Well, for $35 a pop, I ordered up some of the surplussed new-unissued HK 26.5mm flare pistols. Why not? Theres some legitimate need…first of all, they’ll be just the ticket for signalling out in the field…also nice for signalling the start/stop/abort of large operations….but, cmon,thirtyfive bucks for brand new HK anything is a good deal.
