Flamethrower
« on: Mar 01, 2014, 02:13 PM »
I bought a three dollar powerwasher today at a flea market. Planning a flamethrower conversion. Cover over the screw holes, add a wire netting around the barrel, remove stickers, repaint, make a gas canister and attach a hose. Any other suggestions welcome.

A "sparker" on the end- a tiny bit of wire or rod that looks like it'd ignite the fluid exiting the flamethrower.  That and a few other choice greeblies, and you're well on your way to making a flamethrower.

Ponders making a second flamethrower pack or to attach a fuel canister to the existing WIP jet/rocket pack?

Connection line to the jet pack is the way to go.

Beef up the body, and make that igniter tube longer.  Flamethrowers don't work with a wick- that'd just be a ballsy Zippo.  Awesome, but ineffective.

Thanks for the input. One more brass tube to increase the igniter length. Will look into beefing up the body. I kinda like the streamlined look over a chunky look. I researched flamethrower images and there were both.

Second hand grip.
I've never seen a flame thrower thats one handed. Second trigger on the foregrip wouldn't hurt either so U have one trigger for fuel and one for heat.

This is a really cool tutorial on how to make one. Obviously you'd have to mod it so its not so earthy.

They actually have a great tutorial on how to make a saber hilt. I'm using it for a trophy.
