How come nobody ever calls me when they've got parachute flares to give away?


Darn.

I mean, they're so useful.

Those in the photo look like flares fired from from a 155mm howitzer, very bright, stay up a long time, expensive. I've never fired any, but have been involved in operations where they were. They do create that "Apocalypse Now" setting rather well.

I don't think they're constructed the same as those dropped from an airplane.

ATF agent says that "practice rifle grenades" are illegal?

Not hard to build. Dangerous but not hard.

...fully automatic shotgun?

I mean, I know they exist, but I strongly suspect this is a "journalist's guide to firearms" type thing.

Folks that think they need a fully automatic shotgun haven't fired a Benelli.

You can fire all 8 rounds in a Benelli in 1.5 seconds.

That means that you can put more projectiles in the air than a submachine gun in that time.
