Over all, i really like this gun, its cool and unique. but i wanted to throw out some tweaks i thought about while testing it. these are all just my opinion so do with it as you wish i suppose.

1.) Red Flare gun is the only one you can find normally. Meaning the only variant of the flaregun you can find at a fire station or what not is only the red one. so if you want another color you need to find the respective color flare to re-color it.

2.) The ammo crafting change suggested by Gruppenführer Dewa of changing it to "scrap metal (1x) + flare (1x, the color of the flare will affect the color of the projectile) = [color] Flare Round" meaning color of the gun wont affect the color of the projectile. would make road flares more useful besides using them to dye furniture.

3.) Reduced drop rates. For me atleast, i have been finding these more than fire axes at fire stations. Granted i am on Russia on normal, so maybe russia has just a higher drop chance on all of its loot tables. But going off of russia, i was able to find 5 flare guns at the firewatch station on my first run, with 4 more on a revisit. so maybe a small -10% or -20%?

4.) Longer on-ground duration? I don't know how hard this would be to put in, but flares that are shot at the ground instantly start to fizzle out, where ones shot up have that long fall before they hit the ground and go out. about a good 30 second duration difference. I feel that it may be nice to have ones shot at the ground last a little longer? but again, i dont know how well this could be implemented.

5.) Air Drop signal flare. A flare that has a VERY slim chance to drop, and is only dropped by horde beacons, that when loaded and fired triggers an air drop on the map.

6.) Reduction in blast radius? I feel it may be just a leeeeetle too strong when it hits the ground. i think either a blast radius reduction, or a damage reduction may balance it out a bit in my opinion.

Thats sorta it so far, i might think of some other suggestions and feedback as i continue to test it out and post them later. otherwise, this mod is great. the gun has a great, fitting model to the game, its got a nice useful aspect, and easy to maintain. Really would love to see this get into the game officially!
