yeah, jus get an old super soaker (the kind that doesnt pump out 10 gallons a second)and fill up the tank w/ gas and have a flame like 2 inches from the barrel.

I thought I denied this already. Anyway, the supersoaker idea is a bad one, because for one there will be air in the tank which could lead to an explosion, and for two the gasoline will not play nice with the seals and gaskets. The safest way to make a flamethrower is to pressurise thick liquid fuel in a suitable tank with nonflamable gas and pipe this to a heat resistant nozzle. If you want something cheap and easy, burn yourself severely with the supersoaker. Now the thread's denied.
