he right something to do with pyrotechinics in a car police can do you for it if they are looking for something to do you for

check the expirey on them as we set off my mates one and it practically exploded 8-[ just make sure you do it away from a public road and away from any airports or away from the sea as they are similar to distress flares and upset the local authorities :whistle:

I wouldn't advise using it, if you've ever tried to put a flair out you'd understand... :lol:

Mines there but i don't trust it, what if you had a bump and it went off ?
they must get unstable as they will be quite old now

you just said that 3 mins ago :mrgreen: :lol: hehe

I still have mine. Pulled it out the case and it looks new. Was getting the urge to strike it but thought better not hehe :D. Im guessing in Japan they use these instead of warning triangles?

Basically yes they are used as warning triangles but i wouldnt recomend it as if it blows over and rolls into traffic that could be interesting to explain.

Next time im shooting ill set mine off as the land is private and cleared for use with pyrotechnic grenades smoke grenades flashbangs etc so a signal flare isnt going to be any problem.

Ill take vid for save you all using yours. :thumleft:
