What is Digg?57 Comments
- jon_k, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2This guy is really stupid -- he should have put a one way rest valve in there which would prevent flame from going uptank if the pressure gets too low in this.
This gun is a recipe for an explosion. The shut off valve is at the very front meaning it will get hot -- to the point he can't touch it to turn off the flame. Now he has a flamethrower he cannot shut off. When the pressure gets too low, the flame travels uptank and explodes.
Very stupid design. This kid obviously didn't consider the safety factors involved in designing a weapon like this. - kfstickman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Meh only useful against zombies and such.
- MacGyver, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Please stop saying "The title says it all!", I've seen that on a few posts lately and its annoying.
- timford, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yeah, well, you can hardly write proper English.
- jesusphreak, on 10/12/2007, -0/+01) That guy looks like your poster geek child.
2) Someone is gonna blow themselves up with that. Having a pack of flammable liquid on your back and fire in your hand is not a good idea for 99% of the world's population. - saysaknow, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This was on digg before. In fact, it was removed from the main page.
- Aooogah, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0How long do you think its going to be before the SS shuts down this site?
- diggscreenname, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The only thing dumber than making your own flamethrower is making a flamethrower and then taking pictures of yourself using it. I hope this guy doesn't act shocked with the @TF busts his front door down.
- albel65, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I like it better when you can make one out of a Super Soaker...

lol, tru that - Computer_Kid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It is a duplicate story, but it was under-digged! Now it has it's glory! Yeah!
- vemon388, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0But with the older story i got goteed!!!!!! Now I'm scard for life :-(
- DrunkenDevil, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That looks so awesome but it seems like a lot of work. I'll just pay a nerd to make me one!
- MacGyver, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0lol, the google ads on this page are for law firms and attorneys.
- mrtrumpets, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Although VERY cool, I'm glad that dude doesn't live in my neighborhood!
- greenlight2001, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Someone is gonna get hurt with this one.
- mushoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0For sure Mrtrumpets. Did you see those last few pictures, he was out in the middle of a circle with his contraption. I would have called the cops on that bastard so fast. Plus his design is retarded, the valve that controls the damn thing is way too close to where the flames shoot out off.
- Computer_Kid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I was wondering, how long will it take to burn down an entire neighborhood? Or what about a forest?
*Not recomended use! - BlackPhantom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0F-ing Amazing! +digg I want to make one of these!
- cawpin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0While that thing is so very cool, posting it on the web is not real smart. Flamethrowers were reclassified a few years ago to destructive devices. They actually used to be classified as air guns. If you wanna make PVC weaponry, as this dork said, stick to potato guns as they are NOT classified as a firearm of any kind by the BATF.
- Swampthing, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Here doggie, doggie.... :)
- kfstickman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yeah I mean what's the point of this? Like I said earlier...only useful against zombies.
I saw a friend do this with bug spray. How dangerous is this? - vertigoblue, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0freaking sweet... i wonder what the neighbors thought of that?
- WorldBuilder, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Why does one need all this crap? A match and hairspray. Done...
Ugh... - Sharky, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Hehe, notice the CNST shirt that he's wearing.
- JamokeMan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I think this was originally posted on SomethingAwful.com I could be wrong though..
- jpenn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Hellllll Noooo....
- hax0r, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0no kidding, you wouldn't want to piss off that geek!! when he comes back and says "I'm gonna torch and burn down your house!" he's not kidding! this is freaking sweet! I love how he uses denatured alcohol, because it's "safe" hehe.. you can pour that stuff on you and light it and it just goes "poof".. you get some singed hair but that's all.. I used to pour it all over my keyboard and hands and light them while I was playing my Wizard in EQ
- lico05, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I'm inviting that guy over for a BBQ
- shamanking, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0awesome
- Capand, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0im building one, only without the flames just as like a super bad ass water gun, it would be so powerful, i'll like figure a way to control the pressure... hehehe
- Huffster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Jeez, the bully that kicks sand in this geeks face is in for big surprise!
- gab_, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0nice, but I wouldn't try this in my neighborhood
- el_jefe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0wow...I have never seen this before. Say did you see that story that the USPS is going to start charging for emails!!!!!
- bullcrap, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0bloody hell i would so build one i hope its legal in UK but who ***** cares, oh and to all the dick heads who think its stupid to play with fire ***** is it i don't bloody care if i blow my self up its fun and reckless!
- Caroline., on 10/12/2007, -0/+0 I used to pour it all over my keyboard and hands and light them while I was playing my Wizard in EQ
-ur cut - Computer_Kid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0a match and hairspray only make a foot long flame. We want a flame that can torch the neighbor's mailbox across the street! LOL
P.S. n3ldan, you are a n00b who cant write in English! - jesusphreak, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0>>> I used to pour it all over my keyboard and hands and light them while I was playing my Wizard in EQ
Wow... - N3LDAN, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0^you're retarded. woo i 3 inch flame thats badass. like every 12 year old kid hanst tried that.
also, your all pretty stupid, the flame will NOT travel back up the lines. 1) notice that the flame doesnt start until AFTER the flame from the blowtorch 2) notice the nipple makes the barrel VERY thin 3) notice the tube is hooked to the bototm of the tank, meaning even with low pressure, the flame won't be able to travel up the line until all the fuel is gone 4) notice that there wouldnt be any oxygen so the flame could NOT travel up the line
i hate digg because its full of kids that think that because they read the story they are an expert on the manner. and I will agree, he is a fool for putting the valve close to flame, but it would never get too hot to turn off.
oh and mushoo, you're a dick, if i saw that guy in teh circle i'd go make friends with him, not call the cops. - ender78, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Gotta love free speach at a time like this :)
- oxxiox, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0judging from the shirt he will die a virgin
also, it's at least a year old - clee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"I think this was originally posted on SomethingAwful.com I could be wrong though.."
You are correct. That is RolandTower.
http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1549400 - Computer_Kid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0anyone built one yet?
- mushoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Hey n3ldan you're wrong I'm not a dick. I'm a pussy, if I see some crazy bastard with a ghetto flamethrower out on the street in front of my house, I'll call the cops and stay as far away from him as possible. You're the dick by telling me that you'd go out to where he was and start rubbing up against him to show him your admiration.
Remember kids, we are what we eat. There is no shame in being a pussy. - tetfsu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0What's the over/under on seeing this guy on CNN either arrested or blown into little bitty pieces. No digg here! :-P Stupidity doesn't deserve a digg.
- traws, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0how many times is this gonna be thrown on here?!
