Flare gun

A flare gun is a gun that shoots flares. They are a common item in rescue kits.

Flare guns are sometimes called Very pistols, this term was named after Edward Very (1847–1910), an American naval officer who developed and popularized a single-shot breech-loading snug-nosed pistol that fired flares. Modern varieties are frequently made out of brightly-colored, durable plastic.

Flare guns maybe be used whenever someone needs to send help signal. The flares must be shot directly to above, making the signal visible for a longer period of time and revealing the position of whoever is in need of help.
