RV-85 flare launcher. Czech quality for an insanely low price. Can DD it if I want to put up with the federal probing, or sell it later for a profit with no hassles if not. And it'll be fun in the mean time.  CZ BRNO RV85 Flare Launcher 26.5mm #FLARE-RV85 |

This is 26.5mm, roughly equivalent to 4ga. You can shoot a whole lot of other really cool stuff out of it though... RV85 Flare rifle OOOORAH!
This was also used to shoot tear gas through walls by the Czech police. It's massively overbuilt and can handle a wide variety of payloads. Without having to register it as a destrucitve device I can shoot smoke or flares, and probably chalk marker rounds as well. Anything else and I'll have to fork over the $200 to the feds. |

Legal in all 50 states.

I'm interested in the gun. I've already got the little plastic gun that shoots the 12 gauge flares.
However the flares for the Czech look freaking expensive!
