Please where can I find good pictures of a USA army type flamethrower? I mean the type with 2 big backpack tanks (fuel) and a smaller tank (pressurizer) in the valley between the big tanks. I have a book about that sort of thing, but in all the pictures important details such as the tubes around the bottom ends of the tanks are hidden or in shadow. (Is rhere anything on its backpack harness for the man to clip the nozzle onto when he is not using it?) I looked in http;//www.ronson.com but found there nothing but cigarette lighters; I read once that Ronson also make or made army flamethrowers. I have a plastic toy model, and it is useful for details of the handheld part and the tank filler screws but not for the tubework at the bottom.

You can some pictures of flamethrowers here. Also you can find out how it really works. www.howstuffworks.com go to the weapons section.

Umm, the US Army stopped carrying flamethrowers in their inventory since 1950. Otherwise, you'll have to look towards WW2 weapons packs. Another palce to look would be the screenshots from the game Return to Castle Wolfenstein... lots of authentic-based (and already modelled) flamethrowers there. HTH, /P

www.howstuffworks.com led to a lot of text but no useful pictures or links. Has anyone out there got access to a real USA army type flamethrower and a digital camera? I suspect that USA movie companies can get hold of army flamethrowers easily.
