Hi all, was cleaning the house the other day and found a stun city flashlight I bought a couple of years ago at a local gun show. Charged the battery and it worked, both as a flashlight and stun. While it was sparking and arcing the thought came to mind I bet I could start a fire with this darn thing. Cut a piece of cardboard to protect the lens and took an almost empty can of off and tap sprayed (just a little bit) a wad of pine needles. Sure enough instant fire. Next I tried a small piece of char punk wood. Did not work on first try as I had the contacts in the rim in direct contact with the char punk wood so I backed off a bit and move the arcing rim into the char punk wood and this time it worked - had two embers going where the edge of the two contacts where. Looks like the stun flashlight can make a first fire with the help of a little off and then keep making fires if you make some char punk wood during the first fire. Just thought others might find this interesting or useful.
