What are the disadvantages of flamethrowers?

Flamethrowers have several disadvantages, including limited range due to the short reach of the ignited fuel, the potential for backfire or explosion if not used properly, and the risk of causing unintended collateral damage or starting uncontrollable fires. Additionally, flamethrowers are often heavy and cumbersome to carry, making them impractical for extended use in combat situations. Furthermore, the intense heat and flames produced by flamethrowers can also pose a significant risk to the operator if not handled with extreme caution.

How were flamethrowers used in World War 1?

Flamethrowers are complex weaponry that must be handled with care. The flamethrowers are just gas tanks with a tube that leads to a nozzle where at the tip of the nozzle is an ignition point where a small spark of flame is produced. Once the gas is released by the trigger the gas will react with the ignition point and cause fire to be burned in that very direction that is appointed to. Flamethrowers were first used in WWI by the Germans, the first battle in which they were used being on February 26, 1915, against the French near Verdun. It's intitial reception caused terror among the troops - after all, it was a huge stream of fire being shot at them. However, they were bulky and difficult to use, not to mention that the operator was carrying a large pack filled with flammable gas on his back in the middle of a war, so never became a widely used weapon.
