* ''FarCry 2'' has a flare gun as a pistol-slot item. It can torch an enemy to death with one flare (if you hit), but it's real use is as a very large supplement to your MolotovCocktail supplies for [[KillItWithFire starting brushfires.]] NPCs under attack will also fire them into the air on occasion to try (and fail) to summon reinforcements.

to:

* ''TeamFortress2'': One of the unlockable weapons the Pyro can get. While hard to aim and easy to dodge, flares will do a small amount of damage to a target and [[KillItWithFire set him on fire]], causing afterburn damage. The bonus comes if you hit an already-burning opponent with a flare, which causes additional damage, and at long ranges, causes a CriticalHit. Needless to say, being killed by failing to dodge a flare at long range while on fire can be [[CherryTapping quite embarrassing]]...

* In an episode of ''TheSimpsons'' Homer, Bart, Ned Flanders and his sons get lost at sea when a Boy Scout trip goes wrong. They see a plane fly by and Flanders produces a flare gun, which Homer (giving the page quote) snatches and fires...and shoots down the plane by accident. D'oh!

* The Flare Gun is the starting weapon of the Salesman class in ''SurvivalCrisisZ'', and can be obtained by everyone else relatively early on. It's a one hit kill on basic zombies, but it's inaccurate and has a ''very'' short range.

* ''JonnyQuest'' episode "The Sea Haunt". Dr. Quest and Race Bannon use Very pistols against the title monster. The writer apparently thought that because they were "pistols" they could [[BottomlessMagazines fire multiple times without reloading like a revolver]]: they're actually single shot.
