Idk, having something that could melt metal from a safe distance as a deterrent seems a bit overkill. But don't take my word for it, I might be overreacting.

    It's just running on butane - it won't have enough heat mass to melt metal (and produce any notable flames). Probably it won't do much more to a person than startle the hell out of them and maybe ignite their hair.

    3300°C seems a bit much for butane but it could be farenheit which I would assume is still quite hot.

    I think even oxy-butane tops out at 2,000°C (which is 50,000°F or something idk). 3,300°C is around the max for oxy-acetylene, which is I'm assuming what the person writing this was looking at.
