I have just never like the plastic guns for shooting off flares. I have had

they are more expensive then a flare gun kit. But when it comes to survival
I prefer to have the best.

Might want to see if you can find one of the old USN metal 12ga ones.
Look like a single barreled shotgun pistol. We have one, works like a
champ. Haven't had the gumption to tie it to a plank with a string on
the trigger, and fire off a low base 12ga birdshot round yet, but I am
thinking about it
