[C38] On Board weapons

[William Knowles]

They make this insert that will fit in your flare gun and in shoots I think
38 cal bullets. Be good you only get one shot if your target is close. They
are legal and do not need to be declared so the ad says. I would not shoot a
12 gauge shotgun shell in a flare gun I do not think it can handle the load
and will probably blow up in your hand.
