The Flare Gun is a handgun in GTA 5 and GTA Online, sold at Ammu-Nation for $3,750. Its datamined figures are 10 damage, a fire rate of about 143 rounds per minute, a range figure of 120 and a clip of 1, among the lowest damage figures of any handgun here. It is not built to kill. A flare burns and lights up the area it lands in, which makes it more useful for signaling, lighting a dark spot or setting something flammable alight than for fighting. Against a player or NPC it barely registers next to a Pistol or Combat Pistol, so treat it as a novelty and situational tool rather than a serious weapon. The single round clip means every shot needs a reload before the next one. It has no Mk II version. Keep one in a back slot for the odd mission that calls for a signal or a fire starter rather than counting on it in a real gunfight.
Buy it from any Ammu-Nation for $3,750.
