So...Elon Musk is about to start selling flame throwers to civilians now ?

I can't help but wonder what a school shooting scene will look like after some kid uses a goddamned flame thrower !

Unlike the movies flame throwers have around 90s of flame and the tank is very heavy and you get around 6-8 bursts before you gotta reload the charge. So not very practical

@Firespirit in a school that'd be very practical

@MartinTheFirst Well no its a closed environment and the sprinklers would foil your plan anyway wet stuff does not burn.

@Firespirit I'm pretty certain that humans still burn when flames applied directly to them even though they're wet...

@Firespirit I'm sure that someone who put a bit of thought into it could come up with a solution.

@MartinTheFirst Yes but your charge to fire the flame thrower would be ruined leaving the weapon useless and you could kill maybe 20-30 people at most a pistol with a extra long mag would be way more effective and you could conceld it under your clothing and take way more out before they called cops on you for walking around with a flamer thrower

@WraithornSure but why when you could easily get a handgun or several and use those way more practical

@Firespirit Well it does have more entertainment appeal than a gun. The dude would be one of the most notorious school killers.

@Wraithorn Not really Americans have short attention spans

@Wraithorn it'd be easier to get hold of and it'd be scarier than a gun
