Safety Tips for Handling Firearms and 37mm Launchers
[ExoticAmmo’s 37mm Launcher] “Is the best gun accessory I’ve ever bought!” – happy customer
NOTE: 37mm launchers are not firearms – 37mm launchers are considered “signaling devices”. However, it is strongly advised that all of the same precautions one would take with a firearm should taken with a 37mm launcher. Therefore, for the purposes of this article, we at ExoticAmmo have included 37mm launchers in a discussion about general gun / firearm safety (further, underbarrel launchers are typically mounted on AR type weapons anyway).
When it comes to the adrenaline rush of shooting sports—especially lighting up the range with a 37mm flare launcher—safety isn’t just important, it’s the first rule of engagement. Whether you’re firing for fun, training for precision, or gearing up for a tactical scenario, understanding how to handle your gear safely is mission-critical. This guide zeroes in on key safety tips for managing firearms and 37mm launchers (for information about safety on the water, click here).
At ExoticAmmo, we know that the real excitement comes from mastering your craft with dependable, high-performance gear. Our passion for shooting sports is fueled by the same thing that drives you—the thrill of precision, the craftsmanship of top-tier launchers, and the satisfaction of knowing your equipment won’t let you down. As the trusted authority in 37mm launchers, rounds, and tactical accessories, ExoticAmmo doesn’t just supply the tools—you get the expertise, the discipline, and a firm reminder that safety always comes before the shot.
This all-in-one guide breaks down the essentials of safe handling, operation, and maintenance for both firearms and 37mm launchers, rounds, and accessories. Whether you’re a veteran shooter or a newcomer just stepping into the action, it’s time to lock in, stay sharp, and shoot smart.
Types of 37mm Launchers
Suit up — let’s do a quick gear brief on 37mm launchers.
37mm launchers come in two primary chassis: underbarrel (mounted beneath a host firearm) and topbreak (hinges open at the top for loading). Whatever the frame, they share the same core hardware that keeps them mission-ready:
-
Barrel — where the round seats and exits.
-
Trigger mechanism — the action you pull to send the payload.
-
Loading mechanism — how you feed rounds (break-open, chamber, etc.).
-
Accessories — sights, rails, and other mission-specific add-ons that help you aim and configure the launcher.
Know your parts, know your drill. That understanding makes maintenance easier and handling safer.
ExoticAmmo’s 37mm launchers include a firearm-style safety that physically blocks the trigger or firing pin when engaged — think of it as the mechanical “stop” that prevents an accidental discharge. Locating and practicing the safety’s operation until it’s second nature is non-negotiable for responsible users.
A few legal and practical realities to lock in: under federal law 37mm launchers are treated as signaling devices (not firearms) — so owning the launcher itself generally doesn’t require a license. They’re intended for non-lethal payloads like flares and smoke. That said, not all ammunition is allowed: explosive, armor-piercing, or otherwise prohibited rounds are off-limits, and some payload types may be regulated differently. Local and state laws can vary, so always check and comply with applicable regulations before you buy or fire.
Bottom line: 37mm launchers are straightforward tools — learn the parts, use the safety, choose legal ammo, and respect the rules. Operate smart, train regularly, and keep it safe.
The Different Types of Firearms
Think of firearms like squad roles — two big teams: handguns (the short-range operators) and long guns (the long-range specialists). Handguns — revolvers and pistols — are built to be run with one hand: compact, quick, and ideal for close engagements. Long guns — rifles and shotguns — are shoulder-fired, more stable, and built for accuracy and reach.
Breakdown and tactics:
-
Handguns
-
Revolvers: simple, reliable — a rotating cylinder holds the rounds. Low fuss, high dependability.
-
Semi-automatic pistols: feed from a magazine and cycle automatically after each shot — faster follow-ups, more capacity.
-
-
Long guns
-
Bolt-action rifles: you manually cycle the bolt between shots — slow but rock-solid precision.
-
Semi-automatic rifles: they automatically chamber the next round — great for quick follow-ups at range.
-
Pump-action shotguns: slide the forend (pump) to cycle shells — versatile and rugged for many missions.
-
Every platform comes with its own drillbook: handling protocols, safety checks, and maintenance routines. Safeties vary — think manual safeties, grip safeties on some pistols, internal trigger blocks on modern rifles — and knowing which ones your kit has is mission-critical. Routine maintenance (cleaning, lubrication, inspection) keeps your system reliable; ignore it and you’ll be troubleshooting in the worst possible moment.
Bottom line: learn the anatomy and safety features of each type, run the right drills, and treat every firearm like the tool it is — respected, practiced with, and always handled with the four cardinal rules of safe operation.
Fundamental Safety Measures for Firearms and 37mm Launchers
Safety is mission-critical — treat it like your primary objective. Follow these basics like your life depends on them — because it might.
The Four Cardinal Rules (fast and fatal)
-
Treat every weapon as loaded.
Assume it’s live until you personally verify otherwise. This mindset keeps complacency off the checklist. -
Never point the muzzle at anything you’re not willing to destroy.
Muzzle discipline is simple: where it points matters more than anything else. Always control that arc. -
Keep your finger off the trigger until you intend to shoot.
Finger indexed along the frame = control. Only close that gap when sights, decision, and safety check line up. -
Know your target — and what’s behind it.
Every round travels farther than you think. Identify the target, the backdrop, and potential collateral paths.
Why these matter: they cover cause (treating a weapon as live), control (muzzle discipline), human error (trigger finger), and consequence (target awareness). Apply them the same whether you’re handling a handgun, rifle, or a 37mm launcher — both can hurt if treated casually.
Tactical tips to lock the habit: run dry-fire drills, make safety checks routine, call out safeties and clearances aloud, and inspect gear before and after use. Train consistently, respect the tool, and keep your team — and yourself — in one piece.
Proper Handling and Storage of Firearms and 37mm Launchers
Secure storage is paramount to preventing unauthorized access to firearms as well as 37mm launchers. Utilizing gun safes, locks, and storing ammunition separately can mitigate risks significantly. Always ensure that your firearms and launchers are unloaded when not in use, further emphasizing secure storage practices. When selecting storage solutions, consider options that offer both security and protection from environmental factors. For instance, a quality gun safe should not only be difficult to break into but also provide protection against fire and moisture. Climate-controlled storage is particularly important in preventing rust and other forms of degradation that can affect the reliability and safety of your firearms and launchers. In areas with high humidity, using dehumidifiers or moisture-absorbing products inside gun safes can help preserve the integrity of your equipment. It’s also crucial to be aware of legal requirements for firearm storage, which can vary significantly between jurisdictions.
Importance of Wearing Hearing and Eye Protection and Proper Clothes
Hearing and eye protection are non-negotiable when handling firearms and 37mm launchers. The loud noise of a gunshot can cause permanent hearing damage, while debris and gas can injure the eyes. Passive earmuffs or earplugs reduce noise levels, while electronic hearing protection can amplify ambient sounds while still protecting against harmful noise levels. It’s important to choose hearing protection with an appropriate Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) for the type of firearm or launcher being used. Eye protection should meet or exceed ANSI Z87.1 standards for impact resistance. Wrap-around styles offer the best protection against debris coming from the sides. Both hearing and eye protection should be regularly inspected for damage and replaced as needed to ensure continued effectiveness. Proper clothing for shooting activities includes long sleeves and pants to protect against hot brass and debris. Closed-toe shoes are essential, and many experienced shooters prefer boots for added ankle support. Remember, the goal is to create a safe, comfortable shooting experience that allows you to focus on proper technique and accuracy.
Importance of Proper Stance, Aim, and Handling of the Recoil
A proper stance stabilizes the body and helps manage recoil effectively. Ensuring that the firearm or launcher is aimed correctly, with a clear sight on the target, minimizes the risk of accidents. Being prepared for and correctly handling the recoil prevents loss of control and potential injury. Maintaining a slight forward lean helps absorb recoil and maintain balance. Proper aim involves more than just aligning sights; it also requires good breath control. The general technique is to take a deep breath, exhale halfway, and then hold your breath momentarily while squeezing the trigger. This helps minimize body movement during the critical moment of firing. When it comes to managing recoil, the key is to maintain a firm grip and allow your body to absorb the force rather than fighting against it. For firearms with significant recoil, such as large-caliber rifles or shotguns, pulling the stock firmly into your shoulder pocket can help distribute the force. With 37mm launchers, which often have less recoil than traditional firearms, maintaining a steady stance and grip is still crucial for accuracy and safety. Practice with different types of firearms and launchers will help you develop the muscle memory and techniques necessary for effective recoil management.
Stun device safety and handling
Stun devices should be handled with caution and responsibility to ensure safety. Always treat them as active and ready to discharge, keeping fingers off the trigger until necessary. Store stun guns and tasers in a secure, inaccessible place when not in use, especially away from children. Before carrying or using a stun device, familiarize yourself with local laws and regulations. When using one for self-defense, aim for large muscle groups and avoid prolonged contact to minimize risk. Regular maintenance, such as checking battery levels and functionality, is essential for reliability. Never use stun devices recklessly or in non-threatening situations, as misuse can lead to legal consequences and unintended harm.
Advanced Safety Measures for Firearms and 37mm Launchers
Building upon the fundamental safety measures, let’s explore more advanced safety considerations that take into account various usage scenarios and legal aspects. These advanced measures are crucial for ensuring comprehensive safety in different environments and situations where firearms and 37mm launchers might be used.
Considerations for Shooting Ranges and Hunting Environments
When at a shooting range or hunting, always be aware of your surroundings and follow the specific rules of the range or hunting area. Wear appropriate safety gear, communicate intentions with others, and maintain a clear awareness of the safe firing zones. These precautions help prevent accidents and ensure a safe experience for everyone involved. At shooting ranges, it’s crucial to understand and follow the specific range rules, which often go beyond basic firearm safety. Common range rules include keeping firearms unloaded and actions open when not on the firing line, using only authorized targets, and ceasing fire immediately when a cease-fire is called. Many ranges have specific procedures for declaring a firearm malfunction or for retrieving targets. Always listen to and follow the instructions of range officers, who are responsible for maintaining safety on the range. In hunting environments, additional safety considerations come into play. Wearing high-visibility clothing (often mandated by law) helps prevent hunting accidents. Be aware of your surroundings and potential locations of other hunters. Always positively identify your target and what’s beyond it before taking a shot. Many hunting accidents occur during firearm transportation, so be extra cautious when moving through rough terrain or entering and exiting vehicles. Both shooting ranges and hunting areas often have local regulations that must be followed. These may include restrictions on certain types of ammunition, specific hunting seasons and bag limits, or requirements for hunting licenses and safety courses.
Navigating Legal Boundaries and Regulations
Understanding the legal frameworks that govern the ownership, use, and transport of firearms and 37mm launchers is fundamental. This includes familiarizing yourself with the national firearms act, federal firearms license requirements, and any state-specific regulations. Compliance with these laws not only ensures legal protection but also fosters responsible ownership. The landscape of firearm regulations is complex and constantly evolving. At the federal level, the National Firearms Act (NFA) regulates certain types of firearms and devices, including short-barreled rifles, suppressors, and some types of launchers. The Gun Control Act (GCA) sets the framework for federal firearm regulation, including licensing of manufacturers, dealers, and importers. State laws can be even more restrictive and varied. For example, some states have assault weapon bans, limitations on magazine capacity, or require permits for purchasing firearms. It’s crucial to stay informed about changes in these laws, as they can impact what you can own, how you can use it, and where you can transport it.
For 37mm launchers, the legal landscape can be particularly nuanced. While often not classified as firearms, their use and the type of ammunition they can fire may still be regulated. Understanding the distinction between signaling devices and firearms is crucial for legal compliance. Non-compliance with firearms and launcher regulations can have severe consequences, including fines, loss of firearm rights, and even imprisonment. Regular attendance at firearm law seminars, membership in reputable firearms organizations, and consultation with legal experts specializing in firearm law can help you stay informed and compliant.
Remember though, 37mm is not to be confused – legally – with other accessories such as civilian flamethrowers, however, safety procedures remain the same!
Special Safety Measures for 37mm Launchers
Specific safety precautions for 37mm launchers ensure their secure and enjoyable use.
Take Precautions While Loading a 37mm Round
When loading a 37mm launcher, always ensure the safety is engaged and the launcher is pointed in a safe direction. Handling the rounds carefully to prevent accidental discharge is crucial. Understand the type of round being used—be it a flare, smoke, or bean bag—and follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for loading and firing. The process of loading a 37mm launcher requires attention to detail and strict adherence to safety protocols. Before loading, always inspect both the launcher and the round for any signs of damage or wear. Check the barrel for obstructions and ensure the firing pin and ejector are in good condition. When handling 37mm rounds, be aware of their orientation; many rounds are designed to be loaded in a specific direction for proper function and safety. Always keep the round’s primer end away from the firing pin until you’re ready to close the action. For topbreak launchers, keep your fingers clear of the hinge point when closing to avoid pinching. Different types of 37mm rounds may have specific handling requirements. For instance, smoke rounds should be handled carefully to avoid damaging the casing, which could lead to premature ignition. Flare rounds often have specific safety caps that should only be removed just before loading. When loading less-lethal rounds like bean bags or rubber balls, be extra cautious as these can cause injury even at close range if mishandled.
Dealing with Misfire or Hangfire in 37mm Launchers
In the event of a misfire or hangfire, maintain the launcher pointed in a safe direction for at least 30 seconds. This precautionary measure decreases the risk of accidental discharge. A misfire occurs when the primer fails to ignite the propellant, resulting in no discharge. A hangfire is a delayed ignition of the round, which can be particularly dangerous as the round may fire unexpectedly after a short delay. In both cases, the initial response should be the same: keep the launcher pointed in a safe direction and wait at least 30 seconds. For a suspected misfire, after the waiting period, carefully open the action while keeping the launcher pointed in a safe direction. Inspect the primer to see if it’s been struck by the firing pin. If it has, and the round didn’t fire, it’s likely a dud and should be disposed of according to proper procedures. If the primer wasn’t struck, check the firing pin and mechanism for any issues. For a hangfire, the procedure is similar, but extra caution is needed as the round could still discharge. After waiting, very carefully open the action, keeping the launcher pointed downrange. Remove the round and dispose of it properly – it should never be reused. Always err on the side of caution and seek expert assistance if you’re unsure about how to handle a malfunction safely.
Safe Distance in the Case of Using 37mm Launchers
Always be aware of the effective range of the 37mm rounds being used and ensure a safe distance is maintained from the target area. Especially when using rounds designed for specific effects like smoke or dispersing bean bags, understanding the impact area is crucial for safety. The safe distance for using a 37mm launcher can vary significantly depending on the type of round being used. For instance, signal flares may have a much greater range than smoke rounds, while less-lethal rounds like bean bags or rubber balls have shorter effective ranges but require careful consideration of their impact. When using flare rounds, be aware that they can travel significant distances and may pose fire hazards. A general rule is to have a clear area of at least 100 meters in the direction of fire, with no flammable materials or structures in the vicinity. For smoke rounds, consider not only the initial deployment area but also how the smoke will disperse. Wind conditions can significantly affect the spread of smoke, potentially creating visibility hazards over a large area. Less-lethal rounds require particular caution. While their range may be shorter, their potential for injury at close distances is significant. Most manufacturers recommend a minimum engagement distance of 5-10 meters for these types of rounds. Environmental factors play a crucial role in determining safe distances. Wind speed and direction can affect the trajectory of launched rounds, especially lighter ones like smoke or flare rounds. Elevation changes in the target area can also impact where rounds land or how they disperse. Always factor in these environmental conditions when determining safe firing distances and directions. It’s also important to consider what’s beyond your target area.
Different Types of 37mm Flare Launchers: Topbreak and Underbarrel
While the basic launching mechanism remains similar, flare launchers come in different designs to suit various needs and applications. Two common types are:
- Topbreak Launchers: These standalone units are designed for quick reloads and ease of use, making them ideal for emergency situations where every second counts or recreation.
- Underbarrel Launchers: These are attached directly to an existing firearm, allowing for versatility in use. They are preferred by those who wish to have the added security of a conventional gun while still being able to launch flares as needed.
Pros and Cons of Different Types
- Topbreak Launchers: Pros include ease of use and fast reloading. They are typically lighter and more compact, making them ideal for inclusion in emergency kits or for carrying during outdoor activities. The simple design often results in greater reliability and easier maintenance. However, the main con is that they are single-purpose devices, which may be a limitation in some scenarios. They also tend to have a shorter barrel length, which can affect the maximum height and range of the flare.
- Underbarrel Launchers: Pros include versatility and the ability to have two functionalities in one device. This is particularly useful in military or law enforcement applications where both conventional firearms and signaling capabilities may be needed. They also tend to have longer barrels, potentially increasing the range and altitude of launched flares. The main con is the added weight and complexity it brings to the firearm, which can affect handling and require additional training. Maintenance can also be more complex due to the integration with another weapon system. Additionally, the dual-purpose nature of these devices may make them subject to stricter regulations in some jurisdictions.

Legalities – Anyone Can Own 37mm!
37mm launchers are exempt from the National Firearms Act of 1934 and do not need to be registered with the ATF. This remains the case as long as it is not being used as a “destructive device”. Rounds considered to be “destructive” would be wood pellets, bean bag rounds, or other anti-personnel rounds. If a user would like to use a launcher in this capacity, the launcher would need to be registered with the ATF and a serial number (ATF provided) engraved on the side (this is not a difficult process).
37mm, as a signaling device, was originally used for military purposes back in World War 2. 37mm in a weapon capacity, was used as far back as World War 1. Our focus will be on its signaling capabilities.
At the moment, each 37mm can NOT contain more than 109 grains of gunpowder. Exceeding this amount requires licensing and is generally reserved for less-lethal or anti-personnel rounds and will likely mean that the round will be considered a “destructive device”. Meaning, the lift charge and the secondary charge (the payload) can not be over 109 grains of gunpowder total.
More information can be found in this ExoticAmmo YouTube video: here
40mm – In the United States, 40 mm barrels are classified as “destructive devices” under the National Firearms Act (NFA) because they are a “non-sporting” firearm with a bore greater than one-half inch in diameter. Meaning, 40mm is considered “anti-personnel” and owning one means you must follow the guidelines set forth by the ATF.
Wrapping up legalities: when it comes to owning a 37mm launchers, federal laws are quite specific. Firstly, the ATF categorizes these launchers as signaling devices when used with flare rounds, making 37mm legal for civilian ownership without the need for a special license. However, if a launcher is used with anti-personnel rounds (for example bean bag rounds, wood pellets, etc), it is then classified as a destructive device, necessitating an ATF permit. Ownership, if used as a destructive device, requires adherence to the National Firearms Act (NFA) and background checks.
Important to note is the distinction between signaling rounds and anti-personnel rounds; only signaling rounds, such as flares and smoke, are covered under the “signaling device” exemption.
