GustoferI bought one. It's very handy for burning weeds and setting slash piles aflame. The tank on it is pretty small though and I only get about 30 seconds of trigger off a tank. They do make an optional backpack tank that is larger, but that would make me a little nervous.
I have this one.

StorminNorminI have one but not what you think of like a military flame thrower, or the one you gave an example of. Mine connects to a propane tank and I use it to burn weeds.
This is what I have:

Similar to what I use, to burn weeds as well as start lump charcoal.

That’s the one I have. I use it to burn weeds out of beds. I have used it to melt snow in certain areas. I also use it to start my fire pit.

I can see the warning label now. "Not for use indoors or to defrost pipes."

ZSMICHAELOne use is driveway repair? The ones the marines used on Iwo lasted only a few minutes. The marine often did not last that long as the Japanese were all gunning for him.

Warning labels make me laugh many times because that means some idiot did it.

honestlouNothing but fun so far. I have one that mounts on a picatinny rail, or stand alone.

sourdough44I could find use for one, getting brush piles going if nothing else.

92fstechI do not, but a former neighbor used to have one. He used to stand out his driveway with a steak on his little charcoal grill and stand there and blast it with that propane flamethrower for like 5-10 minutes. At first I thought he was just trying to light his charcoal, then I realized he was actually using it to cook his steak. I miss that guy, lol.
