How Do I Use a Flare Gun?

A flare gun is made out of plastic and is used to discharge aerial flare cartridges. For more information, please visit www.boatingsafety.com/FlareEducation.

Lmao expires my ass. I remember thinking that was a thing. Found my grandpa's old flare gun on his boat that looked just like this one only a slightly beefier barrel. We were going through his things years ago and it was from the 90's. I pulled it out acting stupid and said there was no way it could work since it said on the package 1996. I remember that was the year he bought the boat and it was the first year we went fishing together. God damnit I miss him.

I use it with the degreaser and axetinguisher

I prefer to use the detonator, you can use it like the flare gun and can jump with it.

Plus you could kill a mountain lion with a flare gun…

First: Equip The Flare Gun from your loadout inventory. Second: Shoot The Flare Gun while aiming at your target. Third: IF it hits, the target takes 30 attack damage, and gets lit on fire! Extra: If the target is already on fire, The Flare Gun will do 90 attack damage(critical hit) instead! (this is clearly a joke because I'm talking about Team Fortress 2 and my profile pic is the pyro from TF2 so yeah) BTW if anybody in the class laughed at this I hope I distracted the class.

Was thinking this was a D&D reference and that would only happen with a Nat 20 roll for proficiency.

​@@SeaTowFoundationthere are supringly a ton of games with flare guns! i think ive played almost as many games with flares in them as firearms (my personal favorite being the "the forest" flare (a survival horror game, one of the best games of all time in my opinion))

I dislike the safety lock for the hammer, what if my other hand got messed up? Mine just arrived today and thats the first thing i thought.

[@rayss3323]

Can these flares be fired out of a 12 gage shotgun?

Expires after 24 months? Right...

[@SeaTowFoundation]

All pyrotechnic flares expire 42 months after manufacturing and no longer meet USCG carriage requirements.

[@GrantDWilliams82]

@@_wayward_494 The government has ridiculously short expiration date requirements on pretty much every food and consumer cosmetic that exists, but yeah, they're totally being honest and objective when it comes to flares. Flares are special.
