I don't see how that debunks it -- seems like that legitimizes that it is an actual working flame thrower. The video makes it quite clear what it is -- no one should be expecting a 50 foot range military flamethrower.

  A flamethrower is a device which pressurizes a flammable liquid or gel, which is ignited and projected at range. This is not such a device, it’s just a propane torch with a toy gun case. You might as well call a lighter with the valve wide open a flamethrower.

    Where is it defined that a flamethrower needs to use a liquid or gel? Wikipedia says: A flamethrower is a mechanical incendiary device designed to project a long, controllable stream of fire. They were first used by the Greeks in the 1st century AD...Some flamethrowers project a stream of ignited flammable liquid while some project a long gas flame.

  > I don't see how that debunks it -- seems like that legitimizes that it is an actual working flame thrower. No, it's a working blowtorch, not a flamethrower. (Which incidentally seems to mean that it isn't restricted by California's licensing requirement on flamethrowers, because it doesn't meet the definition of “flamethrower”, either generally or in California law.)
