We had a few boxes of Orion flares at work that expired, I took them home and shot them out of my Marine 870 . They are extremely dirty, I took apart the gun and it cleaned up good.

Good point about them starting fires, they are extremely hot when they land and can start a fire very quickly. The wind will also carry them a long distance.
