[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2459424, member: 63925"] Homemade flame thrower - so about 60 years ago I took a water rifle and put gasoline into it. What a brilliant idea! Figured since it shot water about 20' why not a "cool" flamethrower? Yep really dumass idea! But 11 years old rocket scientist seemed reasonable at time? I was in our garage and I started to shoot gas out and had "friend" light it....he left for parts unknown shortly afterwards.....It flamed perfectly for about 20' out into our driveway and then I had to start trigger pumping again...oops. Flame pulled back into water rifle and "popped" into giant fireball! Burned my hands, threw blanket onto to it to put it out! Thank goodness! Simulaneously, my Dad pulled into driveway. Now you know rest of story....under house arrest for month! Hands hurt like hell for weeks and you can imaging the sympathy I got back in early 1961. Still had to mow lawn and that was "lots of fun" with hands bandaged. Slightest movement and danggggg! Just glad school was out for summer! [/QUOTE]
