  • DeskFlyer, on 07/01/2008, -0/+60Or you can just put alcohol into a Super Soaker and get something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yFUtJhUb7Q

  • ohnoerino, on 06/30/2008, -1/+60Ok, felt a little weird about diggin' a story that promotes geeks playing with fire. However, the pics get effen' HI-larious toward the end, and the "animations" are the ultimate touch. I just hope that kid doesn't kill anyone.
  • imacommi, on 07/01/2008, -7/+53It wouldn't surprise me if mark076h gets arrested by DHS for providing blueprints for terrorist activities... what a sad state this country is in.
  • shutaro, on 07/01/2008, -5/+47Article should be titled: "HOW TO: Set Yourself on Fire".
  • snookky, on 07/02/2008, -2/+41AMERICA, ***** YEAH!
  • casspa, on 06/30/2008, -1/+37Can I put this on my Amazon wish list?
  • mark076h, on 06/30/2008, -2/+37Never seen this version before, very cool
  • Shabow, on 07/01/2008, -3/+27Ok, thats cool, but I want my freaking backburner!
  • Arcticfx, on 07/02/2008, -0/+22How to: prep for the revolution!
  • griz, on 07/02/2008, -1/+22Don't digg this or you too will be implicated for being a sympathizer.
  • Thrilltone, on 07/02/2008, -0/+20This is gonna end well.


    p.s.
    This is safer than using pvc for a high pressure air line.
    When it bursts and shatters, they can't use xrays to find the pieces in you,
    so they just get in there and dig around.
  • inactive, on 07/02/2008, -1/+20I should make a youtube on "how to make an in-ground incendiary sprinkler system" (for self-defense only. Don't fry the avon lady.) -- I guess I won't though, use your imagination: More can be put out those stupid things than just water!!
  • Cheesasaurus, on 07/02/2008, -0/+19In one of the animations he's using the flamethrower in the middle of the street, and that really made me wonder what kind of neighborhood this guy lives in. My neighbors would probably mind, so maybe I should move before I build one of these.
  • inactive, on 07/02/2008, -4/+22And, that guy's got something effective against zombies for when you gotta go get supplies!
  • dignation, on 07/02/2008, -1/+19Just in time for independence day!
  • markperia, on 07/02/2008, -2/+20the real question is why wouldn't you?
  • sexypeon, on 07/02/2008, -0/+17Flamethrowers are actually quite inefficient at killing zombies. Only in certain conditions, consult "The Zombie Survival Guide" for more information.
  • leerayIG88, on 07/02/2008, -1/+17Two days later....kid kills dog with homemade flame thrower.
  • WarZpriTe, on 07/02/2008, -0/+15Warning, explosion imminent!
  • dashdingo, on 07/02/2008, -2/+16TF2 pyro joke here.
  • lordrahl, on 07/02/2008, -0/+12Hey, I built one of these (much bigger gun) about a year and a half ago. splitting image of this one. I could get the sucker to throw fire around 40ft. But to get to the point I got pulled over with the thing in my trunk; and at least here in Maryland its a felony to build, use, or possess anything like this. aka 25 years in the can and 250,000$ fines. luckily the cops let me off the hook and just took the thing off me. but be careful with the po guys.

    PS. if anyone is looking to build one. look into using a paintball co2 tank and a regulator instead of the compressor. that was gonna be my next move before I almost got arrested.

    OH and don't use a supersoaker... please. If you are gonna do it, do it right.
  • BlackJackJester, on 07/02/2008, -1/+13Gotta keep the spy's off your sentries.
  • warispeace21, on 07/01/2008, -2/+14Bonus points for putting the Spaceballs logo on the side.
  • BoneStamp, on 07/02/2008, -0/+12This sounds like a good idea.
  • sfrench, on 07/02/2008, -0/+11Yeah, strapping a PVC tube full of pressurized denatured alcohol to your back doesn't sound like something that will end well.
  • MaxIsBored, on 07/02/2008, -0/+10If i was this boys' dad, i'd be mighty ***** proud.
  • centran, on 07/02/2008, -1/+11How about a George Carlin joke

    "The very existence of flamethrowers proves that sometime, somewhere, someone said to themselves, “You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I’m just not close enough to get the job done.”"
  • burnin8r28, on 07/02/2008, -0/+9"do not try at home" should be changed to "dont sue me"
  • inactive, on 07/02/2008, -0/+9potato gun...........uh oh, did I say that?
  • zerhynn, on 07/02/2008, -1/+10Hudda Hudda Hudda!
  • xptoast, on 07/02/2008, -2/+11Alcohol is more stable in those conditions than gasoline or other fuel types.
  • Vzylexy, on 07/02/2008, -1/+9HADOUKEN
  • lolgamoff, on 07/02/2008, -2/+10That kid's a mushroom cloud laying *****, *****.
  • wizbor, on 07/02/2008, -4/+12Ha, another way to get cats out of trees.
  • juttman, on 07/01/2008, -0/+8Can't wait to see this on break.com
  • bjornorn, on 07/02/2008, -2/+10Now he just needs a shotgun and an axe...
  • inactive, on 07/02/2008, -4/+11that can't be legal.


    HUDDA HUDDA HUDDA!!
  • sprintmarathon, on 07/02/2008, -0/+7Welcome to the Department of Homeland Security's watch list. CIA will be around next week to install your wiretaps.
  • teethandeyes, on 07/02/2008, -0/+7You are so silly. EVERYONE is a potential terrorist.
  • inactive, on 07/02/2008, -0/+7to kill the weeds and ants on the brick part of my deck.
  • diggB, on 07/02/2008, -0/+7Wow, if things go wrong, it could give a whole new meaning to the term "back-fire".
  • migshark, on 07/01/2008, -0/+7If you use a gaseous fuel then you can just stick something in the end of the barrel, light the fuel and have a cannon/grenade launcher too. Homegrown terrorism FTW
  • HeatherH88, on 07/01/2008, -1/+8Better than the old hairspray + a lighter idea... but then, also more time consuming.
  • Lucas123, on 07/02/2008, -1/+8That's great, but what I really want is a homemade bazooka.
  • UnterDenLinden, on 07/02/2008, -0/+7Two days later....kid kills homemade flamethrower with dog.
  • H2Glitch2007, on 07/02/2008, -1/+8psshh... All you need is a can of Off and a lighter.
  • xptoast, on 07/02/2008, -0/+6Just because you can doesn't mean you will. So if you want to design rocket launchers and stuff without the intention of killing people but only to see awesome explosions and fire then rock on. Pyro stuff is fun.
