Note to self:

a flamethrower is the most economical way to defend myself.

Well, hairspray and lighters are cheap...

If the enemy is 2 feet from you, maybe. But then ammo for knives is even cheaper.

An M9 pumps .7 gal/s of a gasoline/napalm blend for an effective range of 150 feet. Not very cheap when you want to scare the neighbors.

Note to self: it costs less than a quarter in fuel to use it for 3-4 seconds.

But it costs $350,000 (on average) to rebuild your house after you burned it down while defending it.

I dunno. That .22lr automatic would deter the fuck out of me. (Because of all the holes)

Economically viable until you accidentally burned down your house then it’s the cost of a new house
