For those who dont know, the ignitor on the end of it is that round block they put in the nozzle. It has 5 magnesium charges that are started by pulling the front trigger. A flamethrower Marine was carrying dead weight unless he had other charges packed with him. Because after all 5 are used which they dont last long, youre walking around with whatever fuel you still had on your back. The Japanese had flamethrowers also but only really used them when they were in an offensive postion prior to the US entering the war, essentially when they were purly in a defensive position when we joined the fight and didnt have a use for them. I guess Karma caught up to them. Also yes the average life expectency of a Flamethrower Marine was extremely low. I know of a story from a friends grandpa of when he got appendicitis prior to landing on Iwo Jima so he got pulled before it and after his surgery he was the only flame thrower marine left.

Flamethrowers were used by the German army against Allied troops in World War I. In World War II flamethrowers were fueled with napalm, which burned with intense heat and clung to its target. In the 1950s the United States developed a one-shot portable flamethrower for use in close range against fortified positions.

When i found he was a marine fought in world war two i of course would ask questions about his experience with utmost respect ....mostly. he told me some stories that were to my young naive dumb ass i thought were embellishments...like he said sometimes after blasting out bunkers or pill boxes they would look inside and find the enemy dead without burns said they suffocated because the air had been sucked up from the flame theowers blast. Another time after reading a book he lent me written by i think William manchester titled "good bye darkness" which i recommend... I stupidly asked him about collecting gold teeth . I realized i had gone to far when i saw his jaw muscles in his cheek tense up and that strange look like his eyes would go out of focus he would mumble something and walk away after sending me to the board field looking for the elusive birds eye maple boards for a customers cabinets. I always thought it was punishment but it was actually him wanting me to think about things . Next morning i was clocked in talking with old eddie degrenier hope i spelled it right.... He was another vet who was in the air force during world war two Raymond came in walked by us and casually tossed a dungaree bag on the work table i was reading some blueprints on looking at it i looked at eddie questioningly he got a hard look in his eyes and walked away i guess him and ray had spoken about my questions day before .i opened it up and yeah there was a bunch of human teeth in there with gold fillings. I started being embarrassed but then i got really emotional almost crying i realised his life at my age was not about partying smoking grass drinking and chasing girls around with my mustang he was fighting for his life and doing things to other young men that today seem horrific but to them it was not. I never doubted those guys again who worked for that company all their lives raised families after basically saving the damned world ....i never got a chance to thank raymond and the other guys for what they did and for putting up with me actually i grew up without a dad at home and they in many ways taught me how to be a man not a punk they have all passed away and where ever they are now... after all those years ago... im in my sixties....I want to say thank you to ray and Eddie and Gerry foster and all the good people that serve and have served for your sacrifices so people like me could have a live of safety...... Thank you and ray eddie and Gerry rest in peace you dont need me to say it but i do appreciate the time i had working with you guys i wish i could have realized it more back then...💪

Don Graves talks about being a flamethrower operator on iwo jima and after one battle he was the sole operator left and as such was tasked with training more operators and when they tried to force soldiers to train with the weapon most refused and were not disciplined for refusing he even says something like you cant force a man to yse a weapon like that

When I went to Corregidor island in the Philippines a few years ago I went to the main gun battery emplacements and discovered the offset command bunkers there and when I walked in found the walls completely covered in black soot which I could still scrape off with my finger...then I realized that here the American soldiers, instead of chancing been ambushed by the remaining Japanese soldiers inside just used their Flamethrowers to completely engulf anything that would be in the depths of the bunker..it was a sobering moment on my journey on that island!.

Check out the pulse fire. You can buy them on Palmetto arms for about 400. There's on with a quarter gallon tank that you can put on your AR and another that has backpack thing that allows 4 minutes of flames.

Buy a 2.5 gallon refillable water fire extinguisher, a 6" piece of 1/4" steel tubing, and a propane trigger ignition torch. Shove tubing down rubber hose and weld torch to tube. Fill with gasoline/diesel mix. Pressurize with air compressor and fire away. Range 25 yards

[@Peaceful_Gojira]

Wow....I never knew the M2 Flamethrower had a pilot light from flares inside the tube's front where the gas is expelled, and thus creating a stream of flame....that's actually really ingenious...dangerous, but then again: it's a flamethrower. Stuff's pretty dangerous, tbh.
