Anyone ever play around with a military surplus flare gun? Something like this:
I've thought about getting a Polish, Czech, or other military flare gun firing 26.5mm flares just to have around. The 26.5mm flares are really expensive. I'd probably buy a box to store for an emergency and then just use a 12 gauge flare adapter device in the meantime. They also make metal adapters that let you shoot pistol ammo and rimfire ammo out of the flare pistol.
I can't really think of a practical use for one other than during camping or boating etc. in an emergency or maybe to pop some smoke or star shells on the 4th of July. So what do you think? Should I get one of these old army flare pistols?
