Coming soon to a battlefield near you. If it can bypass the export controls, that is.

Currently, flamethrowers are legal across the US, except in Maryland, where they are considered a “destructive device”.

This is insane. One out of 50 states is sane and California is halfway there. Why are these legal? I get torches for repairs and cooking but that's a far cry from a flamethrower.

You say that like a person who has never had 50 feral hogs charge them on a moonless night.

I'm gonna say if that happens to you perhaps you need to consult with your local druid and figure out what nature spirit you pissed off.

I’m not entirely sure 50 charging flaming hogs is much better 😅
