Also they are pretty heavy and the ammo is not cheap.

 

Not that at all---just do not have any more room to hang something else---LOL

 

Considering most ranges frown upon tracer rounds I have to imagine they'd REALLY dislike a 37mm flare

 

I'd have to take my Tee-shirt cannon off and I just got it sighted in.

 

probably the same reason you don't see many hand-cranked Gatling guns, despite them also being legal.

 

I'm working on getting my hand crank. and the 30 7 millimeter is next on my list.

You need a reason?

 

I will contact Red Jacket and suggest that they build one, you know since they build all kinds of stuff that has "never been done before"

 

Because you can carry a $50 12ga flare pistol that does the same thing and weighs less, and they're priced out of the NCStar/Leapers "bolt on ALL THE THINGS!" market.

 

The more snark in the thread, the more I think I should get one.

 

Rock it at PHA, be a trendsetter.

 

To heavy and not practical IMO.

Are you referring to those boat emergency flare guns?

Pretty sure this site has a rail-mount snark launcher bolted on. With Lock Tite red.

 

So what exactly is legal to possess with these flares?

Yep. There's also the 26.5mm Czech flare guns, which can also do smoke, though both gun and ammo seem to have gotten harder to find.

 

They look cool, but for me there isn't a place to go shoot it. And I cannot justify the expense. If someone has one though I would like to try it out.

yep... (did double-take to see if Id been trasported to arf.com)

 

Just to be sure... so a regular 'ol boat flare gun can shoot 37mm flares?

I impulse bought this set pretty cheap at the Reno gun show a while back. Haven't figured out where to try it and I wouldn't want to bust up the set in the pouch actually (which is why I got the extra box of what I think are the single white flares). I suspect the flares are 1 red flare, 3 red flares, 1 white flare, or smoke (blue).

 

How much do the 37mm launchers run for?

 

"I suspect the flares are 1 red flare, 3 red flares, 1 white flare, or smoke (blue)"
You'd be right. I've never seen the single white before. For the smoke be thinking marking and not concealment. Also, give a parachute illumination a try someday, just don't set the field on fire.

OK, so I'm thinking about buying a 37mm launcher. Not the type that attaches to the gun, but a stand alone. Either a boat type like the Olin brand pistol, or a mil surplus metal one, or something like this:

Any suggestions among the various choices?

Also, I know smoke and light flares are legal. But I'm not clear on CS or OC flares. Are they legal for non-LE?
