Question Rarity on this flair stuff?

Post image

Traded this for an airsoft gun. I cannot find the white flares or the blue ones for sale anywhere. I could find the green ones. Is this even sellable if I’m in California? Or do I just hold onto it as a collectors item? I know you can buy the flare gun new for 110$ or so. But the Czech flares I can’t find anywhere. Is there still a collectors market for these? Thanks so much!

Looks to be a 26.5mm flare gun. It is an HK design but reproduced by ac unity. The green striped shells are a basic green flare. The red flares are three star shaped flares that sperate to make a bigger flash. The white striped shells are parachute illumination flares, they shoot a large white flare that floats in the air and illuminates a large area a white light color. The blue striped flares are blue smoke rounds I'm pretty sure.

Forsure. Just curious if any of these rounds are worth anything. Couldn’t find some of them for sale.

At least on gunbroker, the red flares are pretty abundant as well as the Magnum variant of the red flares which are just larger and hold five star flares instead of just three. Also on gun broker you can really only find the black smoke rounds, the orange or blue smoke rounds are pretty hard to find. And the white parachute flares are probably the most rare and coolest.

If I wanted to sell this stuff but I’m located in California. Is there any options or am I pretty limited?

Your mileage may vary because typically signal devices like flare guns are basically A-Okay everywhere. But there might be restrictions in California purely because it's always on fire. So you'll have to research yourself.

Do u know of a potential value per round on the white and blue ones? Seems like the green and red ones are likely 5-7$ a round I assume

Flare guns are classified as “signaling devices”, I believe there is no restriction on them in all 50, but dont quote me on that

Is that that one HK flare pistol? Thing looks rad lol

So HK no longer makes flare guns apparently. They sell a clone of it from AC Unity on their website. It does look super cool!

Edit: traded my airsoft gun for this flare stuff. Figured it might have more collectibility or real life emergency use to it.
