2 types; back pack and tank. Several countries used them Italy, USSR, UK, France, Japan, but Germany and the US have been the two foremost operators of the man packed flamethrower. More powerful flamethrowers were used for tank armament (most notably the Churchill "Crocodile" of the 79th Armoured Division).

The Flammenwerfer 31 was the Nazi's flamethrower of choice, it shot gasoline mixed with tar, so that when the substance hit someone, it would stick and burn really badly.
