Homemade Flamethrower...

[QUOTE]Like any red-blooded, masculine man of the male gender, I love PVC weaponry. You should too. If the concept of heading on down to the local Home Depot and transforming $100 worth of random pipe bits into a killing machine doesn’t appeal to you, you’re a goddamn pansy. Also, you’re probably sane and will live significantly longer than I will. Nonetheless you disgust me, and I take comfort in the knowledge that your obituary will be nowhere near as humorous as mine. For those of you who laugh in the face of hypersonic shards of plastic puncturing your spleen, here’s an intimate look at how I’ve kept myself busy for the past week: building a PVC flamethrower.

    Pah... I guess its no suprise, given my somewhat undeserved reputation but I'be built better..:D

    It's all in getting your air/fuel mix right... too wet/rich and it doesnt travel, too dry and its just a big ball of flame right in front of you without much projection.

    Heaven help the invading power who tries it here.... as it says somewhere on that post...

    "WOLVERINES!"

    (or in my case "KILLER KOALA BEARS!")

    :D:D:D:D

    And don't get me started on my cousins' homemade balistic designs...I remember a cork launcer that spontaneously turned into a flame thrower ;) heh heh heh...

    However I must admit that their flames were more flying fireballs than in 20 foot streaks :eek:

    20 foot fireballs are pretty neat :)

    I would have thought "DINGOS!" in your case there Craeg...

    I'd think the (real) Tasmanian Devil would be more appropriate (anyone who has seen a wolverine or knows what it's like will know why)...:cool:

    You obviously haven't seen a crazed koala. :D
  • An ex-SquidAn ex-Squid Elite Ranger
    True, but can a crazed koala disembowel you in less than a minute?;)
  • MessiahMessiah Failed Experiment
    Have you seen their claws?

    I can think of a person I'd like to use that on right about now.

    gah. :mad:

    heh.. I said nothing about the Koala being totally appropriate, more along the lines of 'funny' than appropriate.

    'Sides which, Koalas, whilst being normally just basically gum leaf eating sloths, turn into nasty little violent shredders if you disturb them or try to catch them. They will claw and bite and fight you with gusto.

    The ones you see in zoos are domesticated, and probably doped to the eyeballs with valium or something similar.

    It's not good PR to have Japanese tourists losing eyes and chunks of ear and litres of blood when trying to cuddle a Koala. ;)

    Not to mention the fact that the photos arn't nearly as good for dinner talk with most of the people back home.

    This applies to stupid Americans who think they can play with wild Raccoons.

    The movies give a friendly and humorous spin on the creatures, but in reality they are very agressive. And those claws could give a velociraptor a run for it's money...

    ;)

    What this has to do with Homemade Flamethrowers I have no idea, but...

    :p

    JackN: You're actually [I]expecting[/I] anything posted to a thread on these boards to have [U]anything[/U] to do with that thread's topic?;) :D

    Messiah: I was thinking more in terms of disposition rather than "hardware"; then again, with the exception of some humans;) , even a Tasmanian Devil isn't quite as mean as a wolverine. They've been known to hold off a full-grown grizzly bear and they will literally rip to shreds anything that has the scent of humans on it (including the inside of a cabin) and urinate all over it (Native Americans don't call 'em "skunk bears" for nothing:D ).
