Flamethrowers were primarily used during World War I and II as infantry weapons to clear trenches, bunkers, and enemy fortifications by projecting a stream of burning fuel. They created psychological terror and effectively cleared areas of troops and equipment. In addition to military applications, flamethrowers have also been used in controlled burns for land management and agriculture. Despite their effectiveness, their use has raised ethical and humanitarian concerns due to the severe burns they can inflict.
Flamethrowers in modern warfare are primarily used for clearing out enemy positions, destroying fortifications, and creating barriers. They can impact military tactics and strategies by providing a powerful and intimidating weapon that can quickly neutralize threats and change the course of a battle. Additionally, the psychological impact of flamethrowers can demoralize enemy forces and disrupt their defenses.
First World War.
The exact number of deaths caused by flamethrowers in World War I is difficult to determine, as detailed records on specific weapon-related fatalities were not consistently kept. However, it is estimated that flamethrowers were responsible for a relatively small number of deaths compared to other weapons, with some reports suggesting that they killed several hundred soldiers during the conflict. Flamethrowers were primarily used for clearing trenches and bunkers, rather than as a primary weapon of mass destruction.
Flamethrowers were primarily designed for military use, aiming to clear enemy trenches, bunkers, and fortifications by projecting a stream of fire. They were also employed to create psychological terror, demoralizing enemy troops and forcing them to abandon their positions. Additionally, flamethrowers could be used in other contexts, such as clearing vegetation or controlling wildfires. Overall, their primary goal was to enhance combat effectiveness through destruction and intimidation.

Yes, flamethrowers are still used today, primarily by military forces for combat purposes and by certain firefighting units for controlled burns and clearing vegetation. They are also utilized in specific industrial applications, such as in agriculture for pest control and in demolition. However, their use is controversial due to ethical concerns regarding their effectiveness and the potential for causing severe harm.
Flamethrowers arnt outlawed
A World War II veteran. The US military doesn't issue flamethrowers anymore. In addition to the above, it should be noted that flamethrowers were used in Korea and Vietnam, as well.
Flamethrowers throw fire or "flames as in flamethrower" so you would never like to be in front of it.
Is this a baseball question...if so there is no team called the flamethrowers, nor has there ever been.
