	The '''AN/M5 Pyrotechnic Discharger''' was an electrically or pull cord-operated six-shot rotary 37mm flare launcher mounted on larger Army Air Force bombers during the Second World War. The cylinder is indexed by the rotation of a wheel at the rear which also operates the double action hammer: it appears on some AN/M8s this was driven with an electric motor, while on others a rack-and-pinion gear connected to a handle (referred to as a "remote controller") was used.

These devices are fairly rare today since few crews thought to take them home and most were destroyed along with the aircraft they were mounted in.
