I knew someone would nitpick my title. Thanks for confirming my belief in the technical correctness fairy.

In my state (USA), I can legally own and use this flamethrower, but I cannot legally own this.
Proof.

Jesus christ. Possession of my fuzzy pink handcuffs are a disorderly person's offence.
How does one go about demonstrating lawful purpose for these things?

I had a slingshot when I was a kid, I bought myself at kmart, maybe when I was 10.

About $900 or so it seems. http://store.xm42.com/XM42-Flamethrower-p/xm42.htm
Though it seems they use different fuels

Buy both and it's still cheaper than hanging off a bridge to protest arctic drilling for an hour. A judge fined Greenpeace $2500/hr for that stunt.

Greenpeace do some pretty dumb shit as it is, last thing we should be doing is giving them flamethrowers.

You can also legally make your own flamethrower, if you have time and the money for the parts. Most of us have neither.

I was going to get one but they're illegal in the UK :(
[–] Spacehuman ago
You could make one for $300
