It turns out that firing an AK47 into the air one handed while you're dancing and not really paying much attention can sometimes have negative consequences!

I'm not a fascist. I'm a priest. Fascists dress up in black and tell people what to do.
Looking at getting an oxy/acetylene setup (well, I am getting my dads, for free, sans hoses, regulators and tanks, so basically a torch kit) and it's a whole bag of OSHA if done wrong.

I was looking for videos of what happens when you get a flashback and the flame goes back into the hose but I didn't find anything, this was the closest thing but nobody seems sure what the heck is happening in the video, if the torch exploded or if it was something else:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjKRbgGDhHs

My dads torch is an AGA X-11 torch, can use propane or acetylene with different tips, I took it apart, glass bead blasted and cleaned all the parts, it looks to be in excellent shape, only it is so old it has no check valves or flame arrestors on the torch. But those are modular pieces that can be added on.

However in researching this I've come across different ways of doing this, in europe we put flashback arrestors at the regulator end and only check valves at the torch. In the US you put both things at the torch. Which method is safer? Seems that if you get a flashback in a US configured torch it stops right there, on a euro torch it goes back to the regulator and stops there, but won't the hose explode? Perhaps very violently? One pro of the euro system I hear is that if the hose ruptures or melts, the acetylene and oxygen might catch fire and travel back the hose to the tank and welp if you're using the US setup, you've go the stops at the torch and you just bypassed this, with the euro system you stop the danger at the regulator, but you loose the hose? Not sure what happens if the flame goes that far back down the hose.

Perhaps the reasoning for the euro system is a ruined hose and perhaps torch is worth protecting the tanks better? The US system seems better in those situations where the hose isn't damaged directly, but leaves a big gap in those events.

:barf: I really appreciate the CGI reenactments. I like how they showed a coworker calmly tapping the giant emergency stop button with one finger after a guy fell in the meat grinder. I'm pretty sure it would've been a panicked open-palmed slap, but whatevs. Also, hey dumb waiters! Stay out of the dumbwaiter! I stopped watching after the wood chipper.

Tomo News is pretty hilarious because they make cheap CG reenactments of so goddamn many stories that they cover. They've done some stories covering self-defense with guns and they've got the same creepy 3D models, sometimes carrying weird sci-fi guns instead of recreations of the real thing, and always with bad "overacting" by the models.

Edit: One thing I will say is that I appreciate being able to see the scale of some of this stuff. I knew about the Bumblebee Tuna incident, but I didn't realize how loving huge those pressure cookers were.

Excuse my relatively safe life where I never seen a gun in real life, I have to ask this; do normal bullets act like that? Granted, never seen a live video of 1) shooting so many rounds 2) by so many people.

Pretty sure those are tracers that they're firing. They have a bit of burning chemical on the back specifically so you can see their trajectory and correct your aim. (Also they look cool.) I've never been to a range in the US, indoor or outdoor, that didn't ban them outright due to the fire risk.

Having shot that poo poo from an MG-42: Yep, that's tracer rounds. In "production environment" situations you mix them in with normal bullets so you can "walk" your shots on target while in full auto mode.

I doubt anyone puts them in AK47s other than for fireworks purposes, or maybe to start fires.
