This would avoid buying a "real" gun for defending ones sailboat from
pirates. Thoughts?


All I can say is if the gun is plastic (which some, are...) your in
for a big surprise...


MY BAD, I forgot about those HUMONGOUS storms on the Chesepeake so I'd
say "Seas 2-3 feet, bays and inland waters a moderate chop" Harry
would respond, "OMG Hurricane a comin, MAYDAY, MAYDAY"

So, we have actual proof that some people dont read. These shells are
DESIGNED to be fired from a 12 guage flare gun, you know, the Orion/
Olin type.


Why not just shoot the pirates with the flare ???
