@Waxer72ndVFW - I had a great uncle that was a WWII vet and was a paratrooper. He was in the 11th Airborne and was deployed to the Pacific, the Philippines to be exact. He told me that the most shocking thing about seeing combat for the first time is the sheer volume of noise. He said it was indescribable. He was in the battle to re-capture the city of Manila from Japanese occupation, which is why their division was deployed there. MacArthur wanted a paratroop division because they had been training for European style warfare which would include urban/city warfare. The majority of the pacific campaign had been amphibious landings on small islands which the marines were better suited for, but to recapture the Philippines it would involve capturing cities as well as going behind enemy lines to rescue POW’s and civilians which the paratroopers were better suited for. I know I’m kinda rambling but take the weapons in this video and multiply them by 1000 and add a few hundred artillery shells and the sounds of close air support and the bombs they’re dropping and you’ll get the idea.
I read somewhere that during WWII almost no Japanese soldiers spoke any english at all, but the one english word every Japanese soldier knew was "flamethrower".
not sure about defending your home , but should be pretty good if you are trying to defend yourself against a home , specially a assault tactical home those are nasty
The scary thing about real flamethrowers is that they aren't exactly shooting flames, like you do with an aerosol can. Or the novelty ones you can buy online. But rather, it's spraying and coating everything with a thick liquid that happens to be on fire. It's the real deal and you don't want to be anywhere near the dangerous end.
A lot of people think flamethrowers just shoot out a blast of fire, think of it more like a heavy duty super soaker squirting out pure liquid fire. You get a tiny bit of that stuff on you and that fires not going out.
Imagine seeing one line go up and just get mowed down knowing you're up next and going to die. Maybe even realize you're being used as meat to make the enemy finally run out of fire and offense while the people calling the shots will all continue to live their lives.
I feel like this would've been executed in the field where the BAR gunner was actively suppressing the bunker, while the FT moved forward and as soon as the BAR stopped suppression to reload, they would've been meet with the flamethrower. I get that there is safety precautions though.
My grandpa did this shit to caves in WW2. He definitely got ptsd from it and would constantly have nightmares where he saw men on fire running towards him from inside the caves. Fuck war
You see one Fire Ant mound: *”FIRE IN THE HOLE”* (Fire Ant alates start flying) The WW2 flamethrower veteran: 0:14 “Forget RAID, we can use Flamethrowers!”
Flamethrowers in WWII in Japan was a terrifying thing. The way those guys fought was so brutal. You got big guts to fire that this 1x. Walkaround with the tanks exposed incinerating the enemy exposed to enemy fire. You're a brave American. I salute all the vets.
Cool demo but in a real situation like on Iwo Jima and Okinawa the covering fire here wasn’t perfectly timed, the flamer took a bit too long to get into position as the gunner was reloading. In combat the flame troopers had a life expectancy of just a few minutes.
The flamethrower sometimes had to get almost on top of a cave to be effective. Heard of a case where the flamethrower was dragged back into the cave and his screams could be heard all night as they tortured him.
All i can picture is a bunch of tight quarters and trenches. The BAR gunner shooting and the flamethrower running around the corner into enemy territory just to spray a bunch of flaming napalm/gasoline onto them. I can’t even imagine.
Except the tanks wouldn't explode. Knock you on your ass by venting all the pressure maybe but you're not getting cooked unless it was an incendiary round.
Something tells me that the two of them really dislike that hill of dirt.
Or ant's? 🤔

It was an ant hill. Emphasis on the word *was*

@@MrRafagigapryou see, you don’t need to defend a home if there is no home to defend. So a flamethrower is the perfect home defense weapon.

Laundry soap and gasoline in the correct proportions.
Napalm
They shoot a flammable liquid which is ignited at the nozzle. So it's kinda shooting flames which then ignites the target.
@@50buttfish its gasoline mixed with styrofoam to make it sticky. really nasty stuff
@@tictactoe101 yeah thats napalm
I knew flamethrowers had to have some kind of range to be an effective weapon,
BUT GOD DAMN!
Look up the Churchill Crocodile, literally a tank with a flamethrower attached

@AcidAroma it depends, sometimes when they shot diesel fuel it would burn quickly but napalm would burn slow

horrible way to die, even more horrible if you survive.. luckily those things arent popular anymore on modern day battlefields.
@@johnnymclaneutah Arent they effective to clean enemy trenches?
@@scothf1273 I think they used them to clear Pill Boxes, if you look at some of the Ukraine/Russian trench warfare, they use rifles and hand grenades.

Shit, I guess suicide vests exist for a reason.
I didn't know they used a flare/sparkler for an ignition source, that's neat!
I think they do that because there aren't many of the proper igniter cartridges that the M2 is supposed to use around anymore.
He used an original that wouldnt light by pulling the trigger. So he used a propane torch to get it going
They used a 5-6 shot flare revolver, basically. Each one would give you something like a ten second window to fire.

I'm not a specialist, but to my knowledge, napalm wasn't used in flamethrowerd due to it being so chunky and sticky

Isnt a flame thrower and napalm different?
So what is the range on this bad boy?
I heard roundup works just as well.
Thus the nightmare I get when playing "WW2 Battle Combat" (a first person shooter game,) the enemies I fear the most are flamethrower players.
are the flamethrowers in this game have as much range as in the video?

I dont' how I feel about having a flame thrower on my back in times of war.
but in helldivers 2 it goes a whopping 5 feet
Bro's getting some flashbacks
Pov when you played too much world at war call of duty:
Tactical ants are now tactical fire ants
This is not napalm, just a fuel oil mixture. Only tanks could shoot napalms with its chunkier thicker consistency
That patch of grass owes Jim $10, and Jim don't make change.
The bad thing abt flamethrowers in ww2 is when they were shot they would explode setting fire around them
The only genuinely scary part is that in war they would aim for the gas tanks on the back to explode the person
Except the tanks wouldn't explode. Knock you on your ass by venting all the pressure maybe but you're not getting cooked unless it was an incendiary round.
