Dies Irae Posted August 4, 2004 Posted August 4, 2004 Vehicular Flamethrower Crime-obsessed South Africans have a powerful new weapon with which to stop likely criminals: the car flamethrower. Quote
NERV Posted August 4, 2004 Posted August 4, 2004 thats an old story, heard about it years ago, look at the date on the article, its from 1998, they would never allow it in america, people would rewire it and blast it at a cop who pulls them over Quote
robokochan Posted August 4, 2004 Posted August 4, 2004 I'm sorry...but that is just over-kill. Plus imagine what it would do to the paint job after repeated use. And it wouldn't kill anyone....toasted that test dummy pretty good. ROb MN Quote
EXO Posted August 4, 2004 Posted August 4, 2004 I like the Robocop anti car theft device idea better... except it leaves a bad smell in your car... Quote
JsARCLIGHT Posted August 4, 2004 Posted August 4, 2004 Gotta love that tagline: Fire Blinds, not kills says Manufacturer. Why did I suddenly have a flashback of the old Tarzan, Tonto and Frankenstien? FIIIIRE BAAAAAAD!!! Quote
Wes Posted August 4, 2004 Posted August 4, 2004 Altought the flamethrower looks cool(and sounds cool ) I personally feel the Trunck Monkey is a better investment, with minimal upkeep. Quote
skunkobot Posted August 4, 2004 Posted August 4, 2004 One of the things you have to realize about this is how ridiculously common carjackings are in S. Africa, and also of course, how dangerous they are there. I don't have the figures, but the odds are stacked... Quote
Godzilla Posted August 4, 2004 Posted August 4, 2004 I heard how S. Africa was really bad on carjackings. The salesman at the Toyota dealership in GA that sold my my bro car was saying how lawless it was and even worse in the rural areas hence why he left. Quote
