[QUOTE=Bat-shit;29696791]Whatever that cutting torch is, back at the vocational school that I used to go to, we cut a metal plate with a plain normal welding torch. Multipurpose tool I tell you! The can-like version of the blowtorch I have never touched or used. But the "cutting torch" I have used to weld and to cut. It just takes a whole lot of firepower to melt through the metal and even less patience than welding things together![/QUOTE] It's like not seeing a difference between a hammer and a sledge hammer. Sure both can hammer nails, but it's not the same.
I do wish kids of this age would stop arson' around

[quote][B]SHENANGO TOWNSHIP, Pa. -- [/B]Police said it seems that a 3-year-old was able to operate a handheld blowtorch and set fires in his family's garage and on a neighbor's porch in Shenango Township, Lawrence County. Firefighters were called at about 9:30 a.m. Friday to extinguish the flames. Township police said somebody reported seeing the boy walking on Route 388, carrying the blowtorch and wearing only a T-shirt. "The torch itself in the propane tank has safety switches, and the child was able to manipulate them and turn the torch on," said Shenango Township Police Patrolman Darrin Cwynar. Police said the boy burned a porch swing, a broom, a sliding door, a deck and a knob on a septic tank and singed an igniter on a gas grill. Shenango Township Police Chief Dave Rishel said damages were estimated to be "almost $5,000." "The torch was right near the grill and the results could have been devastating, just could have been devastating," said Rishel. "Fortunately, the child was not burned in any way, shape or form. That in itself is a miracle." When police found the child and picked him up, he told them where he lived, but nobody answered the door when they went there. Eventually, they were able to contact a relative. "When I arrived on scene with the family member, he was able to gain entry through the garage, and we found there was a large pile of objects that were smoldering. The garage was filled with smoke," said Cwynar. Police said the boy's mother was asleep in the house, exhausted after having worked a midnight shift, and the father was at work. No charges have been filed while an investigation continues by police and the county's Children and Youth Services office.[/quote] [URL="http://www.wtae.com/news/27805722/detail.html"]Sauce[/URL]

Also where I live people would also call it a blow torch so I think that's where the confusion comes from.
Misleading thread title.
and he did it all without pants :911:
How did a 3 year old light a blowtorch ?, even i have trouble getting the mixture right
[QUOTE=scorpinat;29699728]How did a 3 year old light a blowtorch ?, even i have trouble getting the mixture right[/QUOTE] What? You plug in the fuel tank, then ignite it. Not exactly quantum science. Why would you mix shit yourself?
Wow, if the world was a forum, this kid could would be banned for flaming.
[QUOTE=Watevaman;29694638]The igniter is not the propane tank. Even then, most propane tanks have a valve that keeps the flame from returning into the tank itself.[/QUOTE] ohhh derp derp thanks professor no shit I'm saying he was this close | | to noticing the big funny looking bulbous tank of explosive gas attached to the grill and blowing himself up
wow, I was ten before I caused my first property damage, and it was only a hundred bucks then.
How do they know about his balls? What has the world come to...
[QUOTE=Merijn;29691652]There are backstories, if I'm not mistaken. Not entirely sure where you could find them again. I believe it's on the pages for the "Meet the" videos.[/QUOTE] We'll technically, those are more about describing the character as seen in the game and showing what their personality is like. I'm talking about their childhood. Maybe the sniper could grow up shooting kangaroos with BB guns or something.
Retarded parents alert. "Parents allow kid to play with blowtorch" - Fox news.
