Hand-held flamethrowers appeared on sale in the US

The guys with Indiegogo did not have time to release their “first commercially available hand-held flamethrower” XM42 in September. They were ahead of the company XMatter LLC, which has already started selling flame thrower X15, as well as accessories for it - additional cartridges with carbon dioxide and cans of napalm.

Sales began in 48 states of America, where the flamethrower is classified as an “entertainment device”, except for California and Maryland, flamethrowers are prohibited there.

In most states, flamethrowers are not considered firearms (there is some irony in this), so their sales are not regulated by law. In the American supermarkets, and so there are gun departments: near the socks and shorts sell rifles and pistols. But there it is necessary to obtain a special permit from the authorities, and for the purchase of a flame thrower no permits are required.

The manufacturer emphasizes the high quality of the product. The tank maintains a pressure of 4000 psi (from a can of CO ₂ ), which is four times as high as the working load. Each flamethrower is checked individually.



The “entertainment device” works out of the box right away; no additional tools or settings are required. The distance of the lesion depends on the mixture used. By default, the flamethrower is charged with a mixture of 90% diesel and 10% gasoline and hits 15 meters. Maximum stopping power is achieved with 75% gasoline, 25% diesel with the addition of napalm (see video, where different mixtures are compared).



In general, the pressure of the cylinder is adjustable. At a maximum pressure of 11.3-liter cylinder, it lasts about a minute of flame throwing. With napalm a little more. From the octane number of gasoline almost nothing depends, so it is recommended to buy the cheapest 87th.

The developers suggest that their $ 1,599 product will be used in agriculture to clean the land, to destroy weeds and harmful insects, to remove snow and ice from the tracks, and to create beautiful pyrotechnic effects on Independence Day, when fireworks are traditionally organized throughout America .
