Jason Salerno from the DIY YouTube channel So I Had This Idea… has retconned The Boring Company’s new $500 flamethrower and found a way to build his own.
Everyone knows that Elon Musk’s flamethrower is little more than a roofing torch. You could go to your local hardware store and buy yourself a torch, but you’d still be missing that sweet, sweet flamethrower look.
Fortunately there’s a way to have the best of both worlds for a fraction of the cost.
What You’ll Need
- S.T.A.R. XR-5 1508 Airsoft Gun (in white)
- Blow torch
- Bottle holder
- Propane tank
- Hose
All the materials cost Jason around $270 new. That’s almost half the cost of the real thing and the two weapons look almost identical. Jason even made his own “Boring Company” decal to go on the side.
Watch the video below to see how it’s done.
