How come I never see flamethrowers discussed here? They seem to be cool as fuck. You guys in the US even have commercial flamethrowers. Anyone here owns one?

imagine bringing one to your local indoor fudd range and just torching the target

I wish. There be adipose tissue to ignite.
Austin Garcia
I use a propane flamethrower to burn weeds out of my rocks.
Josiah Perry
Farmers have them. Its really hard to find a place where you can burn things without setting the whole state on fire

>considerable risk to operator
>some designs have poor ignition reliability
>not desirable for home and civil defense due to above factors along with the intense maintenance schedule and possibility of collateral damage and

There was flamethrower user. Made his own flamethrower. But he may have blown him self up. Or the cops arrested him for playing with a flamethrower while a burn ban is in effect.

I've considered buying a Throwflame X2 just to dick wave when people post their bland as fuck gucci AR collections. For $2k it's the most Jow Forums purchase you can make, the only issue is setting up a range where you can effectively use it. Still, the anons in the southeast that have access to private property could probably clear a muddy field of any real concerns and set some clothed mannequins on fire without too much risk.

>a plastic fucking handle on a flamethrower
when will this meme material cease to exist?

Just go to a local gravel pit

These guys run for $2G on ebay/gunbroker now, it's laughable. I mean, it was a neat fundraising idea from Elon's team but the idea that anyone would buy a propane tosser for three times the original MSRP when there are literal napalm launchers around for $900 is crazy to me.
Jason Rodriguez
I know you guys won't believe me, but this is mine.
Daniel Rogers
>here are literal napalm launchers around for $900
There are...?
Noah Jones
Literally all you would have to do is timestamp it.
Brody Edwards
For the record I ordered it for $500 the first day they went on sale and gave another $30 for the fire extinguisher.
Christian Adams
Post a timestamp with you burning shit, not because I don't believe you but because it would be fucking awesome
Phil, I've told you this before and I'm really not trying to be an asshole. The internet is your friend.

The X2 by throwflame is better, 50 feet for the X2 vs. 25 feet for the xm42, but on the flipside the Xm42 could probably be mounted under an AR-15 with limited headache. Legal in 49 states, legal with license in California (honestly this is probably the only sensible arms control law in that state given the fact that it's 99% fuel by volume)
Aaron Davis
... aaand that's the problem, I cant timestamp it to prove it right now because my buddy bought a cnc wood engraver and has the flamethrower at his house so he can make a nice wall display placard for it. He just picked it up a few days ago. I know, no reason to believe me so oh well.
Jose Butler
That seems like a reasonably legitimate reason tbf.
Benjamin Davis
All these commercial flamethrowers are dumb and ineffective. All their designers failed to realize that a flamethrower is supposed to throw flaming fuel all over the target, not just make pretty fireballs. The throwflame one is the most reasonable of the bunch, but even it pales in comparison to a proper military grade thrower.
Carter Rivera
I had a genius idea boys, time stamped the cat! Excuse the treat remnants on her lips that I had to bribe her with to get the pic
Nathaniel Watson
Son of a bitch.
Joshua Collins
I'm going to let this slide on the basis that I fucking love kitties. It's seriously half the reason I pay for internet.
Alexander Wood
You can put thickening agent in the throwflame X2 apparently, that's why I consider it the best of the commercial bunch.
Gabriel Smith
People have posted more rarer/expensive shit on here, have you got to shoot it yet? cute cat too.
Jaxon Rogers
Is the cat safe when atf comes for your flamethrower? Reminder that flamethrowers are evil because they are like mobile ovens. Think of the 6.5 million.
Jordan Jones
Thanks komrads, and yes I actually lit it for the first time in my living room. It's just a glorified weed burning torch that shoots bursts a few feet, but fun to show off
Angel Adams
Xl18 bra, that’s the ticket. Can’t wait to buy one
Jose Price
Best of the commercial would be the forestry models.
The throwflame models are horribly overpriced and poorly designed.
Juan Wright
>It's just a glorified weed burning torch
I see it as a sweet way to light bon fires.
Parker Ramirez
Yeah, I mean I don't think that anyone that knows a thing about flamethrowers expected much from a supersoaker with a propane hook-up, but it is a neat piece of collectible memorabilia. Also, cute cat. How old/what's his name. I will accept cat anonymity based on persec reasons. Here's my gato.
Jack Jenkins
Are these the Elon Musk ones?
Nolan Russell
No RaPiD FiRe
Julian Young
I like to think so, they are only known to cap doggos as far as I know.
That is Tonks (named after the character in Harry Potter, my ex named her), she's going on 6 this summer. Found her as a stray kitten when she was about 2 months old and took her in.
Yessir they are.
Josiah Campbell
GET D
Jeremiah Bell
"we only knew it was a matter of time before he got his hands on one" - my friends and family.
but how bitchin would it be to have a real life napalm tossing device ? yeah you cant do shit, but its a fucking flamethrower.
Dominic Edwards
TONKS A CUTE! CUTE!
Connor Campbell
Still not dead yet senpai
Justin Gonzalez
hook it up to a larger propane tank. Great for lighting fires and BBQs.
Carson Barnes
>i don't actually have it, it's at my friend's house
so your friend was stupid enough to buy this thing and you're just jealous?
Joseph Watson
Why not just build your own for under $100?
Andrew Peterson
Don't these have pitiful range?
Xavier Brown
Where are you finding those listings for napalm jets at those prices? Are they even in functional condition?
Christopher Roberts
Most commercial throwers are used for burning weeds and shit, so it's fine if they just blow a plume of fire. Probably safer for the average user that way.
Dominic Parker
Benjamin Davis
Flamethrowers aren't really weapons so much as they're sanitation tools. They're like janitor of weapons.
Jason Ross
yup, same cat, it all checks out
Henry Russell
Ahem.
Fuck blackwater, fuck flamethrowerers.
