This video explores the possibility of using a 12-gauge flare launcher to set off perimeter alarms. Initial attempts with standard flare cartridges in the launcher resulted in ignition failures, with only primer strikes observed. A breakthrough was achieved by adding a small piece of paper around the flare's primer to create a tighter seal, allowing it to function as a signaling device or animal deterrent. The experiment also briefly tested firing the flare cartridges in a 12-gauge shotgun, noting the significant noise output.

This video demonstrates how to set up a 'Camp Safe' device with a 12 gauge blank cartridge to create a loud tripwire alarm. The mechanism, designed by Orion, functions similarly to a pest deterrent and is triggered by a loop, detonating the blank to scare off animals or intruders. The setup emphasizes maximizing noise with minimal space and allows for adjustable trigger sensitivity.

This video compares the IWA International Thunder Flash, Mark V, Mark 7, and Mark 9 noise distraction devices. The Thunder Flash is noted as less potent than the larger models and not recommended for detonation out of water. The Mark 9, designed as a diver signaling device, is exceptionally loud, even underwater. The speaker emphasizes the significant noise difference between the devices, suggesting the larger ones are at least twice as loud as the smaller Thunder Flash.

This video demonstrates the use of a specialized shotgun shell designed to deploy bear spray and a flash-bang effect. The presenter tests the "hot mama" rounds, noting their effectiveness in creating a deterrent cloud of cayenne pepper. The demonstration highlights the immediate and intense sensory impact on the shooter and the potential deterrent effect on an animal.

This video demonstrates the 'Hot Mama' shotgun shell, a combination flashbang and bear spray. The instructor tests its effectiveness and potential drawbacks, noting the intense sensory effects and the risk of the cloud returning towards the shooter. While the sound and chemical irritant are effective deterrents, the back-blast effect is a significant concern for safe deployment.
