Pretty awesome stuff there. :mrgreen:

The XM-15 looks mighty fine, but the XM 42 handles better at close quarters combat. If you have a squad of armored troopers with AR-15s going through your front door, I think the XM-15 would be the best defense against them. Then again, I have this idea of putting kerosene in the water sprinklers so when the troopers get inside, you can douse them with it and then light them up with the smaller XM 42.

What do y'all think? :2razz:

12,000 rounds a minute

Wouldn't mind having one.


Not the slightest idea what I'd do with it, but who fracking cares? It's a flamethrower! :D

I would personally use it to get the damn Germans out of my trenches! They just swarm everywhere and this is not working anymore:

I get a kick out of that crazy Russian.

Home defense, the XM42 would probably be more convenient. I would ONLY run gas in it though. If you want to run napalm or napalm with willie pete or other nasty additives then the big boy is your better bet.

Farmers using them for clearing out ditches.

They use propane powered wide flame torches or sweeps. I haven't seen a farmer use a flamethrower. I am sure there is one somewhere that does, however most farmers don't.
 
Love it. Those ****ing tent caterpillars in the cherry tree are gonna get it this spring.

Let's see....12,000 rounds per minute times an hour of range time plus that guy that "just wants to try it" and you're off to the range at least once a month....carry the 7....comes out to roughly.....I need a bigger wallet. A much,, MUCH bigger wallet.

Meh, cant maneuver that inside your house. Drapes are expendable anyway.

Get rid of the snow in your driveway, quick BBQ, fire ant control, that neighborhood dog that always barks at you, etc.

I own my own publishing firm so ...no. ;)

He's not really Russian. :2razz:

Good point, I was leaning towards the XM15 anyway. Using the smaller XM42 will need extra flammable stuff lying around I think, but it will be faster when fighting from the bedroom or in between corridors.
 
Really? Hmmm.... maybe we should talk sometime.... :)

LOL its not what you think. Its registered as a corp strictly for tax and copyright purposes but it has no fixed assets. I can however teach you how to self-publish if you wish, its easy nowadays anyway.

Don't know anything about that. Is it possible to make any decent money that way?

Take it with you the next time go golfing. Never mention it and if anyone asks about it, just smile and then go back to four putting.
