For sale are 3 brand new, sealed in the spam tube and live (NOT INERT DISPLAY) U.S. military M195 Green illumination/signal tube launched rocket propelled parachute flares!!! It is insanely hard to find these LIVE in public hands and they are very collectable! In sealed Vietnam era spam cans dated xxxx!!! Everybody I have talked to said that as long as the tubes are kept sealed they should perform flawlessly if you ever decided to use them!!
These are issued in a waterproof shipping tube (Vietnam-era was a metal tube with a sardine can opener) inside of which is an expendable launcher,which consists of a launching tube and a firing cap.
To operate, you hold the signal in your left hand with the red-knurled band down, holding your little finger in alignment with the red band. Remove the firing cap from the upper end of the signal. Point the ejection end of the signal away from the body and slowly push the firing cap onto the signal until the open end of the cap is aligned with the red band. It is now ready to fire. Grasp the center of the signal firmly with your left hand, holding your elbow tight against the body with the signal at the desired trajectory angle and the firing cap at the bottom. Turn your head down and away from the signal to avoid injuries to your face and eyes from particles ejected by the small rocket. Strike the bottom of the cap a sharp blow with the palm of your right hand, keeping the left arm rigid.
IMPORTANT: Before firing the signal, you MUST must make sure you have overhead clearance. Having a burning, blinding projectile bouncing back in your face from a chance encounter with a tree limb is not the best way to survive in combat.
This is how it works: When the firing cap is struck, the firing pin is forced into the base of the launcher tube at the primer. When the primer is struck, the flash from the primer ignites an initiating charge of black powder at the base of the signal. Gases from the burning initiating charge expel the signal from the launcher tube (rocket barrel) with a slight recoil. As the signal is expelled, four flexible steel fins unfold to stabilize the signal during flight. After the signal rises approximately 6 meters, the rocket motor, which was ignited by the propelling gases, begins to burn fully, forcing the signal to a height of 200 to 215 meters (650 to 700 feet). At that point, a delay element ignites an ejecting charge, which in turn forces the Star Parachute out of the nose of the signal body. It burns for 30 seconds at an intensity of 5,000 candlepower as it parachutes to the ground. The signal can be seen for 50 to 58 kilometers (30 to 35 miles) at night.
Star parachutes are also used for signaling and illuminating. They are issued in an expendable launcher that consists of a launching tube and a firing cap. These signals produce a single parachute suspended illuminant star. The current types of star parachutes include the M126A1, red star parachute; the M127A1, white star parachute; and the M195, green star parachute.
