Due to my Asperger's, I was treated like a brainless retard at best, and a godless lunatic at worst throughout my childhood. Rightfully so for the latter, to be fair. I did have a particularly ugly episode in early 2009 that landed me in an asylum for nine days. I do not appreciate my suffering being downplayed.
Are you 18 or older and/or are Pulsefire flamethrowers legal in your region? If not, then you could probably make your own flamethrower. Not saying you should, since they're extremely dangerous, especially if they're not built properly, but I am saying it's on the table.
