Talk:Flare gun
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the UK, I believe that flare guns are actually illegal, and are thus not "commonly found in rescue kits". I know this applies to the Very pistol. Does anyone know the situation in the rest of the world? (maritime distress flares in the UK are fired from a hand-held tube, a little like a "roman candle" firework) --Canthusus 15:07, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] how does it work
Does anyone know the difference between how a firearm operates vs how a flare gun operates. What is the difference in the "process"? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 206.194.127.112 (talk • contribs) . They are about identical, a rear impact by a pin, similar to a revolver , propels a signal. 64.26.148.160 18:27, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
