The old WWII style flamethrower is legal to purchase and own in the US. It is not considered a firearm or destructive device.

Farmers use them to ignite controlled burns of fields and brush.

I question the validity of saying flamethrowers are legal. Just because there's no law directly on point saying an object that spews fire is illegal, doesn't mean it doesn't fall under general catagories of dangerous weapons/substances.

On the other hand, i really don't know one way or another, but saying "it's legal because there's no law that says 'no flamerthrowers'!" is disengenuous.

Dunno...

Flamethrowers are pretty hideous weapons.

Too bad one guy built a tank out of a bulldozer and terrorized a town with it. Or else...home made tank + Flamethrowers = Epic Win.

The ATF does not consider them to be a weapon that they regulate.

They are perfectly legal to own and operate with very little restriction in most parts of the US.

They require no licensing. No background check.

There are already laws against arson and murder.

Or, you know, you could just make a flamethrower with a can of starter fluid and a small wood fire.

I'd rather have a mud thrower. It's remarkably difficult to cover something with mud from a reasonable distance.

Dig a hole, and place a 44 Imperial gallon drum at a 45 degree angle in the hole.

Pack some dirt back in to secure the drum in place.

The drum should be empty, and one end open.

Place a 1 kilo charge of C-4 in the bottom of the drum, allowing the primacord to exit the drum to the firing point.

Line the drum with several layers of plastic bag, and then fill the drum with wet sloppy mud.

On detonation, the charge should lift neatly out of the drum, and fly towards your foe, who, being naughty in my sight...

65% wet mud, 30% pure water and 5% goose fat and you're set. The goose fat means it doesn't get stuck in the hose, the mud is muddy and the water gives you added range :)

God bless America and our weapons. funny thing is 6 of the owners of the mini gun live in Texas. I met them at the last machine gun convention/expo in long view Texas.
nice guys too. I think if Texas ever succeeded from the Union they have a good chance of winning.

I have my doubts that spray paint would stop infrared so I would personally go for this. (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=dH4PkOhrSn0)

It's obvious that the Texans control all the military planes and satellites. Like the Illuminati, but a bit more open about it.:D

Seeing such article images I had a conclusion: this should be standard issue in all offices of the world:

if you haven't noticed these are modern mini guns. able to put out rates of fire akin to aircraft carrier Air defense. Link with a computer and a radar and it provides a decent defense.

though also worth noting that a large portion of the military is Texan on top of the largely armed Texan population, and that the state has a state guard(in addition to the Texas national guard but can't be nationalized) armed with F-22's(well 3) I could definitely see Texas after a long drawn out civil war becoming to state to provide leadership(in the tradition of Latin American dictators) or simply saying F it and leaving the other 49 states to their own devices.

But, on the other - more realistic - hand, if the rest of the US objected, they'd pinpoint flatten what they consider military targets, and bomb the little Texas militias into craters if they so much as popped their minguns out of their bunkers.

except a large part of the federal military is made of Texans. they would clearly turn on those Yankees and flatten DC.

Maybe one in ten? That means 90% of the federal military is NOT Texas. It also means that Texans are outnumbered something like two-or-three to one JUST by Californians, Virginians and North Carolinians.

The Union can survive a Texan revolt. It can survive a Texan revolt without ever having to mobilise a Yankee.

We're hoping Virgina gets completely flatten and North Carolina can expand it's borders.

much closer to 1 out of 4 Texans. despite its large size Californians don't seem to join the military. and I am sure our other neighbors around the south will join. I think its a plot by the red states to join the military in mass.

In Texas, they could have an Imminent Zombie Attack Flamethrower Sale.

What ya need is a kelly hose (aka mud hose) from a drilling rig.

thats how i got my last flame thrower. only cost me 25 dollars. there is talk of making flame thrower ownership mandatory just like guns.

Last I saw (2002) Texas was the most well-represented in terms of military strength, with almost 14%.

Where are you getting your numbers?

just the number of Texans in the military when i was there. So yeah not objective numbers. but still 1/6 is pretty good. A few other southern states join in and the south will rise again this time.

Because I don't think anyone in the Armed Forces is too keen on dying or killing other Americans. o_0;

Th south is why do you think it has been slowly taking over the military.

We are prepping to take over the north via military Americans over powerful military machine. and the fun part is we will cancel the debt causing and replace the US dollar with a gold back currency causing all economies of the world to spiral out of control.

I loved the stapler gun with the spikes on it. Although I always thought a crossbow model would be much more sophisticated. :)

Nothing in there on flamethrower as it's not propelling any solid object.

And since Texas has only a single squadron of fighters (F-16s to be precise) they'd lose air superiority in about 30 seconds.

Of course, you're assuming the rest of the states wouldn't just tell Texas not to let the door hit them on the way out.

Trust me, if they didn't let CSA leave the nation, they won't let Texas leave either.

The New Hampshire Legislature will debate a state bill on 10 February that is based on Thomas Jefferson's work in favor of states' rights (Kentucky Resolutions). The Bill (HCR 0006)would tell the federal government thanks but no thanks on matters where power has not been given to the Feds by the states.

http://www.gencourt.state.nh.u...on/2009/HCR0006.html

"That any Act by the Congress of the United States, Executive Order of the President of the United States of America or Judicial Order by the Judicatories of the United States of America which assumes a power not delegated to the government of United States of America by the Constitution for the United States of America and which serves to diminish the liberty of the any of the several States or their citizens shall constitute a nullification of the Constitution for the United States of America by the government of the United States of America. Acts which would cause such a nullification include, but are not limited to:

I. Establishing martial law or a state of emergency within one of the States comprising the United States of America without the consent of the legislature of that State.

II. Requiring involuntary servitude, or governmental service other than a draft during a declared war, or pursuant to, or as an alternative to, incarceration after due process of law.

III. Requiring involuntary servitude or governmental service of persons under the age of 18 other than pursuant to, or as an alternative to, incarceration after due process of law.

IV. Surrendering any power delegated or not delegated to any corporation or foreign government.

V. Any act regarding religion; further limitations on freedom of political speech; or further limitations on freedom of the press.

VI. Further infringements on the right to keep and bear arms including prohibitions of type or quantity of arms or ammunition; and

That should any such act of Congress become law or Executive Order or Judicial Order be put into force, all powers previously delegated to the United States of America by the Constitution for the United States shall revert to the several States individually. Any future government of the United States of America shall require ratification of three quarters of the States seeking to form a government of the United States of America and shall not be binding upon any State not seeking to form such a government; and

That copies of this resolution be transmitted by the house clerk to the President of the United States, each member of the United States Congress, and the presiding officers of each State's legislature. "

Trust me, if they didn't let CSA leave the nation, they won't let Texas leave either.

Idk, everyone hates Texas, and we did try to keep them out of the Union. They had to apply twice, and if I remember correctly, it was a very narrow win for acceptance.

Trust me, if they didn't let CSA leave the nation, they won't let Texas leave either.

Things were a lot different in 1861.

That sounds a bit like a rehash of the 10th Amendment resolutions that were floating around in the 90s.
