That's actually what I settled on. But now (after watching a slasher movie), I have another question: what kind of damage would flares, star signals, smoke rounds etc do if fired directly at an enemy soldier? I imagine accuracy would suck (especially with the standard tubular hand-held signals), but would it all be blunt trauma, or would it penetrate the body? Any chance of setting the victim on fire? If the flare or star does penetrate the body, what if it ignites inside the body? Could you really pull a trick like the one they used to destroy an Iraqi tank in the movie
Courage Under Fire?
