This would avoid buying a "real" gun for defending ones sailboat from
pirates. Thoughts?

Don't do it.

You might irritate them.

This may make them even more angry.

If you're going to shoot at pirates please try and kill them.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.

OTOH, if I wanted to get rid of Harry Krause, I'd imitate the weather
forecast "1-2 foot seas, bay and inland waters a light chop" and he'd
disappear.

Shooting 12 guage shells in a flare gun is not very smart. The flare
gun has a tendency to blow apart which would leave you injure and the
pirates laughing.

MY BAD, I forgot about those HUMONGOUS storms on the Chesepeake so I'd
say "Seas 2-3 feet, bays and inland waters a moderate chop" Harry
would respond, "OMG Hurricane a comin, MAYDAY, MAYDAY"

So, we have actual proof that some people dont read. These shells are
DESIGNED to be fired from a 12 guage flare gun, you know, the Orion/
Olin type.

Why not just shoot the pirates with the flare ???

The fact is that you are dealing with people who just don't care and won't
be deterred by anything other than lethal force. What you have to decide is
whether you are willing to do the same. If I were wishing to deter them I
would get a semi-auto rifle like a 30.06 with a few extra clips and be done
with it and hope they don't get me first. Other than that, I would just give
in and hope they spare your lives. You could probably pick up 2-3 decent
used semi-autos and plenty of ammo for a couple of thousand bucks or less at
a gun shop. As a matter of fact, the best thing to do is to go to a gun shop
and tell the owner what you need and he will give you some advice on arms
and ammo that will do you best. You can't defeat hand grenades with a letter
opener...........
