The picture looks less like someone firing a flare gun and more like someone performing a Coup de GrĂ¢ce head shot with a large handgun. (Yes, I know that's the Pyro using his flare gun, but the problem still stands for those unfamiliar with the game)

Could we get a picture of someone actually shooting a flare gun into the sky?

Kinda like in this article, except clearer.

The suggestion is definitely more illustrative...up until now, I'd always thought the Pyro was just shooting the Scout with a regular gun. Other suggestions: 1, 2, 3

I think 2.1 is the best one of the ones suggested.

2.1 seems good for me.

I kinda prefer the OP/2.2, though I admit that the quality is rather bad.

I like 2.1. Nice clear shot of a flare being fired from a gun, and it's the closest to how the mass media often depicts flare guns (i.e., a sparkly fireball, from my experience)

2.1 is pretty and illustrative. [tup]

Failing something better, my vote also goes to 2.1

Bump; another vote or two for 2.1 and we can fire it off.

I think we have agreement on 2.1, actually.

It's up and tagged and the other images are on the Image Links article; source and caption?

Changed the source. Evidently no caption discussion here, so closing this.
