Advances in military technology have led to more effective and precise weapons that accomplish similar objectives without the risks associated with flamethrowers. Additionally, international laws and conventions have increasingly restricted their use due to humanitarian concerns.

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.
