Boys and their toys
Well, you gotta love a post that starts like this:
Like any red-blooded, masculine man of the male gender, I love PVC weaponry. You should too. If the concept of heading on down to the local Home Depot and transforming $100 worth of random pipe bits into a killing machine doesn’t appeal to you, you’re a frikkin’ pansy. Also, you’re probably sane and will live significantly longer than I will. Nonetheless you disgust me, and I take comfort in the knowledge that your obituary will be nowhere near as humorous as mine. For those of you who laugh in the face of hypersonic shards of plastic puncturing your spleen, here’s an intimate look at how I’ve kept myself busy for the past week: building a PVC flamethrower.
Not sure the legality of building one but I do not recommend it. This guy says they’re unregulated:
A Flame Thrower – not a DD, nor even a firearm. Unregulated as to possession, under federal law. Great way to clear snow off the driveway.
No, officer friendly, it really is for snow.

I’d note in Pennsylvania, flamethrowers are currently regulated by the Department of Agriculture–they’re considered farm implements.

We have several PVC guns that will variously throw C or D batteries through a cinder block, launch an empty caulk tube about 120 yards, or throw a bowling ball about 1/2 mile using compressed air, or shoot paintballs 300 fps using BP. We are still experimenting with loading the air guns with flour, and firing through a propane torch. PVC is cheap entertainment. The Spears company probably has a contract out on us.
