Would this work with normal rifle powder? I imagine you’d need a particularly light load. Wouldn’t a shotgun work better?

I’ve Invisioned a similar device, but with one of those Can Cannon AR-15 uppers.

It’s not my first choice for fire damage but fun to play with.

Interesting idea, not something I’d want to fire by hand though. I could see that going poorly if the reinforcement disks didn’t hold up and the stick just ended up shattering the lit bottle of flammable liquid.

Interesting idea, looks particularly hazardous for the user though. Would be fascinated to see if this idea has been taken farther than these drawings.
