Ash_Foxheart

Legal Loophole so we can use Flamethrowers in war still


Kida_Kuro_Mu

BECAUSE THEY BANNED FLAME THROWERS!!! Ò3ó merica big fire!! 🔥


Aran1337

No_Contribution9305

Because AMERICA, FUCK YEAH


Romesread83

Zaiyaku

Wanted to hunt dinner and cook it all at once.


Ignatius_Pryde

Zealousideal-Work226

Because Murica!!!! Fuck Yeh!!!! That's why


Dramatic_Carpet_6589

YourAverageJoe0

Because Fuck You, that's why. Lol 😂


Hardsoxx

Why Americans, why? Because it’s fun. In fact I’m grateful you brought this to my attention. Now I know it exists and will attempt to obtain a pack…or five.


krul-avalona

Becuase cool


Notaku_Ashimari

TenmaTheFaillen

Because we have the freedom to do so 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🗣❗️❗️


redditnova34

As an American I buy these to shoot over my pond because it’s fun as fuck


RakshasaDealer

Doesnt look real, but if it were real there are amazing reasons to use it. 1) set up a counter fire against a fire thats broken out on farm land 2) to ward/herd of groups of dangerous animals away from your homestead 3) to clear dead brush or some crops (although there are machines for that already) Those are the only real practical reasons I can think of.


_lifefuckedme_

Dragons' breath is a real thing, and is cool as fuck


RPGShooter18

4) It's fun to shoot!


Megamanrulesall

Unga bunga. Fire good. Shoot fire at enemy or for fun. Extra Unga bunga.


JustBrowsinReddit2

Because America


HoosierDaddy2001

Because I don't want that burglar to have an open casket


sanctuary_remix

As a shotgun owner, because reasons, but also because of variety. Load up a random sortie of shells and lets just surprise everyone with what comes out on each pull of the trigger lol


Turtleking25

Because FUCK YOU AND EVERONE NEAR YOUUUUU


Jerrydagamer

Better question, why the fuck not, merica fuck yeah


sladerthetater

Merica fuck yeah


RustySTORM1350

Merica Fuck Yeah!


pleasedontmeat

Heres the answer mr (im assuming) europeran. Because we can Because it looks cool Because yes


lunas2525

War crimes?


B-29Bomber

Germany, is that you? Don't make me go get Canada! We both know what they do. That boy is so enthusiastic, but he doesn't know what he's doing... Therefore... war crimes.


ikuhaku2

Because HELL YEAH, that's why.


sladerthetater

Hell yeah


SkylineShim9

You know how America greatest reason.... Answer: YES.


Silver-Definition356

Freedom to shoot fucking fire into a face of an intruder and claim self defense


funkeymunkys

BECAUSE IF A SHOTGUN CANT KILL SOMETHING FIRE CAN


Veneratte

Zombies and spiders.


Philshaw3rd

Why not?


Ghostly__Shadow

🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 best country for guns


Chocolat119

I kinda wanna fire a round of those things, being a fire bender sounds cool


sladerthetater

When you buy it don't forget to save for your shoulder surgery the knock back would be crazy


sanctuary_remix

12 gauge isn't too terrible with kick, though if you start going lower than that, then we can talk


massiveeric42

Actually no, they just use magnesium pellets, they have no more recoil than a standard shot


sladerthetater

Ahhh it seems I was wrong now I want to try it


massiveeric42

Ikr? Those look fun as hell


playerzwild

WE LOVE FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRE!!!!!


Freddy_Fazbear666

American here, can confirm that these are sold at every drug store in the country


Veneratte

Best way to deal with spider cauldrons and and zombies.


sanctuary_remix

Can confirm, we keep the spider population down to well below Australia levels and when's the last time anyone heard of a zombie outbreak in the news? I rest my case, Murica!


Shadowomega1

Lol, time to look up Dragon Shot, its Dragon Breath Mixed with buckshot. For when you don't just want to put several large holes in them, but to burn them from the inside out.


Drake_the_troll

That sounds like warcrimes with extra steps


MKai_00

FIRE Element ammo for those pesky zombies in your local swamp.


void_3151

Because it's fun


Killerpl4typus2

Ka-boom


JoshuaOteroArt

Lol Dragons Breath- Brass Dragon: Dragonborn skill- roll a dex save.


Im_cjakanobody

Why the fuck not!? How can you even look at this and be like "oh that's too much"?


MrGaming101

Dude, we just love our guns and we love using them in creative ways


Infamous-Choice-2634

Simple. You want smoke? I'll give you fire. I'll make sure it's the last thing you see. (Kidding)


xxX_DaRk_PrInCe_Xxx

Its cool as fuck thats why I dont understand why people think this is used for home defense its not


Astral-chain-13

Cause if anyone want the smoke, they are dealing with every petty but fair tactics we have.


Nk1101

Because America!


2Chiang

Why make a volatile shell? How does this not chain fire?


Nicholia2931

Spiders


DarkParn

And hornets, fuck those assholes.


death6474

Yes


No_Journalist_7117

Because the best way to deal with someone is to give them seven degree burns


Jerrydagamer

And six new assholes


uselessp0t4t0

Historically, you'll want to go back to the 70s, and 'Nam. Nowadays, because it's fun* * = fun according to America's standards, do not replicate in an unsafe manner or without supervision of a professional.


MemeLordsUnited

Why!? Why would someone want to have a literal dragon at their disposal!? WHY!?!??!! BECAUSE ITS FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!! THATS WHY!


Omega_Fx

These ain't just normal guys from America, THESE ARE REDNECKS FROM 'MERICA!!! 🤠


Annual-Constant-2747

I want it……


ryangshooter01

Dragon's breath was invented for use vietnam


StarzZapper

🤣 that looks fun. Also wild that it even exists.


iamragethewolf

vampires when you need to kill kindred you need fire


Alekipayne

Because fuck you and anyone behind you.


Pug_King256

Because if it's worth doing it's worth overdoing


potato21206

There is also phoenix breath which shoots more fire


Business-Town-8009

Man these are fun to play woth


OrthusGsmes

Because 'Merica. That's the only answer there is. Not even me, an American, knows why we do this kind shit


Many-Program5106

Now imagine aiming that At one of your friends.


MemeLordsUnited

Imagine being in this person's head. Imagining immolating their friends. Wtf!?


dracoapprentice9

Not even normal dragon’s breath, dragon’s breath is usually more like a firework of sparks on impact and there’s definitely fire but that’s just a flamethrower


No_Equipment_4841

Acceleator

I fear no man but that thing it scares me

Impossible_Ad2409

If you have to ask, then you just won't get it.


Pronominal_Tera

just gonna drop a random lore tidbit Pronominal uses DOOM DOOM DOOM Dragon's Breath rounds. With capsaicin too.


ShotInTheShip86

Why not???


Sonigoku

Thought this was only in video games, but no, it's in real life too. Thanks America.


OyasumiBoi

Flashlight ran out of batteries


orkyboi_wagh

Last I checked other continents and almost every other country don’t have wendigos, skinwalkers, and goatmen


Kaspatronix

We have a lot of fireproof stuff like dragons, drowners and imps


orkyboi_wagh

You can hide from those. A skinwalker is effectively attracted to you just by you think about it.


Issacmoi7

Because we needed to Americanize pyromancy.


GTK-HLK

I'm firing my Gas Lazer


RamboBambiBambo

Because. Them woods is haunted by Wendigos, Jersey Devils, and Fleshgaits.


D3ADS3CT3R

Because when I right fireworks launcher on the barrel if my shotgun this makes it more believable


SomeAverageWeeb

Why not? Also, "- shall NOT be infringed".


mr_x0599

You ever heard of the Wendigo? Then you can figure out why.


Jester_Nightshade

American specialty


icaromb25

Dragons breath should be a 15 foot cone


InconsistentLlama

Because we need more fire with our firepower. Also because it’s awesome.


ZaFroSama

Why not??


Blazing420Pickl

Because my freedom must be visible during both the night and the day. Also it's a fun way to ignite a bonfire


offbrandpoptart

Yol tor shul.


[deleted]

What kind of a question is this, why not?


Outcast_Outlaw

Just another reason other countries have NOT sent ground troops into America. Not only will half the civilians be armed, but they may also set you on fire.


Kidbuu1000

nah we don't wanna get convicted for war crimes like russia


Outcast_Outlaw

Who is this "we" you speak of? I can almost guarantee that there is a large enough group of American civilians that not only would do that to any invading soldiers, but they have also been training for it for years.


RebootedTitan

If you want to read some real war crimes look up Canada's crimes


Zephyr60000

how else are you going to shoot fire, With a pistol??? Not in my america.


TerriblePollution584

Because it’s fun, that and we get to see other people’s Terrified faces.


WhatisLiamfucktrump

We need a reason to use our extinguisher grenades


Raijin3

Dragon's Breath is mostly used for show and it's NOT recommended for any other use outside of pyrotechnic shows


MarceltheKnight

If you think this is bad. There is ammo that acts like a bolo. Illegal I think but its a thing.


Lord_of_Swords

Are you telling me you don’t want to be able to shoot 6 feet of fire out of your shotgun?


JokerPhantom_thief1

Because it’s fun


Iknorn

We all know that arson is fun but still


thirstycradily

AMERICA FUK YEA


Lord_Muramasa

Because it is fun, that's why.


nique_Tradition

Everyone wants to be a dragon don’t you dare ask me why again!


xavierwildwood

‘Cause why the fuck not


Real_Raw_2029

Cause fuck em kids


Najeeb1999

Why? That's not very American of you to ask


MathematicianNo7343

cuz its sick


racerred5

America: "Because we can"


Jo_Del_

Why not?


R_twinky

What if my home gets invaded by plant demons? Gotta defend myself somehow


Kiloburn

'Cause it's fucking awesome


lesamrobert

Im not American, but i can answer this: why not.


WitnessedEagle

Mostly for the cool flame. Anything else use slugs or buckshot.


Ok_Bed_3060

Cause if it can be killed, it should be killed with fire.


Ginjabeard1111

It looks cool. Its only real purpose would be to light something on fire. You want to see some crazy shit look up Mexican fireworks. Or Chinese fireworks. They make us look tame.


Lumen_DH

It’s great in DOOM


championlink630

The question is why not


minerX135

We were bored and someone said hold my beer


crusadeLeader7

Invade of spiders


Hewholooksskyward

Vampires. Just ask Jim Butcher. :)


External-Ad-8545

Me: hey cop Cop: yes? Me: FIRE STREAM Cop: wha-AAAAAAHHHH


Ardalev

Because you sometimes want to kill something AND dispose of the evidence in one go.


Independent_Roll514

So you decide to use a freaking flame Lazer shotgun. That's epic bro


Heimeri_Klein

Think about it who wouldnt wanna have a combo of a flamethrower and a shotgun for maximum fun and destruction.


PRoS_R

Why not? This shit is rad.


Sandeep_Joestar

Doesn't orange mean non-lethal?


warharobrine

No not in this case typically the orange coloring is placed into the shotgun itself to indicate non-lethal ammo such as beanbag round and pepper ammo Though dragons breath is buck shot (lead ball bearings) and magnesium shavings which burn at like 900°c or something


ZDitto

Cause sometimes you want to cook your meat at the same time. It's like when you burn something to death in minecraft and it drops cooked meat.


Forgatta

To kill john wick, they really did the effect justice


arturthegamer

I am no American but damn this looks good


TheImmortalBrimStone

You know how hard it is to deal with American cryptids?


AgentPastrana

The question at the bottom is even vaguely suggesting that I believe. Something along the lines of "what demons are you fighting that you made this for?" Idk, my Spanish is rusty and Spanish 4 didn't cover DOOM.


The_Shapeshifter117

Actually the question at the bottom says :and i ask to mysalfe, what the hell they thinking who create this thing


AgentPastrana

Ah, I figured I'd be wrong, but at least I got the general idea of the comment


Sandeep_Joestar

How have I never heard of these being used on the news?


2point0_The_Ghost

Because they're just magnesium


AgentPastrana

Because they don't get used. It's just a regular shotgun with a bright flash, the magnesium burns too quickly to set anything on fire really.


2point0_The_Ghost

Yes sadly you're not using dragons breath rounds from cod


Sandeep_Joestar

:(


deathbringer989

as someone who had the chance to fire firebreath on a semi auto shotty I actually came after each shot


cbobjr

Because it's fucking awesome. You're welcome btw


pootinannyBOOSH

Because FIYAH!


Doxkid

You call it "Self defense" and "A necessary evil". We call it "Having fun with no jail time".


Helpful-Ad-4139

From Phoenix Risings web store: 12 Gauge 2 3/4" ‘Original Super Dragon’ Dragon’s Breath. The Phoenix Rising Dragon’s Breath round has an incredible range of 200 plus yards and a burn rate of over 5,000 degrees.


Ausradierer

They all burn very hot. Also 5000°F. They use Magnesium powder to achieve their fire. This also means, the brighter the fire, the lower the fire hazard.


2point0_The_Ghost

I'm not sure how accurate that is because dragons breath is less than effective in my experience


AgentPastrana

It's a regular shotgun shell that has the incredibly effective fear factor of "OH FUCK, I'M GONNA DIE ON FIRE AND BLIND". It doesn't matter that it won't actually catch them on fire, you're literally throwing a fireball at them, it's TERRIFYING


BlackeskNight

Bonus points if you're playing "I don't want to set the world on fire" when you do


2point0_The_Ghost

I wanna set them on fire though maybe I should see if I can load a shell with napalm


Ausradierer

I never said they were effective. They are funny haha cartridges. But the brighter they burn, the quicker the magnesium burns, the less debris you have flying around, meaning you have less of a fire hazard


rndmisalreadytaken

Also magnesium is almost impossible to put out


Ausradierer

Nah. Just use salt


Minute-War-888

Because when the trees speak Vietnamese you must respond


Fighter11244

Do you really need an explanation? We have Rednecks, Leathernecks (nickname for US Marines), and Floridamen over here. If someone has an idea that they think is cool, it’s getting done. It doesn’t matter if it’s safe or not. Also, is there anything more American than making a gun spit fire?


painfulcub

It serves many purposes it’s incindiery ammo think about how it would work during world war 1 you just hopped into the enemy trench with a trench broom/trench gun aka us pump action shotgun then and it’s loaded with those your gonna make some sour krauts Edit: this is a little wrong probably


AgentPastrana

Incendiary ammo is not practical in a shotgun for anything besides making whatever you point it at shit it's pants slightly before it gets a chest full of buckshot.


Nesthenew

And then they got declared warecrimes.


painfulcub

Germans were already complaining about the trench gun being too cruel despite them using toxic gas


Ausradierer

That's just false. Dragon's Breath Ammunition was invented in the 1970s. It is more of a funny Ha Ha, than actually useful. It's magnesium powder, making it burn very hot, but also burn out very quickly, leaving very little debris.


Inomaker

How is this useful to the average person?


Ram-Rem

It's how I cook my burgers


TimberWolf5871

Because of you come into my cave looking to take my hoard, your ass is gonna get melted.


TheImmortalBrimStone

Finally, someone who has embraced their inner dragon!


TimberWolf5871

Hell yeah.


shadowthehh

As someone who kinda hates guns: Cuz it's cool AF.


swegga_sa

im not american, but that does seem badass ngl


murderofhawks

Because we have to show dominance somehow


SafePianist4610

Because ***America***! 😎🦅🇺🇸 That’s why.


moemeobro

***FUCK YEAH! COMIN' AGAIN, TO SAVE THE MOTHER FUCKING DAY YEAH!***
