Re: Very disappointed..
But fact they are legal is shocking
The "Boring" flamethrower is boring. We used to make ones ourselves in high school. The sole difference was that we did not do it with gas. We used cans of cheap deodorant which were using chloromethane. 2-3m flame and extra bonus of nasty hydrochloric acid in the fumes.
Nothing and nobody can stop you assembling such a fake flamethrower today (you will have to use gas cartridges for a camping stove though as most cheap cosmetics use inert gas nowdays). A couple of hours in the workshop after cannibalizing a Campingaz stove will do it (costs 17 £).
Now, why a real proper flamethrower is not a restricted weapon in the land of the "free" is really in the realm of crazy.
