I can see some idiots getting injured with this new "toy". Also,it looks more like a propane torch.
I think it is essentially a propane torch otherwise it would legally be a weapon in almost every civilised country. I'm pretty sure you're not allowed proper flame throwers in the UK or most of the US.Quote:

I wish I had a license to print money like Elon does... Still got to love the Tesla's...
I'd still rather have an M240 Incinerator:

As a young (and very silly) teenager I used to enjoy spraying deodorant into an empty 2 or 3 litre plastic bottle, I would then light the top and squeeze the bottle (away from my face) and hey presto, big flames! I stopped doing this when one day a bottle I was using had a small hole in the bottom that I was unaware of, as soon as I lit the top it turned into a Bunsen burner on full power and melted half of my thumb! Ah I can still remember the agony and having to sleep with my thumb in a cup of cold water all night, good times, good times.Quote:

Lol. I found Right Guard was always the best. We'd roped an old fuel drum to a tree for target practice to throw rocks at. One day, I decided to spray it full of RG (took the whole can) and light it. As it ignited, the force caused it to swing on the rope, and all I saw was the flames gushing towards my head. Escaped with zero injury. My mates didn't see it, but came rushing as they'd heard the almighty boom.Quote:

I got annoyed at the government using their budget for pro-Brexit arguments. I may have shot the leaflet many times on full auto and then set fire to it with magnesium ribbon. I also stained my garage floor after the magnesium (which took a blow torch to get going, grrr) wouldn't go out and I had to use the fire extinguisher.
I am not a normal person.
At least you know that; and knowing is half the battle ;)Quote:

Easy-start! Comes with a spray nozzle, and is more burny than hairspray (probably)
