That is pretty cool, but can you cut down on all the lol's, and rofl's please, they can get really annoying, and I know other members have said the same thing.

Ah this is the result of the combination of trash laying around and free time, right? :D

It wont kill you.
Even if they explode, they'll just rip open and you might get a burn.

When a bottle chamber contracts it can mean two things:
1- Pulled vacuum. When your projectile jams and the gases cool down again, while some of it leaked away.
2-Got heated up too much. Oftenly caused by too much fuel, resulting in a slow burning flame that melts down your bottle, eh, chamber.

But since you just burned a flame inside it (no full-chamber deflagration) you just melted it with the lighter.
Till the day I'm dieing, I'll keep them spuddies flying, 'cause I can!

What part of "plug the back side with the long nose lighter and hope for the best" did you not understand?
