No they aren't.https://lifehacker.com/is-it-legal-to-own-a-flamethrower-1822514399 Believe it or not, there are no federal laws governing private ownership of flamethrowers or flamethrower-like devices (theyre considered extended-reach torches). It all comes down to individual state laws, and for the most part, everybody is surprisingly pretty chill with you bringing the heat. Only two states in the country restrict the devices: California and Maryland. Theyre completely banned in Maryland, and can only be obtained in California with a permit issued by the State Fire Marshal (Lets see your papers, Musk). Failure to get a license in California is a misdemeanor that could lead to a year of jail time, or a fine of $10,000. That means youre technically free and clear to buy and own flamethrowers in the other 48 states. --- The name is wackyteen for a reason. Never doubt. ... Copied to Clipboard!

you have to be rather close to a person to burn them with a flamethrower. a handgun is much more practical and efficient

They can reach well over 50 feet and hose down targets. And if you were facing a crowd of, lets just say zombies, the flamethrower would be a much superior choice.

https://news3lv.com/news/local/suspects-use-makeshift-flamethrower-in-central-valley-robbery Second one is really just a can of hairspray and a lighter but still. I'd imagine things like this aren't used because they cause too much attention and aren't as convenient to use. You set off a fire everyone knows exactly where it is happening from a good distance. Gunshots echo and can be concealed easily. It's just not a viable choice for criminals. --- I don't have emotions & sometimes that makes me very sad. ... Copied to Clipboard!

but do zombies even need their muscles to move?Well in the real world, yes. Humans need muscles to move, and at the end of the day, zombies are just humans who are infected by whatever disease causes it. Heres something else to keep in mind. Movies and video games lie to you for the sake of setting up dramatic moments. Real organic matter doesnt hold up very well against fire.
