Race to the guns

Starter pistol flares are a pyrotechnic accessory very popular among owners of starter guns. To fire a flare, you need a starter pistol (check our blank-firing pistols), with a special adapter screwed onto the muzzle that holds 15 mm flares. That’s not all, though—the pistol must be loaded with blank ammunition which, when fired, ignites the flare and propels it upward. The stronger the blank cartridge, the higher the pistol flare will fly. There are many types of flares for blank-firing pistols, but the most popular are blank flares (so-called knallpatronen) and flares with comet and multicolor flash effects. The cheapest are blank flares, which serve as aerial firecrackers. More expensive are comet-effect flares, and the most expensive are pistol flares with colorful flash effects which, despite their small size, can create a beautiful pyrotechnic display in the sky. The most common use of flares for blank-firing pistols is scaring off wild animals and deterring birds in orchards. There’s a reason they’re also called signal flares. They’re an essential element on mountain trips and on bodies of water. They work great as a distress signal and are very effective for indicating your location in case of an accident. Pistol flares, along with blank-firing pistols, have also become a staple at various sports events, where they signal, for example, the start of a race.
