Hello jon! Here?s a translation, made by someone ignorant of arms (the Czech connection) and checked by someone else (me) who feels more at home with explosives, but I hope it makes sense anyway. It would be nice to see a picture of the flare, preferrably attached to the rifle. Greetings/GRA 22 pcs flares 40-R-Os Instructions for the use of the flares 1. An automatic rifle without added bayonet is supposed to be used as a support for shooting of flares. 2. For shooting of flares standing or marching the sling of the automatic rifle has to be on the right shoulder. The barrel points straight forward and the gun stock is under the right elbow of the shooter. The chamber points upwards. For the shooting on knees, lying, sitting or from the trench is the sling not on the shoulder, but the gun stock rests on the ground. 3.You take the cartridge into your left hand and hold it at chest level, so that the upper lid points upwards and forward from you. The right hand unscrews and throws away the lid. 4. You put the flare to the barrel and rest it with its bottom end at the front swivel and the left hand?s palm holds the barrel together with the flare. 5. The right hand releases carefully the drawcord together with the ring, which you take into the right hand. 6. Give the automatic rifle together with the flare the direction needed and hold it at an angle of 30 to 35 degrees above the horizon. 7. Pull the cord forcefully and shortly Without changing the position and the angle of the gun with the flare. 8. Throw the tube, which was left in the hand after the release of the flare. IT IS PROHIBITED: a) To unscrew the lid before the preparation of the flaire for shooting. b) To aim the flare towards people, animals and other objects. It is necessary to keep in mind, that the flare is live ammunition and it is needed to be handled as a live gun. NOTE: In case of necessity is it possible to use as a support an other gun, and parts of kit (like carbines, entrenching tools etc.) If the flare has a rubber ring at the end, you do not need to take it off before using the flare.
