Hi all !

Before beginning I hope to have the right to present my flamethrower, I saw several on the forum but after reading the rules I just noticed that the incendiary projectiles are prohibited (with spudgun), ...

So, this is my first flamethrower, for beginning some photographs:

The first version:

The last version, I hope to modify it because I don’t find that super…

Now, an old video of shooting (flamethrower have not a regulator, and the ignition was very basic and not very effective…)

Before I forget, I’m French, so forgive me for my low level of English.

I'm not sure if this is prohibited. It may be, I would check with the mods. However, it is very well made, and looks very impressive. Personally, despite the danger of an incendiary "projectile", I think it would be a shame to see this taken down, but it may be against the rules, so I wouldn't expect this topic to stay unlocked.

I hope that my English is comprehensible; it’s difficult for me to understand all the messages of spudfiles, but I will make an effort :cry: .

Already thank for your opinion, I hope that flamethrowers are authorized, moreover I have began to make another flamethrower with high pressure, I could give photographs of the beginning of construction if you want. :wink:

I make also spudgun, I could present my hybrid (x10) when it is finished, and I had also a pneumatic spudgun but it is dismounted now and I miss parts, but I will remake another with more pressure (40 bar / 580 psi)

If this were to be a water pistol, it would be allowed. Just remove the video and I imagine it would be authorized. This is very well constructed, and I would love to see a video with a better ignition system. Well done on a good build!

consider using this as a soundtrack for your videos

I am afraid that flame throwers are forbidden... well if they lock this thread feel free to post it on Eurospudguns... I am sure they won't mind it

ohh and finally... make sure you have no leaks and that all of the hoses are rated high enough :?

Great idea :P, but i can remove the ignition too.

POLAND_SPUD: Good song, fallout 3 is a good game also, maybe I buy it :wink:.

So, 3 photos about my next flamethrower, I have just begun construction:

The tank is a fire extinguisher (co2), it’s very thick and it’s certify 264 bar \o/.

Loving the irony of having a fire extinguisher being used in this project. Perhaps have a separate site where you can showcase a new video, because I would love to see it in a much more reliable state.

I’m also on this site from time to time:

You are welcome :wink:

And you will be able to see the beginnings of the project.
As my flamethrower with a high pressure washer (the video is missed, framing is horrible…)
