According to research, drivers in South Africa are allowed to attach a blaster, or flamethrower, to their vehicle. The 'flamethrower' or Blaster device was actually a thing in the late 90s. The Blaster was a liquefied petroleum gas flamethrower installed along the sides of the vehicle under the doors. With a flip of a switch inside your car, the Blaster would direct flames in all directions, leaving the hijackers blind.
