Incendiary Weapons
A Flamethrower is a device which projects a jet of fire. While the Flamethrowers have other applications the most well known is as a weapon. Flamethrowers can be very destructive against wooden structures and flood rooms with a leathal inferno. Even so, one of the biggest factors about flamethrowers is psychological. People have a well established aversion to being consumed by fire, both by instinct and because being burned to death is a horrible way to go.
Historic Use
The basic mechanisms of a Flamethrower are pretty simple. All you need is a cistern for fuel, a pump, a nozzle and a pilot light.
