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.

This video from DemolitionRanch showcases experimental and unconventional firearm applications, featuring the rare WWII-era Sedgley MK2 Punch Pistol and the modern Canik TTI Combat. The host, Matt Carriker, demonstrates extreme and often humorous uses of the punch gun, including attaching it to a boot and a cattle prod, while also providing a brief look at the Canik TTI Combat. The content highlights a high level of firearm knowledge and a willingness to explore unique, albeit impractical, firearm concepts.

This entry details the L.M.P. 1889, a French hand-thrown munition, presented by Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons. Initially conceived for urban combat and evolving through WWI, it saw variations in material (granite, chalk) and handle construction (brass, Galalith, wood). Despite its historical context, the entire narrative is revealed as an April Fools' Day hoax, highlighting the importance of critical evaluation of historical accounts.
