Ground Illumination Flares
 
Does anyone know if Ground Illumination flares are available for civilian purchase in Canada? I live in Richmond Hill, Ontario, and have been checking a few military surplus stores as I come across them... but, no luck so far.

I know some of you have close ties with the people that run these surplus stores, so I'd like to know if any of you know where I might find some.

Thanks!

What do you want to use them for?

concept_8 June 15th, 2005 01:42
I think they sell road flares at crappy tire, but if you're thinking of using them at games they're usually not allowed due to fire restrictions or regs, and can just get the wrong kind of attention if you're on private land and playing with friends.

Ground Illumination flares are, as I understand, contained within a canister. Turning the bottom and striking it against a flat surface ignites a charge which lifts a flare into the air. The flare is then suspended by a parachute for some minutes while it illuminates the vicinity.

I was going to use these for an airsoft game me and my friends are going to up north. The owner of the field has okayed the use of the flares, and his plot of land is large and remote enough to remove the chance of creating any undue alarm. Besides, the neighbors there are into the games and send their husbands and sons to play.

Any ideas?

Try this or any other marine flare suppliers of parachute flares. Just don't use them over water.

Military illumination flares are "defence explosives" as defined by section 150 of the Explosives Regulations, and are not approved explosives for civilian use. They are only approved explosives for transportation by common carrier. Possession of military ordnance of any sort is a good way to get your name on CPIC.

Road flares are a cheap, easy source of ground illumination, but burn red. There are also various consumer fireworks you can buy that have an illumination component as part of their effect. I'd start with flares and see if they give you the type of effect you want. concept_8's caution about fire hazards is quite valid; pay attention to it.

As an aside, how do you plan on shipping an explosive device into Canada?

"you can contact me threw the website" excellent...

ToRN November 27th, 2005 19:58
that site makes my brain hurt

8-O, haha, that's the 'lamest' attemt to scam someone I've ever seen.
If this is real, then "Jorge Bush" is a frog.

By the way, you do know this is AirsoftCanada, right?

And what the hell are you trying to say here? That you built a weapon for the prime purpose of killing someone without leaving evidence?

What device does every home in America

Yes a person could really get away with murder. I built such a
device for under $100.00 dollars.
The device is called a n.e.r.f. Gun.
Fires 12,000 WATTS of microwave energy.

mcguyver November 27th, 2005 20:10
microwaves excite water molecules to boil and would cause a mostly-water animal to boils from the inside and explode. pretty easy to NOT notice that. i can see the police say" gee, fred. i don't know what killed him. could be a knife, or maybe that microwave that's the size of a car".

Erm... that sounds like someone played too much HL/Quake/Blood/some other FPS with a microwave/electricity gun.

Back to the topic, IIRC WK has some para flares available, right?

Sure do. Awesome fun at night. Last month we had five guys go into the bush at the Ranch for 40+ hours as the hunted. I showed up with my buddies at 4 am on the last day to hunt them, and we torched off two paraflares to light the area up. I was talking later that evening with one of the guys in the bush and he said the flares went right over their heads and scared the crap out of em, they all took cover and prayed they were still enough that we didn't see them. :)

Crappy tires sells road flares and I've seen flare guns at some stores as well.

These are not a great idea for fields because of the heat at which they burn and their exposed flame. It's dangerous for wooded / indoor areas (so basically its dangerous anywhere) The Para-Flares are fine because they burn out before they touch down.

your right about the web site being slapped together.is was and the reason it was is because of the large number of orders from our mag,ad.
we needed a fast fix to accept orders and it worked.
as for your 9 year old remark pyrotechnics mad me 243,000 in the last 6 months of last year.
we sell rocket flares just about as fast as they can be manufactured.as for the web site is is being corrected now that customers can order from it.

As an aside, how do you plan on shipping an explosive device into Canada?
we dont we sell in the us our dealer sells to canada.

HOLY SWEET FUCK

I couldn't possibly make a site that bad on PURPOSE. You have fucking GOT to be kidding, right?

Memorable quotes off the site:

"NEED URANIUM WE HAVE THAT TOO"

"Satan the Fallen angel,were did he land when he was cast down from heaven? Siberia,fact"

"Everything you should know about Satan is on this website"

Congratulations, that's by far the worst fucking site I've EVER seen.

MadMorbius December 6th, 2005 10:15
Beat me too it. Luckily, I grabbed a screenshot.

Grim Fandango December 6th, 2005 13:08
Just clicked on it now. Seems to have been cleaned up a bit. Although the "waver form" still has an incredible amount of mistakes in it. Oh yeah, and the small picture at the bottom left side that says "church of satan" on it. But other then that....

Penguin December 6th, 2005 13:28
I've always wanted to buy rocket engines from the church of satan.
