Talk:M8 flare pistol

Grenades?

If this fires 40mm flares, you could technically fire grenades of the same diameter, right?--H3nry8adger1982 (talk) 12:01, 24 December 2016 (EST)H3nry8adger1982

Hardly, as flare rounds are shorter than 40mm grenades. Greg-Z (talk) 12:23, 24 December 2016 (EST)

Oh, OK. Thanks for not berating me over the subject--H3nry8adger1982 (talk) 16:54, 24 December 2016 (EST)H3nry8adger1982

Also the number was wrong anyway, it's in the old 37mm calibre used by riot launchers. I don't think the 40mm calibre even existed at the time this thing was designed, that was developed due to NIBLICK in the SALVO / SPIW program in the sixties. Evil Tim (talk) 04:44, 25 December 2016 (EST)
