A popular YouTube channel called “The King of Random” has released a homemade project video where they make a compact flamethrower out of a fire extinguisher. Isn’t that the definition of irony? This flamethrower is incredibly cool by itself. But [Read More…]
Al Stahler creates these fireball throwing devices. I guess you could call it a gun. He uses propane and MAP gas as ammo. There are no actual projectiles other than the ball of fire and the movement of air. It looks really cool though seeing the small ball of fire [Read More…]
Being of the boomer generation I’ve had a keen interest in tanks, artillery and infantry weapons of WWII for many a year. Several weeks ago I received an invitation from DriveTanks.Com to come down and visit and get a real immersive experience in all of those WWII [Read More…]
What’s the coolest firearm you’ve ever shot? A fine, antique shotgun? An old war horse oozing with history? A rapid-firing machine gun? Whatever you’re thinking of, it’s not as cool as an M2 Flamethrower: In what is probably definitely the [Read More…]
