I’ve just noticed and uptick in 37mm flare launcher activity in my inbox. I see that Spikes tactical has some under-barrel and independant flare launchers.

I for some reason thought that even the 37mm launchers had some legal issues a few years back, and I hadn’t seen them advertised. Did something change???

In semi-related matters, wasn’t there an issue with smoke grenades for civilians and their classification? Was that linked with the lack of flare launcher mentions?

Or am I just noticing the marketing? Or are they back in stock after the 2020 nuttiness.

Are the flare guns , uhm guns? Do they need a 4473? It seems not?? Or is it an ammo issue?

If smoke rounds are not kosher, what kind of rounds can you actually launch? Do these have any useful purpose? Outside of of Vietnam or PRedator LARPing?

It seems like a shotgun can do most of what these can do?

ANd of course, if I get one, I want an M32 clone with the six shots…

Bored on a Saturday…
