Flaregun anyone?
Heard that in WWII some crazy SOB in the US Navy used a flaregun, loaded with magnesium flares, as his primary "boarding arm". Nothing like a ~4000*F orb forcibly planting itself into your upper torso at close range; I somehow doubt even the mighty .45ACP could do that much damage in any guise.Never bring a <knife> flaregun to a gunfight!...
