Best Answer

Yes, provided the gun does not have a full choke. Cylinder bore (no choke) shotguns are best. A full choke may cause the flare to get stuck.

If the flare gets stuck in the barrel it may melt it, or at the very least dangerously weaken the metal. This may cause the barrel to fail catastrophically when you fire an actual shot round.

Can you use a real 12 gauge shotgun shell in a 12 gauge flare launcher?

Only once. Flare guns are not firearms. They are usually made from weak materials and have thin barrels specifically to prevent such use. They cannot withstand the pressure of a standard shotgun shell. The flare launcher will likely explode. Even if it does not, the recoil from a full power load in such a light launcher is likely to cause injury. Either way, you would be risking serious bodily harm to try it. Depending on local laws, firing real ammunition from a flare gun may also be a crime.
