Boring Company flamethrower
 
Elon Musks boring company is now selling a flame thrower for $500 US. Looks like they ship to Canada. So who has one on pre order.

"anything to declare?"

"clothes, shoes shopping, some tools, $700"

"what kind of tools?'

"just a shrink wrap heater and some butane for it"

Never heard of "Boring Company".

Then I saw this

Neat concept... Didn't think this was Boring at all... :suspicious:
Then I realized it's the BORE-ing company... to make holes.

Clever name.

It's real.

Real enough that Elon's sold $5 million worth. And managed to probably get it added to Borderlands 3.

Elon Musk’s flamethrower faces possible sales ban in California

“Like most Americans, I am in awe of Mr. Musk’s genius — the brains behind Tesla, PayPal, SolarCity, and Space X. But as President Truman and Stan Lee have taught us all, ‘With great power comes great responsibility.’ There are many times in which technology and inventions benefit society, but are not made available to the public. We don’t allow people to walk in off the street and purchase military-grade tanks or armor-piercing ammunition. I cannot even begin to imagine the problems a flamethrower would cause firefighters and police officers alike.”
lol

...that's just a slightly bigger butane torch... like something you can get at homedepot for $30....

a can of spray paint + lighter is probably a better flamethrower and will shoot further...

DragonChi 01-30-2018 06:50 AM
USA, right to bear arms. I don't see how this is different.

The Blaster flamethrower in South Africa is the most effective anti theft system for cars. :fullofwin:

100% legal to buy and use in South Africa.

-much more lethal than this Boring company product.

The one they actually burned up. LOL.

After doing some googling I seems this is not considered a firearm in Canada and is legal to own because it does not shoot projectiles.
