A large format launcher that is a modified rifle wherein the lower receiver is combined with an upper receiver into a unified receiver and modified to fit large-format flares. It is a single-shot, non-automatic reloading device, slam fire flare launcher device. The gas tube from an unmodified rifle is removed from the upper receiver disabling the bolt carrier group from automatic operation. The gas port is plugged and welded closed which prevents an operational gas tube from being installed on the launcher. The outer tube is pinned with a non-removable hardened pin. A single blank cartridge is fed into the launcher via a ten-round modified magazine. Manual cocking of the charging handle is required between firings.
