cliff b/c you though you could go innawoods.
>>31792218
I've always felt that flair guns in combination with those raid fogging bug bombs would make an excellent area denial combination. Think blocking off a stairwell. Fogger (uses, or used to use propane as propellant) contains some foul stuff, should keep people out.. if it doesn't, flair gun into now propane filled hallway should. (Note: this will probably burn down whatever structure your in.. so its not exactly ideal.)
>>31792281
Why the slight angle?
>>31793725
Sounds like you have some experience in this matter...
>>31793725
They wouldn't though. Flares nowadays are damn near retard-proof.
>>31792772
hmmm

>damn near retard proof
Well, this one time...

That's really only limited by your imagination.

I have one. Been meaning to get ammo but it's damn expensive online because of hazardous shipping. Are any real stores cheap enough?
Once I get some flares I'll try reloading them with salt. Keep in near the door in case local riffraff needs a pop in the face
>>31792747
Any insert other than the .22 will blow that flare gun apart.
For the larger calibers you need the glorious all steel milsurp ones.
>>31792241
Fun fact: it's illegal to fire in any non-emergency, no water required.
>>31798146
That's not a flare gun, that's some hand-held artillery.

Retard proofing your products is a tricky thing. Just when you think you got it, somebody comes along and acts more retarded than you ever thought possible.

Make confetti popper shells and turn your flare gun into a flair gun.

Not Anon but it will have a longer path of travel before it burns out is my guess.
>>31792218
buying 12ga to .22lr inserts and fuckin around with it. gotta lathe or grind the 1/2 inch from the tip down a bit though so its the same as a flare or it wont fit though.
>>31799729
The cycle continues
>>31792218
well you could always just use it for flares :^)
>>31792218
I didn't know that Olin made flare guns. I knew they made gun powder and basically cornered the US Chlor-Alkali market, though.
>>31798146
what is this
>>31792218
I like to irritate snipers with it especially on 2fort
>>31792241
You're allowed to shoot white flares, iirc. Red flares are a no go, tho
>>31792613
I've done it.
it didn't burn all the gunpowder. the top half of the barrel blew open, and the breach latch broke. my hand was fine.
it was a little plastic flare gun reinforced with some duck tape. i feel a stronk metal one would work great
>>31792218
buy a 12 ga/.22 conversion kit off the internet for <$20. Now you have the world's cheapest single shot .22lr.
>>31792218
So, I'm just spit balling here. Prostate massager.
