Default Ridiculous Question
I got in an argument at work with a guy today:

We were discussing what would happen if you shot a Lit Road Flare with a shotgun (Target Load). Would it ignite and make a burst of red flame or would it do nothing at all.

Thoughts? Ammunition for my argument?

Make certain it's your friend who's holding the flare...

If you really had guts, your buddy would set the flare on his head to test the theories!
