The M1 was developed fixing most of the problems as seen with the E1 and E1R1 designs. It was identified as having a longer range and better build quality than both the E1 and E1R1 prototypes, but was still considered rather heavy and was refined yet again. The final iteration of the M1 flamethrower, the M1A1 used the then-newly invented napalm as a flamethrowing agent; initial tests using the M1 showed that the original M1 design was incapable of handling napalm as a flame thickening agent, and the M1A1 was developed as a response to a request to develop a weapon based on the M1 platform that could handle napalm.

Each flamethrower is equipped with specialized high pressure O-Rings tailored exclusively for flame throwing fuel. Eliminates the chance of seal degradation and leaks. Jim H. The XL 18 is awesome. It is just as much fun to use as it looks in the video. Easy to reload with spare CO2 cylinders. Daniel B verified owner — September 9, I wanted military grade and i got it. Best 7 seconds of my life. A pressure regulator would be great and the payment an is easy to use.
Get one if you are awesome. And while you can. Ty M verified owner — September 17, Ryan S — November 16, Brian S verified owner — November 16, Christopher S.

All family and friends want to see it in action!!! It fires a. For the sake of argument, our target is feet 30 meters away, just out of range of the average flame-thrower.
The Garand, with its muzzle velocity of 2, feet meters and an effective range of around 1, feet meters should be able to hit our target easily enough and with some significant kinetic force. In relation to the type of flame-thrower to be used in our experiment, there were two different common versions: the American M2 from the Allied inventory, and the German Flammenwerfer The American M2 was a one-man flame-thrower consisting of two cylindrical fuel tanks containing gasoline.
On top was a smaller tank that was pressurized and contained non-flammable nitrogen gas or air. A longer hose led to a nozzle with an ignition system and trigger, used by the operator to fire the weapon. The FmW 35 was a one-man German portable flame-thrower. It consisted of a single cylindrical fuel tank containing three gallons of gasoline and tar mix, with a hose and trigger operated nozzle.
Piggybacked to the fuel tank was the nitrogen propellant in a small pressurized tank. It was significantly heavier than its counterparts, being 11lbs heavier than the American M2 and 22Ilbs heavier than the Japanese Type
