Talk:Dragon's breath (ammunition)

message: The article said it was a short range firearm. Logic tells me that for a flame to travel 300 ft, it would be classified as long range-bouncybouncy
The article didn't say 300 feet, it said 30 feet. I would like to see a list of places where the Dragon's Breath is illegal.
When I read the vandalism "Really the only legitimate application for the Dragon's Breath is in the unlikely, albeit plausible scenario of a zombie outbreak." I almost died laughing.  It's so good it should almost be left in.   Sadena 02:42, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Range 

message: I've heard some people say that Dragons's Breath shells damage the shotgun barrel. And then I have heard people say that the flamethrower rounds do not damage the barrel. So I've heard conflicting stories. Can anyone shed some light on this? We could also include this in the article. --SkinnyZan 05:57, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Any round whose purpose is to ignite into flames is going to foul the barrel worse than normal rounds. While it's not truly damaging, it's going to make it extremely dirty, which may lead problems trying to fire normal rounds. EvilCouch 13:51, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Damage to Shotgun? 

message: That last line currently states: "Dragon's breath rounds are banned in many locations due to their inherent danger."Did someone logically conclude that?  All firearms are inherently dangerous, but what specifically makes dragon's breath rounds illegal in some jurisdictions?  And where is it considered illegal...city ordinances or state-wide bans?

replies: text: I'd assume because they're fire hazards. It's relatively difficult to set a range on fire with pellets, slugs or ball ammunition, but pyrotechnic shells would stand a pretty decent chance of catching paper targets and/or dry grass on fire. Mind you, that's just my take on it; I don't have any actual law books to back me up on that theory. EvilCouch 23:59, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: So I guess it should be changed to "due to their inherent fire hazard"?  I'll make the edit, but feel free to fix it.  =)  Jumping cheese Cont@ct 04:56, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Inherent danger 

message: Would it in theory be possible to manufacture a 40mm Dragon's Breath shell to use in a M-79 LAW? Would that have any tactical uses or would it be just as useless as the regular one? Just curious.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.160.44.145 (talk) 12:10, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You're confusing two different weapons. The M72 LAW is a 66mm single-use rocket launcher. The M79 grenade launcher is a 40mm grenade launcher. At any rate, it's theoretically possible to create such a round. The ability to create a burst of flame is still of dubious value on the battlefield, though. As a general rule of combat, if you're pointing a weapon at someone and you squeeze the trigger and your target isn't incapacitated, it was probably a waste. EvilCouch 07:52, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

text: It could be a potent psychological weapon, but there are already thermobaric grenades for the M203 launcher which are probably more effective and terrifying. 74.204.131.214 (talk) 04:37, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  40mm? 

message: Articles claims it's mostly magnesium.  I doubt that, since it's so difficult to light. Consider either a large-grain smokeless powder or this: possibly mixed with mag:  Ferrocerium is a man-made metallic material that gives off a large number of hot sparks at temperatures at 3,000 °F (1,650 °C) when scraped against a rough surface (pyrophoricity), such as ridged steel. Because of this property it is used in many applications, such as clockwork toys, strikers for welding torches, so-called "flint-and-steel" or "flint spark lighter" fire-starters (ferro-rods) in emergency survival kits, and cigarette lighters, as the initial ignition source for the primary fuel.  Pyrophoricity jives with with the legal restriction description.  --68.127.80.89 (talk) 03:11, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Magnesium? 

message: I'm having some trouble finding information on when these were first developed and used. That would probably be something good to add to the article, if someone happens to know it. Jachra (talk) 20:46, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
