This expert guide details the Japanese Type 100 flamethrower, the standard WWII Japanese unit. It covers technical specifications like its 52lb filled weight and 3-gallon capacity, highlighting its lighter but more complex design compared to the American M2. The guide emphasizes unique features such as the segmented crank handle for independent pressure control and the 10-shot pyrotechnic igniter, while also noting tactical applications for single-target attacks and ergonomic considerations.
The US M2/M2A1 flamethrower, a significant WWII weapon, evolved rapidly from the unreliable M1. It utilized gelled fuel (napalm) for extended range and featured a reliable pyrotechnic ignition system. Safety improvements were made from the M2 to the M2A1, including a vent cap replacing the rupture disc.
