Life in the future
The world’s largest welfare recipient, Elon Musk, and his company have released a flame thrower. The world’s safest, even. Sort of want.

Words I never anticipated reading in the same paragraph:
“Flamethrower” and “world’s safest.”
What next, “nuclear weapon” and “cutest”?

Pfft, that thing is no match for the XM42. Remember this one?

My understanding it is no more than a propane torch not a flamethrower

The difference between a torch and a flame-thrower is the throwing. Torches burn fuel at the nozzle while flame-throwers throw a stream of ignited fuel that burns at point of impact. The former is like a weed burner from Harbor Freight or the rosebud welding torch attachment we used to heat metal gears etc. at the mill. The latter is like a bad-ass highly unstable and dangerous war game.
Still Musk’s toy like all of his toys, is a cool feat of engineering and an object of visceral desire…I like it.

I agree. Weed burner. The $500.00 price is $100.00 manufacturing costs and profit, and $400.00 liability insurance and lawyers.

I’d rather have the X-15.
