flaregun
Emergency light shooter
A flaregun is a handheld device that fires bright pyrotechnic projectiles into the sky, used primarily for signaling distress or location in emergencies at sea or in remote areas.
The flare produces intense light visible from great distances, helping rescuers locate those in need.
Flareguns may also be used for illumination or to scare off wildlife.
In video games, flareguns often appear as signaling tools or improvised weapons.
