I don't know if they're more waterproof, but Tru Flare has released a new version of their flares - a revolving cartridge holder that can hold three flares. (http://www.tru-flare.com/ scroll to model 07 at the bottom.) This has the advantage of just needing a twist of the rotating head to bring another cartridge into firing position, unlike most single load systems. It's more compact than a pistol type launcher. I don't know how they compare otherwise - I suspect that the pistol flares have more altitude etc. Something to consider.
