Hi All,
I have a 12 Ga. Flare pistol for boating. (signaling for help, repelling boarders, discouraging jetskiers, etc., etc.)
Has (and if you haven't, please don't) anyone tried these 12 Ga. flares in a real gun? I thought about it and dimly recall someone getting one stuck in the barrel with the result that they needed a new barrel. I would love to be able to stick a few of these in my kit for emergency purposes, but am unwilling to possibly ruin a barrel testing.
Any thoughts?
