This video explores whether a 12 gauge flare gun can fire blank ammunition, a concept inspired by perimeter alarms designed to deter wildlife. While the flare gun initially produced light primer strikes, a modification involving seating a piece of paper around the primer allowed for successful ignition of blanks. The experiment then moved to a 12 gauge shotgun, where blanks were fired, demonstrating their potential as a loud deterrent.

This guide details the deployment of three distinct types of flares: a handheld signal flare, the Lifesmoke MK9 floating smoke signal, and a 12-gauge flare launched from an Orion launcher. It emphasizes safety precautions, including managing molten slag from handheld flares and ensuring a safe firing zone for the launcher. The video demonstrates practical applications for marine signaling and general emergency use.
