Chuck had built robots for his science fair project. Afterwards in his basement he demonstrated his flame thrower.

He filled a large syringe sans point with Prestone and squirted a stream of it through a candle flame. And it worked well.

The robots were toast.

The U.S. Army no longer had flamethrower tanks but the Marine Corps sent several to Vietnam.

RPO Rys 122mm

The RPO Rys (Lynx) is a shoulder-fired reusable weapon that fires a rocket-propelled encapsulated napalm warhead. Introduced in the late 1970s, it was designed to replace the LPO-50 flamethrower. The RPO is carried in two parts that must be connected to fire (the rocket is packed in a disposable tube a la SMAW). The napalm in the RPO ignites at the initial stage of the flight and upon impact burning pieces are scattered all over the target. The area affected is 4 yards wide and 30 yards long from the point of dispersion. Allthough still in use by Flamethrower Battalion (Encapsulated) at Corps or Army level, the RPO has generally been replaced by the RPO-A series (RPO-A/D/Z). The RPO is usually issued as a pack containing the launcher and two rockets (48.5 lbs.$4,000).

But, wait a minute!

That's not all!

This RPO alone is worth the $4,000, but if you call now, we'll include the RPO, the standard two-pack of rockets plus an additional set of Shinsu carving knives all with a lifetime guarantee.

That's 1-800-HI-FLAME--Call Now

RPO-A Shmel 93mm

A follow-on to the RPO, the RPO-A Shmel (Bumblebee) is one-shot, disposable, shoulder-fired weapon. It was introduced in 1984 and is issued one per platoon for airborne and naval infantry and one per squad (BMP) for mechanized troops. The RPO-A launch tube is easy to recognise since it's the only Russian weapon of this type with camouflage pattern. The RPO-A rocket has a thermobaric (enhanced blast explosive) warhead; the demolition effect corresponds to the 122mm HE artillery or 120mm mortar projectile. An excellent weapon for urban combat, the RPO-A has been used in Afghanistan, Tajikistan and Chechnya. The RPO-Z rocket has an illuminating/incendiary warhead and the RPO-D rocket has a red phosporus/smoke warhead. The RPO-A series weapons come in a two-round carrier/pack (48.5 lbs. $2,000).

Not available in Maryland, Massachusetts, Connecticut, California. Must be 21 to order. Void where prohibited by political correctness. Do not use on children or pets. Not approved for use in the house.

Morning, snippy! I don't think I'm ever going to catch up on the threads.

Samwise Jr. just made me show her your home page. She said you don't look snippy. :^)

LOL. Tell Samwise Jr. those pictures are with my friend SAM and with our Navy troops so of course I don't look snippy, couldn't be with my guys.

However, get me in a conversation about the clintoons and if someone would snap a picture, guess what...I'd look snippy!!!

I try not to do it very often. :)
