Default Flare launcher?

Hey guys I was thinking about getting a 37 mm flare launcher to have a little fun when I'm bored. I was wondering if the polymer handguard would stand up to it. I would probably get a 26.5 mm adapter because of cost/round.

i hear the golf ball launchers are a hoot--from what i understand they screw on in place of the flash hider and use blanks like a dummy launcher for training dogs--ahhhh yes so many toys to buy and so little time lol

I have absolutely no idea how much recoil a flare has, but I can't imagine that it would be enough to do any damage to your rifle. Let us know how it goes with video!

Hmm i did the hanguard change awhile back to an m4 carbine handguard. I might just buy a cheap 2 peice carbine aluminum quad rail and put that on. I think the polmer handguard would be strong enough i just dont want to put it back on or risk breaking it if i wanted to do so in the future
