Several probably sell flamethrowers, vintage and thermobaric alike. Got any more specifics?

Of course, God only knows why you'd want one of the backpack models. Heavy, absurdly visible, and dangerous to carry. Much better to use thermobarics that you can load into any old UGL or RPG system.

I know that the Doomani soldiers use them, but I haven't seen any in Doom's storefront. He MAY be willing to sell them to you if you ask him, though.

I assume they aren't the backpack model; one can merely shoot the soldier carrying them in the back and ignite his or her whole platoon.

No, they were small and compact. The tanks screwed right into the gun and could be switched easily. I saw it maybe a week ago but now I can't remember which store I saw it in.

Doesn't sound very useful. Even the big backpack units only had enough fuel for about ten seconds, tops. This sounds much more akin to the German Eintossflammenwerfer 46, which was a disposable model with only about a second of flame. Carrying around reloads also seems rather odd, as cannisters of compressed gas and liquid are far from light. It's FAR easier to carry around thermobarics, of either the grenade, UGL or RPG variety, and you get more utility from the launcher as well.

I'd use napalm ones like Doom's. Of course, IC Kahanistan isn't so willing to deploy them - they consider them barbaric. But if pushed they might use some indigenous flamethrower.

It is a modernized Eintossflammenwerfer by Mekugi. Basically reusable rather then disposable.

AD, its on Havenic Trading. :p I'll respond to your order later (trying out Lock On at the moment).
