The only thing you can legally fire out of a flare gun is a flare.
Firing any type of Anti-Personel (ANYTHING OTHER THAN A FLARE) round is illegal out of a flare gun. |

He meant if it is possible, not if it's commie legal.
I think it should work... Just hold on... |

Make sure to film it so the Darwin awards have some good footage.[;)]
What's the breechface made from? As well as being extremely illegal, that's dangerous as heck. I'd be afraid too. I wonder if it could be registered as an AOW if it works? |

I'd stick to the rule of "it's nobody's business unless you make it their business".

I've fired a .410 from a derringer and want to know if its going to be much worse than that.
I'm contimplating keeping a few rounds on the boat for just in case. I've been told these rounds have very little recoil from a shotgun, but... this flare gun doesn't have much mass. It is all steel though. |

Just get someone to hold your beer before you touch it off.
I very much doubt the flare gun is built to take the pressures of a real shell. |

[b]From Aguila's web site ;[/b]
All Types of [red]MINISHELLS[/red] are loaded to SAAMI specs according to 12ga shotshells of regular size, namely 2-3/4" or 3" in length. This means that regular shells and [red]MINISHELLS[/red] generate the same pressure in the chamber of 12ga shotguns. [red]MINISHELLS[/red] should NEVER be used in signal/flare guns or any other firearm other than 12ga caliber SAAMI approved shotguns. Failure to comply with this may result in injury or death to the user or others. |

I have shot a couple of the mini shells out of a 1300 12ga and the recoil was lighter that a reduced recoil police training round but not much less.
Make sure you film it [grenade] |

If I were to take pictures I sure as hell wouldn't share them with any of you!
I've seen too many photoshopped pics on this site. You guys are a bunch of cold hearted bastages. |

Quoted: I built a steel barrel for my flare launcher (the plastic one was scorched). Now I'm wondering if I could shoot these Aguila mini shells out of it. My biggest question: Is the recoil going to break my wrist? Any opinions? I have both shot shells and slugs. I'm not too proud to admit I'm scared. BTW: The new barrel is 4140 steel thicker than my 870's. work up some remote firing mechanism to pull the trigger and test it out |

Pressure in short shells are higher than 2 3/4 or 3" rounds.
