This works quite well for me.
After I finished my hybrid, I discovered I could seal the valve with a few psi of air, then let my meter pump the chamber full of propane. After attaching a blowgun to the valve, I was able to produce some nice explosions by firing into a torch.

After that I tried using it as a short range flamethrower/ BIG torch, but stopped because I was wasting too much propane :)

Its really cool to discover that a gun you made has hidden functions that you never designed it for.

I tried this with my fire mans marble rifle using butane.First i made a small pool of butane in the extinguisher closed it all up put about 10 psi of air in (or something like that) and waited until i stopped hearing liquid in the tank set up a little tiki torch and got a very large fireball and a charred barrel :shock: so yeh u should try it seeing that i still have all my fingers should work for u.
