Do Want

Underbarrel Picatinny mounted flame thrower.  $699 at Classic Firearms.

"But Borepatch," I hear you ask.  "What would you do with this?"

Beats the heck out of me.  Why do people want 600 HP cars?  Why do they want Faberge Eggs?

Alas, it's a lot of denarii for something whose only selling feature is that it's awesome.  Well, or fighting the Alien Ecomorphs ...

This is how it works but in the hand-held version.  It seems that Youtube doesn't like people embedding the videos of the under barrel version.


When I pointed this out to The Queen Of The World, she didn't even give me The Look.  Rather, her whole face said WTF?

Oh, bother.

(Want)

Hahahahaha!
Could be useful for a controlled burn. They do similar on farms...
Just a thought...

Tactical snow and ice removal. Who knew?

Suboptimal for urban home defense. At least in your own home. I guess overpenetration isn't much of a problem, though.

I wonder if you can use the backpack tank with the underbarrel mount. Or if they'll make a version for a pistol rail. Beats the heck out of pistol bayonet.

Great way to get the BBQ up to temp in a hurry.

Now all you need is for your neighbor to build some pillboxes...

That's how they invented the flamethrower. A guy was talking to a friend while drunk and said "I sure would like to set that guy on fire, but he is too far away."
Well, it was the south, his friend was drunk on Natty lights, and was pretty handy with tools.
It would have died there, but the Army heard about it and said, "Build us 1,000 of them and paint 'em green.

'Murica.

Gerry, here in Southwest Florida snow removal likely is a pretty sporadic need.

Peter, yeah, I wouldn't light this off anywhere near my house.

I still want one, though.

They drink Natty Light in the South? I thought that was a Little Rhody beverage.

It's the beer for people who are too hammered to appreciate the subtleties of Bud Light.

Will said...

Wait, what? Bud light has subtleties? Who knew!

Peter B said...

Bud Light is several cuts above the late, occasionally lamented, Buckhorn Beer.

If I order one, does the blond come in a halter top and short shorts to demonstrate it's proper use and care? Cuz' I want one!

"We stand behind our products!" Ya reckon? Me wants one too. for each end of the porch.... and in the mailbox. What a neat device, and the oven lighter is a cool feature, no more flares....
