My question goes to offense. I'd rather try one of these on a (tyrant directed) APC, than a typical firearm shooting lead bullets, which you know the armor will block.
I understand what you're attempting to do, but as I've said before, it isn't one gun that prevents a government from suppressing the people. It's one gun in the hands of a million people. The flame thrower is not in the same category, for the same reason the bazooka or tank argument you've used in the past is flawed. Which I've addressed before. Several times.
It occurs to me that a flame thrower would be an awfully useful thing to have if you were confronting a mob of looters outside your liquor store. Or your home. And the mayor had told the police to pull back and let her supporters do their thing. You can brandish a shotgun or AR but they know you are not likely to start shooting into the mob. You lay down 25 feet of flaming gas and they wil back off. Guaranteed.
Yeah, and then you burn the store down, or accidentally set fire to the media people in the area, etc. So they know you're not going to use your A/R, but they'll believe you'll use the flame thrower. Honestly, I don't know why I try sometimes around here. Congratulations on proving that Ricter is right on some folks in the gun crowd.
One can have all the guns they want. They just have to be kept under biometric security at a licensed gun range.
