1. What does a flare gun shoot?

Explanation

A flare gun shoots flares. Flares are pyrotechnic devices that produce a bright light or intense heat when ignited. They are commonly used for signaling or to illuminate an area during emergencies, such as in maritime distress situations or for search and rescue operations. Flare guns are designed to launch these flares into the air with enough force to cover a significant distance and attract attention. The use of bullets, ropes, or powder is not associated with flare guns.
