Hey /pol/, could this be technically classified as a flamethrower?

>>137383541
>spraycan and a lighter that throws flames cannot be considered a flamethrower because of its limited range ("about 1ft") and how ineffective it is ("you can step away from it").

Depends on what you use.

Starter fluid would light someone up like a christmas tree.

The device in question is certainly being used as a flame thrower. I would classify this improvise device as a flame thrower because A. it is achieving its desired effect of throwing flame and B. the man using the device most certainly premeditated it's use in this manner.

it's a makeshift incendiary device

>any device which (i) consists of or includes a breakable container including a flammable liquid or compound, and a wick composed of any material which, when ignited, is capable of igniting such flammable liquid or compound, and (ii) can be carried or thrown by one individual acting alone.” United States v. Agrillo-Ladlad, 675 F.2d 905, 908 (7th Cir. Ill. 1982)

Let's put this nog in jail.

What's that old guy doing with the nogs?

/k/ here

Legally what you are looking at is what would be called an "agricultural device" as legally defined by the BATFE. However, as used against a human being with the intent to do harm or egregious bodily harm would be considered assault with a deadly weapon, just like a boot, fists, or a length of rope.

A flamethrower is something that by definition, throws flame on people or structures, usually in a gel, or liquid manner, designed to burn well past the point of ignition.

For example the XM42 """flamethrower""" can he purchased by anyone over18 with no background check because it's basically a big ass lighter. Its not throwing a flaming substance on something, it's just lighting gas on fire for a brief second before it fizziles out. It is not an AOW(any other weapon), DD (Destructive Device), or NFA (National Firearms Act) classification device.

Look at the posture and nose

It throws flames.

Pure coincidence

>>137385835
Isn't it always? :^)

>>137384391
This refers to "Molotov cocktails, not a handheld device capable of spewing flame if combined with an ignition source. If that were the case, every aresol can would require an ATF form 4473 and a federal NICS background check to purchase

This is my flammenwerfer

it werfs flammens

>>137383541
Yeah that's a flamethrower. Look at those heroic and powerful nationalists.

as long as he used it as a weapon and ignited willfully, it can be classified as a small homemade flamethrower. now we just need to find out who he is

>>137383541

flamethrowers have thick liquid that lands and stays lit.

It was among the first mass killings in American history, hundreds of years ago.Some asshole farmer put together a gasoline squirt gun and burned an Amish schoolhouse full of schoolgirls and a few nuns.
