"It's not a question of affording the weaponry, it's the legality of possessing them in most countries where you must stop over. Declaring an M1A or an AR-10 is on a level with declaring ten pounds of C-4 or heroin. BIG problems!"

12 gauge flare guns can shoot .38 cal without becoming a legal problem in host ports.

Peace of Mind for you and Your Family
The Pirates Plague adapter will allow the capability of firing a .38 caliber pistol bullet from a standard plastic 12 gauge flare gun. It was created by an offshore delivery captain as a discrete no hassle solution to carrying a weapon on board. The adapter is not a firearm, it is legal to possess all over the world. This is the indispensable survival tool for hunting, fishing, or self-defense and is a must for every ditch bag or life raft. Test results on the 6061 aluminum adapter indicated the Anodize treated surface withstood corrosion in a five percent salt spray test for 336 Hours.

I'll look into these, but my memory is that past inventions which adapted flare guns to fire ammo have been shut down by the BATFE.

Interesting toy. But I'd prefer mine in 454 Casull.
