I remember seeing a South African anti-carjacker flamethrower on TV when I was a kid in the 90s and thinking "That's cool, but who's ever going to need that?" pic.twitter.com/qgUSAb0LgR— ⌬ Isopropyltrimethylmethane (@flatulanthippo) June 2, 2026
Here's the video of the Gimbal Gunport in action:

While SVI isn't marketing this specifically for the anti-white violence that's currently unfolding all over South Africa, the fact that this is needed at all is indicative of the fact that society has failed. It's utter chaos over there, ladies and gents. 👇
This account shows how South Africa has decayed in just a decade, and it's a warning to us allhttps://t.co/yhmznHsm6T— Not the Bee (@Not_the_Bee) February 13, 2026

Attacks on white South Africans have increased exponentially in recent years. The nation, which has adopted discrimination against white citizens as retribution for apartheid, is literally crumbling as power stations go offline and infrastructure collapses.
The Trump administration, which has essentially ended the refugee program, has made an exception for white South Africans. Many, especially those whose Dutch Afrikaner families have lived in the country for more than 300 years, have decided to stay and fight.
To the north, the country of Zimbabwe followed a similar course by killing and seizing the land of white farmers who had settled in the area under the government of Rhodesia. Once a thriving British colony, the country is now one of the poorest in the world.

To be fair, there are plenty of other markets for a vehicle gunport.
We need this in Western Europe.— Hansen (@Hansen531) June 2, 2026
Heck, I might even want one in case a fiery mob decides to get mostly peaceful with me!
Discharging one’s personal protection from the inside of a vehicle is loud. One suggestion is to keep a pair of ear muffs next to the 9mm in the center console. In case of an emergency pull on the ear muffs, rack the 9mm, lower your window 4 inches, select a target, and remember to exhale before you squeeze the trigger. Repeat as necessary.

South Africa was a first world country in the 90’s, now it is barely third world.
The Jodie Foster “Panic Room” movie was released in 2002, a quarter centaury ago. It’s not set in South Africa but it might as well be.
That’s the very epitome of dysfunctional.
What a picture! I can’t even imagine how the last shots made it out, because the barrel is warped.
Oh I saw that 40 years ago when I first drove through Beverly Hills and other high end neighbourhoods in LA.
The makings of Spencer Pratt ad in LA....

The US bought several Casspirs from South Africa in the early Oughties for use in the 2nd Gulf War -- because even the "up-armored" HMMWV didn't pass muster for buried IEDs -- before DoD's procurement system could have any built on their own.
CZ Scorpion Evo 3 (availble in select fire) not included.
Fabrique Nationale Fusil Automatique Léger (FN FAL), right arm of the free world.
The chap at furthest left appear to be cradling an M1918 Browning automatic rifle (which also has been manufactured by FN).
That species is just sooo easy to live with.
Hope that is a sign of good hunting!!!
If that is a legit pic, I can’t even imagine rounds doing that!
Right back at you! I'd go for a GE M134.
But does it come with cup holders?
I remember that episode. Even with The Hamster’s safety record, even though it’s an armored vehicle, that might have been one of the riskiest things he ever did.
Sad story, South Africa.
A nation destroyed by western (US and Euro) moralistic racial grandstanding which didn’t even apply!
We projected our racial past and conflict onto them.
Most the blacks in South Africa weren’t brought there as slaves.
Most the blacks came AFTER the place developed.
Most the conflict there was between the various black factions, NOT white on black. The former government of South Africa was keeping them apart, trying to prevent them from slaughtering each other.
Mandela was not some peaceful guy, he was an unrepentant terrorist and even given a chance to leave prison early if he just promises to renounce violence.
South Africa was an ally and we backed them through the Cold War since they stood against the Communists.
But then once the Cold War ended, we turned on them (didn’t need them anymore) and PROJECTED our BS race politics onto them.
Today, few talk about how South Africa has been in a low intensity civil war with more blacks dying than under Apparheit.
Few mention how this nation where the first heart transplant was performed, designed and built their own jet fighters, where you had universities on par with what you find in the US and Europe today has intermittent power outages in their cities, and roving gangs raping women in the city in broad daylight...
And the brakes are drums with armored drums built into the wheels, because disks would be too fragile in that application.
It's 4WD and the axles are hardened steel but it can lose three and still motorvate.
It's so tough they fit them with aluminum wheels and deliberately drive them through mine fields to clear a path for thin-skinned vehicles.

You've got to be pretty comfortable with your product to deliberately drive it through mine fields.
Yeah i had wanted the side flamethrowers when i first saw them. It would work too well to save someone though so we cant import them.
Still we can make our own....
I must say from personal experience that firing high powered automatic or even semiautomatic rifles while wearing clothing that exposes large areas of skin is a problematic undertaking. Hot brass flying around as ejected can result in some very painful burns. Wearing a hat with a brim is also recommended to prevent hot brass from falling inside the collar of your shirt.
Uncle Al! The Duelist’s Pal!
