Earlier, we brought you a video clip of a man who'd hooked up his trombone to also act like a flamethrower. Sure, it was pretty pointless, and yet at the same time, it was also quite impressive too – you know, in a pyromaniac's delight sort-of-way.
Now we've discovered an even more ludicrous trombone flamethrower. One that shoots jets of fire out over 21 feet at maximum range, and, you know, makes a trombone-like noise.
And though we admire their ingenuity – and their desire to one up other people on the internet – we can't help but wonder about the possibility of the gas tank beside the player's head catching on fire and everything getting very grim, very fast.
That and someone accidentally taking it along to band practice and frying the back of someone else's head.
In other words, what we're trying to say is this: don't try this at home. Watch it at home, sure, send it to your friends, absolutely, but as for making one yourself? Best leave it to the professionals. Or these guys, at any rate.
Ever taken a bottle of propane, attached it to a trombone and then used it as a flamethrower? Jonathon Crawford has, and he's got a video of him using it online to prove it.
Though we do not in any way encourage anyone to do anything like this, ever, but as Mr. Crawford has, we thought we ought to share. You know, to warn people from doing it themselves. Of course.
Here's video footage of a rubber band-firing Gatling gun that's so utterly ridiculous and awesome, you'll be squealing in delight as soon as you see it in action.
It can fire 100 bands at full capacity, comes with a specially designed tripod to maintain accuracy and stability and is fitted with a mini Mag light so you can see what the hell you're firing at. (If you're firing hundreds of rubber bands in the dark, that is.)
Also, it's made of aluminum and has eight flippin' barrels to blast those rubbery bastards all over the place. It weighs in at 15 to 20 pounds and is definitely not -- and we can't emphasize this enough -- a kid's toy.
It'll set you back $500 and take two weeks (at least) to get to you, as it's a custom-built model. Still, that's well worth the havoc you'll be wreaking at your next Monday morning meeting.
