All Flamethrowers and Incendiaries

Weapons that project or spread burning fuel, including the German Flammenwerfer 35 flamethrower and napalm, the gelled petroleum fuel. A weapon belongs here when its cited article describes it as a flamethrower or an incendiary mixture. It excludes grenades and mines. Both the portable German flamethrower of the First World War and napalm, a thickened fuel that clings as it burns, were used to clear trenches, bunkers and buildings and to burn supplies and cover.
