Saying you could load anything but flares into them would be illegal and cause this thread to be locked. For the most part it's just for looks. Perhaps someone in the forestry or boating industry could use the flare attachment.

Police departments can buy "less lethal" rounds, but a civilian possessing anything that could be considered an "anti-personell" round for a flare launcher would be violating the NFA.
Basically, they are for looks and launching flares. And for adding a rediculous amount of weight to your rifle for no good reason. Most people who buy them heft them a few times, take a couple of pictures, then remove the launcher and stick it in the closet. -Troy |

they may be usefull for launching smoke, but i cant think of how smoke would be usefull. maybe a m79 type 37 mm would acually have some uses.
let me ask another question, can ou put a m203 37mm on a postban rifle? |

In most states, yes. In Kalifornistan, no way.

I saw couple of launchers fire smoke, flare and bird bombs, in my opinion other than the bird bombs it's kind of useless. The flare and smoke rounds don't go very high or far, the flare rounds (at least the ones I saw launched) didn't have parachutes, so they went up and floated down too fast to be of use.

That's what I figured, I'll just stick a roman candle under my barrel and be happy!
