What is this

[mich]

Pick up a cobray m11/9 with this "Barrel extension". The hole is smaller than a .22 and the red plastics have something inside.
So what is it?

That looks like the flare launcher. It uses blanks to launch thus the small hole.

Here's a Cobray flare launcher that recently sold on GB:

Thats it. Anyone have the manual or place to get the flares?

It is a 37mm Cobray flare launcher for 9mm MAC threads 3/4x10, I come into them from time to time, sold one mint in the box on GB for a little over 300 bucks recently. I initially thought it was supposed to have some kind of firing pin to strike the 37mm primer but came to discover that the pressure from the blank cartridge is enough to punch the primer, the small hole directs all of the blast right into the primer of the 37mm round. There are plenty of companies that manufacture brand new 37mm “ammo” different types of fireworks etc.

You sir are a fount of knowledge and resources. It is sure nice to have you be a participant in our small group of like minded individuals pursuing sometimes trivial diversions.

Yeah, the pressure from a blank cartridge can be under appreciated to a deadly extent. Just do a search for "Jon-Erik Hexum".

It is my pleasure. This hobby is my escape from the mundane trappings of reality 😂

I get to come home from work and assume my alter ego as Mitchell werbells ghost, peddling MAC stuff and educating folks in the history of the little buzz guns.

So what does the red plastic piece do?

So what does the red plastic piece do?

It’s a component of a COBRAY load your own 37mm flare.. it is meant to contain the payload of a flare, then it gets loaded into a 37mm hull. It’s useless on its own as advertised without the other components
