How do flare guns work?

A flared gun works in the same way as any conventional firearms have a significant difference: it must ignite its projectile and raise it high into the sky. Typically credited to Edward Way, the first gun that could flare, was tested back in 1882 by the American Navy. When the trigger of a flared gun is pulled, a chain of events begins. First, the flare propellant is ignited as the gun hammer hits the detonator cap. The signal is then pushed out of the barrel of the gun via deflection regression, a subsonic combustion process, where pressure is produced by rapid burning of gases in a small space. It takes less time to ignite the propellant which is also sufficient to ignite. These items burn so brightly because they contain magnesium, an element also used in firevert. Other chemical additives can produce different colors. In some cases, the flare will also have an in-built parachute (usually for military use) that prolongs its collapse on Earth and extends the average 40-second period that a flare would typically burn brightly.
