This video explores the use of a Ramshell projectile, designed for shotguns, in a 12-gauge flare gun for self-defense. It demonstrates how a .22 blank cartridge fits into a 12-gauge shell, which then launches a projectile at high velocity. While tested on a simulated skull, the projectile caused significant damage, leading the presenter to question its suitability for less-lethal self-defense.

This video explores modifying a 12-gauge flare gun into a self-defense device using Ramshell training rounds. The presenter demonstrates firing polymer balls powered by .22 blanks into ballistic gelatin, noting their deterrent effect but also potential danger with harder projectiles. Manufacturers do not recommend this application.

This video explores the compatibility of a 50 BMG cartridge with a 12 gauge flare gun. The experiment reveals that while the cartridge fits, the flare gun's mechanism cannot ignite the tough 50 BMG primers. However, it successfully fires a standard 12 gauge blank, highlighting the difference in primer hardness. The content is presented from a hobbyist perspective, focusing on experimental curiosity rather than professional instruction.

This video explores three items presented as legal self-defense options in the US: a flare gun, a Pulsefire flamethrower, and a Phillips screwdriver. The presenter highlights that the flare gun and flamethrower can be acquired without background checks, licenses, or age restrictions, and demonstrates their potential use. The screwdriver is shown penetrating ballistic gelatin, suggesting its utility.

This video from Civilian Tactical explores three items Americans can legally possess without background checks, licenses, or age restrictions. It covers the Pulsefire Handheld Flamethrower, a Flare Gun, and a standard Phillips head screwdriver, demonstrating their potential uses and legal status as non-firearms. The content highlights items that bypass typical firearm regulations, emphasizing accessibility for self-defense and emergency situations.

This guide details the operation of a flare gun, emphasizing safety precautions and proper loading procedures. It highlights that flare guns are distinct from shotguns, using specialized cartridges. The video, presented by an experienced instructor from Tática Civil, covers loading, firing, and crucial safety warnings, including the high cost per shot and the importance of not aiming at people.

This video highlights the significant differences between flare guns and shotguns, emphasizing the inherent inaccuracy of flare guns due to their design. The speaker demonstrates this by attempting to hit a ballistic gelatin head, noting the lack of sights and the compact, solid nature of the flare cartridges which limits accuracy. The high cost per shot is also a key takeaway.

This video from Legacy Collectibles announces their annual SOS Raffle Party, detailing the event's date, location at the Hilton Hotel, and its presence at the Show of Shows. It also previews several exciting raffle items, including a P38 pistol, a Colt rifle, and a flare gun, highlighting the promotional and enthusiastic tone of the announcement.

This video compares a TAC79 37mm grenade launcher and a Caliber 12 flare gun for self-defense in a survival scenario. The grenade launcher offers a significant intimidation factor with its loud report, even if the projectile misses. However, it lacks stopping power. The flare gun, while potentially having more impact, is difficult to aim accurately.

This video debunks common self-defense tools, emphasizing practical effectiveness over novelty. Hosts Brent Wheat and Roy Huntington, with high authority from their journalism and practical experience, highlight the limitations of items like pepper spray, slingshots, bows, flare guns, bang sticks, kubotans, batons, blowguns, and strobe flashlights. They advocate for well-understood tools like walking canes and firearms, stressing de-escalation and the proper application of force.

This video explores the potential of using flares for self-defense. It demonstrates two types of flares: a mini ballistic gel block flare and a 12-gauge flare. While the mini flare produces intense heat and light, making it a potential deterrent, the 12-gauge flare is deemed impractical due to cost and inaccuracy, as evidenced by a missed shot at ballistic gelatin.

This guide outlines a test procedure to evaluate the self-defense viability of flares, specifically a Comet hand-held flare and an Orion 12-gauge flare gun. The experiment involves demonstrating flare operation, testing their deterrent effects, and conducting live-fire accuracy tests using ballistics gelatin. The conclusion emphasizes the impracticality of flares for self-defense due to significant accuracy and stopping power limitations.
