Morten Kristoffersen "and there is no free oxygen under water, so they cannot burn under water." Dead wrong, not only is there oxygen in water fish gills filter the oxygen out. That being said you are right, if you go underwater long enough the napalm will burn all the available oxygen in seconds. White phosphorous is very nasty stuff, the firebombing of Dresden was done with white phosphorus killing over 20% of the population and burning 80% of the city to the ground. It was used in several of the worst allied war crimes in WW2, it's not supposed to be used against civilian populations anymore, but it can still be used in combat If I'm correct.

Just so you guys know, the vast majority of flamethrowers do not explode if you shoot the fuel tanks. Flamethrowers use 2 fuels that must be mixed before they can ignite. The fuels are stored separately, hence the 2 fuel tanks worn on the back. Shooting the tanks would only depressurize the fuels, making it to where the flamethrower could no longer fire. Honestly, shooting the tank just means that the soldier no longer has to carry a really heavy fuel tank around. He would probably not mind having the burden removed. Tank mounted flamethrowers either have the fuel tanks protected inside the tank or transported on a trailer. In the case of the internal fuel tanks, anything that would set those off would have killed the crew anyway, so no big deal.

There are two tanks of deisel and aviation gas 50/50 mixture, and one smaller tank of compressed air. If you shoot up flamethrower tanks they leak, and can then be ignited. A hot round sparking through the metal tanks could ignite the mixture and cause it to actually explode. If that explosion also ruptures the compressed air the explosion would be utterly catastrophic. The chances of either aren't 100%, but they are most certainly not 0%.

Just incase anybody was wondering.. if you shoot a flamethrower tank that is full and pressurized, it doesn't explode. It just renders the weapon useless. The force from the tank rapidly depressurizing would most likely knock you on your ass... but unless any of that fuel vapor gets close enough to the ignitor then there will be no fiery death. Now, I could be wrong, I'm not an expert on flamethrowers.. but they have 2 triggers. 1 to shoot out the gas/napalm mix, and the other to activate the pilot light. If the pilot light is not activated while the tank is ruptured = no fire, no explosion. However if I got any of this wrong please correct me

I think they're also factoring in the flamethrower equipped to some tanks and hell yes I'll believe they shot that far based on the videos I seen. But I don't know, maybe in the right wind conditions they can shoot very far.

The two tanks on the side would hold 2.5 gallons of gasoline (about 15 seconds of burn time or 5-7 bursts) while the center tank was the pressure tank. They were made with reinforced steel and rounded so when shot they would most likely ricochet instead of explode

well contrary to popular belief, you wouldn't go out in a huge fire ball like in the movies because they used flammable gas for safety reasons. the gelled fuel / napalm that the USA used was hard to ignite so it'd just trickle out. probably the same with other nations too, but with a liquid fuel. the only part that'd explode is the pressurized gas tank, even then it'd only really push over the operator or maybe send some shrapnel about. incendiary rounds were pretty much the only worry because only they could set off the fuel.

@@boogie3718 surprisingly not very, mainly used in interceptor aircraft against other aircraft or bombers. unless it's a smoke round or grenade ,they were good for burning shit due to being (i think) white phosphorous. Don't think it's true? thats the tactic they used against German tanks, because it set the over burdened engines on fire on most if not all heavy / medium panzers.

Their were over three times as many Soldiers fighting in the pacific than Marines(Army sent 22 divisions, Marines sent 6). The Marines didn't even participate in many important battles in the Pacific, (Corregidor, Aleutians, Phillipines, Borneo, New Guinea, Burma). The Army did most of the fighting on both fronts, the Marines did most of the bragging.

Fleece Johnson Notice how many of the Army's major battles were losses. Now look at the major battles of Marines. Victory. Most Army units were garrison units. Marines were at the front with a few army units. Just did more detailed research. 5 Army divisions saw combat, 22 were deployed and garrisoned on ships and captured islands.

An interesting subject but shallow research is evident. What was added to the gasoline as a thickening agent-oil? If so what weight oil-what was the mixture ratio of gas to oil? What type igniter was used in the flame tank-mechanical flint or electrical spark? What was the air pressure required for the flame tank? Was the air compressor inside the tank or were air cylinders in the tank charged from an external source??

I’m surprised they didn’t put a metal wall around the edge of the trailers that were carrying the fuel for those tanks. Would have slashed their vulnerability considerably since all the enemy had to fire at was a wall of metal, IF they got a clean shot at it.
