from irwinners webpage "Napalm is very easy to make, find an old bucket or bowl, fill it with gas. Then dissolve Styrofoam in it until it won’t take any more, you should end up with a sticky syrup. That’s it you’ve made napalm, simple isn’t it. Don’t touch the napalm with you bare hands it’s very bad for you!!! Now what are you waiting for go pour it on stuff and light on fire!!!"

Just put as many styrofoam\plastic bags in it as you can, the more the merrier :D ...

dude im just brainstorming and this might be rediculous but should i launch some denatured alcohol (or something flammable that won't eat away @ pvc) from a spudgun?

i could make a little torch with a tiny blue propane tank.

it would be quite the flame that's for sure! but it would only be one shot.

but maybe this would be a bad idea if the inside of the barrel caught on fire and incinerated it.

what do you think?

I think it's against the rules to talk about that.

Shooting flour into a flame isn't against the rules, just don't shoot it towards people seeing that it makes a GIANT flame when shot out of a pneumatic right...

LOL OMG that almost made me shit my pants that vaseline being used for a flame thrower thing. Napalm is in flamethrowers... But yea could you imagine a malfunctioning flamethrower started spewing vaseline at people and just covered them in it... its like filling a supersoaker with KY jelly and spraying down unsuspecting people.

Be careful of what fuel you use because of the risk of the flame traveling back into the gun. One of those one-way valves would be a good idea, as well as making a better gun for this at least using metal for the nozzle and valve.

fuel will not ignite if there is no oxygen, flame traveling back into the gun would only be a problem if someone was using compressed air to pressurize the tanks.

:D wow thats one crazy fool. But i have to give it to him ... he actualy had the courage to shoot that thing. but it looks fun. I have a question, if you position the pilot light farther than in the vid, would it be safer?
