      It is is a hadheld nozzle that ejects propane that is on fire ~3ft for the purpose of burning weeds, I think that is enough to count as a “flame” “thrower”

        As someone who uses a propane burner for blacksmithing, I am constantly reminding my wife “IT’S NOT A FLAMETHROWER!” because once not long after we met, my old decrepit one sprung a leak out the side and from her viewing angle she thought it had set me on fire.

        In fairness, mine is designed for a 1ft flame, but I did use a weed burner in my very first forge. About 2ft if I blasted propane without a regulator.

        I’m not ready to die on the hill, but I will gladly throw up some polite resistance upon it.
