let me assure you that a nuclear physicist though intelligent,has never built a working flame pistol.i hope that you will post your working flame pistol for us all to see.one does not build these on a whim.let me assure you that i know.i am the owner of two.there is very careful planning in the construction of these.i am trying to stick to the forums guidelines,but i know how these are made.as far as liability those who are able to purchase a working replica will never betray the inner workings to a certain aggressive somebody so willing to reveal the makers secrets of making a successful one,despite promises that the betrayer would display photos with anonimity!!!!those that have them and seek them shall.it is like a secret soceity,one that does not betray its maker.maybe you will learn that through time.there are legal implications to this piece.it is so much advised to proceed with caution.it is not unheard of to be banned from these forums.ask ds props i am jp 529
