Flares, propellents, and primers all contian oxidizers, chemicals which lend their Oxygen atoms to a reaction, so despite the fact that the moon has no atmosphere, a flare gun would still function chemically. the extreme cold will cause the materials it is constructed from to contract and becase different materials have different coefficients of thermal expansion, parts of the flare gun will contract at different rates and may causes the gun's moving parts to bind.
