It’s both - Flare & Bear banger / screamer launcher. You are right (bear screamers are blue shell) but nope. Look closely
@Bushman5 it appears that the flare pen went straight through the primer... (or there was no primer to begin with..)
Partially correct!! Fired it twice, nothing then a slow fizzle and it fired off the screamer round. It’s a rimfire primer, but the tru-launcher is centerfire. The cartridges are tru-flare, but were in the wrong box. (Marked centerfire) . The cartridges are rimfire . It’s my own fault for going hiking without checking the primers first. I need to find an OLD tru-flare rimfire flare/banger pen launcher to use these. (Banned technically because people were loading .22 rounds into used flare cartridges and using them as zip guns) Or mod one of my centerfire launchers to work with these cartridges (got 6 screamers, 6 bear bangers). Or just toss these into a bonfire and burn them off. click, click......nothing...this was a second bear screamer round.
I would have been way off but thought the real issue was there wasnt any of our fine BC greenery loaded in there waiting to be handled or was already burned..apparently this was not a pipe! I'll give my self a minus 1 for such a thought!
