1. Are there any other manufacturers of 25 mm flare guns other than Orion? If so, can they use the same flares?

2. What countries require visiting yachts (from the US) to register, turn over, and/or put the flare launchers in
a locked cabinet upon entry?

3. Are the Orion '25 mm high perrformance red ariel signals' *parachute* flares? It appears that they are not,
but Orion doesn't seem to be currently selling 25 mm flares - although they used to.

4. Have any of you had any problems with this product (i.e. the 25 MM flare gun)?
