A Signal Flare is a low velocity projectile launched from Flare Gun. The flare packed with chemicals that burn very brightly, usually to attract attention in an emergency. Flares are designed to emit one of a variety of colors: white, green, red, yellow, purple are the most common. The illuminating flare lasts for approximately 30 seconds and lights up everything in a radius of 50 meters around its location. An illuminating flare may include a parachute to prolong its duration and effect. Some signal flares may have an audible component, typically a whistle or a loud bang, to further attract attention.
The Smoke Flare is the hand-held version.
