You just can't use them to launch bad things.

Hold out for an M-79....You can get reloadable brass for them and practice rounds from them.

I don't get the point of owning one? Since you can't shoot anything but signal flares, why waste good money? Maybe because it looks cool under your AR15, and you want to play Rambo?

Never did. But I'd rather spend my money on something I can use than waste it on something silly. I don't do much signaling.

This appeals to me more …… I'm a history nerd. US used these instead of the Japanese Type 89 "Knee Mortar" or the Red Devil Italian rifle grenades or Germans various rifle grenades.

But these don't really go boom, they just thud. This is kind of interesting deep dive with the various settings and the suggestion it was almost as useful as a early bazooka.
