I do recognize that a flamethrower won't catch them on fire, but the general principle of lighting metal on fire is known.

I'm going to guess it still has wires with plastic coating that can melt and cause short circuits.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Don't need to burn it. The heat will weaken the structure of the metal and make them fall. Or melt the wiring/circuitry.
