Safety Last: A Do-It-Yourself Flamethrowing Pistol
Is that a flamethrower in your pocket or is your penis on fire for no reason?
This is a flamethrower in the form of a handgun. So it's small.

Some guy went and built a thermal lance (cutting torch) that runs on pure oxygen and the fat from bacon (well, prosciutto). As you can see from the picture, the 5,000°F grease-flame is hot enough to burn through a pan, and straight to our hearts. *swoon* A thermal lance, ty... / Continue →

Let's face it, guns and booze go together like trebuchets and LSD: they were made for each other. So the $22 Shots Gun Drink Dispenser comes as no surprise. You just jam the topper (complete with holster) on a bottle, pump the pump, and PEW PEW drinks to your hearts content. ... / Continue →
