A portable flamethrower is provided. It includes a fuel supply, including an externally powered fuel pump in flow communication with a nozzle and a fuel tank. An ignition system is provided to effect igniting of a stream of liquid fuel. An electronic control system is provided to effect selective operation of the ignition system and the fuel system, and preclude their operation if operation criteria are not met.

A portable flame propelling device for deterring an attack by an animal includes a vessel, which has an opening positioned in a top thereof for positioning of a flammable liquid therein. A handle engaged to the vessel and extending from the opening can be grasped in a hand of a user. A nozzle is engaged to the handle and extends therefrom. A pumping unit operationally engaged to and in fluidic communication with the nozzle and the vessel propels the flammable liquid from the vessel through the nozzle. An igniter engaged to the handle proximate to the nozzle ignites the flammable liquid. An actuator engaged to the handle is operationally engaged to the pumping unit and the igniter. The actuator can be engaged by a digit of the hand of the user to selectively actuate the pumping unit and the igniter so that a flame is propelled from the nozzle.

The Spark Ignition Flamethrower may include a plastic or composite housing, a heat shield, fuel manifold, fuel pump, fuel nozzle, electrode, high voltage coil, and control module. The Spark Ignition Flamethrower ignites a fuel using a spark generated by the electrodes without the need for an initial flame. The electrodes may be supplied with high enough voltage to generate a plasma which results in an increased conductive area that increases the efficiency of lighting the fuel. The Spark Ignition Flamethrower may also be oriented in multiple configurations due to the adaptable fuel manifold which is capable of receiving fuel from various fuel sources.

The invention includes a shelter, a piece of clear, bullet-resistant plastic, armor plates and a flaming projectile launcher. The shelter combines two panels of metal or wood, joined along one edge at a ninety degree angle but is also foldable. The clear plastic piece is installed in panel. One armor plate is held by a user, while several plates are embedded in the panels or piggy-backed together thereon. The launcher fires a flaming projectile at a lessened velocity by using fifty percent or less of the powder normally associated therewith.

Herein is disclosed a means of preventing killings of innocent people in an active shooting situation by providing a mobile/fixed bullet-proof shelter which is strategically placed close to the synagogue or church pews, teachers' and students' desks or placed also strategically in facilities such as shopping malls or other soft targets.

The 661 prior art clear, bullet-resistant plastic when attached to police flashlight or hand-held with improved utility, convenient, designer plastic handle, can double as an improved utility head and face shield to prevent head and face shooting injuries to officers at traffic or other stop and no such see-through bullet-resistant head and face shield has ever been made available to police until now, thus demonstrating its improved utility.

Because in a chaotic situation, it becomes problematic to locate the shooting site, the invention likewise provides a means of locating where the shooting is by firing the flaming projectile from the non-lethal prior art gun-like device, customarily used for water rescue, but now improved with reduced firepower by removing 50% or more of the powder in the shell, thus rendering it non-lethal but still disabling, at the door, window or wall to help in localization as well as marking the shooter for the police and disabling him/her by kindling his/her clothing, thus demonstrating its improved utility from its customary use for water rescue.
