Per Daily Mail:
Ohio-based Throwflame opened sales for its ‘Thermonator’ Tuesday, selling its 37-pound quadruped machine for $9,420 that is legal in all US states except Maryland.
A demonstration video shows a Thermonator creeping and jumping through a forest before torching its surroundings with a 30-foot jet of fire spewing from a flame thrower on its back.
The company did not describe it as a new-aged weapon, but touts the flame throwing robot as being used in wildfire control, agricultural management, entertainment and ice removal.
Throwflame, based in Cleveland, claims to be the oldest flamethrower manufacturer in the US.
The company released the first-ever full-sized, commercially available flamethrower in 2015, which shoots flames up to 50 feet.
‘This unregulated flamethrower sparked a significant media response relating to legality,’ Throwflame shared on its website.
‘However, flamethrowers remain federally unregulated.
‘This means anyone can buy one without background checks or a waiting period.’
