That video would be considered breaking the rules.
You can't post stuff like that.

Content.I will not specify, as people will still be able to read it after you've deleted the link.

Read the forum rules please.

The content. We do not affiliate ourselves with the stupid behavior that gets people killed, and the idiots who conduct the aforementioned behavior, who go about giving spudgunning a bad name. If someone set their house on fire, and then it was found out that they learned their shit on SpudFiles, it would be curtains for us and our hobby.

It says something about not flaming noobs, as you where one too once.

You do have a point though.

Its not flaming, its being realistic. A fire bomb is just a forking huge liability. Sure they are fun, but that is just until you or something else important catches on fire, and gets the rest of the world arrested for it.
@eskimo: I didn't mean to call you an idiot, just meant to say that you were taking part in idiotic and unsafe behavior that could end you up in jail easily.

The rules are a very important part of what makes spudgunnery fun and legal. At the time firebombs probably sounded like a good idea, but its extremely dangerous and illegal. The rules are in place to keep people safe and to keep what people do with spud guns legal.

Thank you guys.

SpudFiles is based in the US, and in the US according to federal law, spud cannons are legal. However, when you use them with any type of flaming projectile, you turn it into a dangerous weapon and therefor illegal (felony).

In order to keep people safe from using hazardous materials in home made devices, and in order to comply with the laws, we do not discuss or show off things like this. If you intend to do things like this anyways, please do not post it publicly.
