The Throwflame is very much like your grandfather's flamethrower. The ION Productions team is more akin to the weed killer/snow melter you can buy at Ace Hardware.

Having a hose from a fuel supply is cheating.

stay safe.

I had a couple of these when I was with 1/114 Infantry. They were always leaking all over the operator. Very old, very dangerous.

I notice you said "the operator" and not "me". Shows smart choices of toys to not play with.

stay safe.

Yeppers. Cavalry Scout. We had three that were complete (notice I did not say working) and one for parts. They wanted to use them in the riots in newark, with cs instead of gel. Cr@p leaked everywhere and we had to evacuate the building till it cleared. Some things just wear out.
