Reload:
Time required to reload the fuel cylinders and recharge the air cylinder with an air compressor, completely, in minutes. Time is with thickened/unthickened fuel.Range (Thickened): Range with thickened fuel. This is gasoline, diesel, or other fuel, made thicker with various additives (which can be as simple as dish soap or glycerin).
Range (Unthickened): Range with straight fuel or oil, not thickened by additives.
Hydroar LC T1 M1
Notes: This Brazilian-made flamethrower has proliferated throughout the Third World, particularly in Latin America and the Middle East. The weapon is designed to use a wide variety of fuel, normally a mix of gasoline and diesel, but it may also use AvGas, fish oil, or vegetable oil. The ignition is electrical, and there is no pilot light to go out. The LC T1 M1 may also spray irritant gas. The air cylinder may be charged with compressed air or compressed nitrogen.

LPO-50
Notes: This is the standard man-portable flamethrower for Russia and her allies. It is normally issued only to combat engineers for special missions. It was often used by the Warsaw Pact in urban warfare, but not normally encountered outside of that context, except where some strongpoints are encountered.

M-9A1
Notes: This US-designed flamethrower was largely out of service by US and NATO forces at the start of the Twilight War, but was still used by many allies of the US, and by Vietnam, who inherited many of them from the retreating US and defeated South Vietnamese forces at the end of the Vietnam War. They were brought partially back into service for attacking strongpoints during the Twilight War.

TPO-50 Flamethrower Trailer
Notes: his is a heavy flamethrower used by the combat engineers of the Warsaw Pact and their allies. The unit consists of four flamethrower guns mounted on a trailer, each fed by its own fuel tank, and a common air cylinder. The result is gruesome to say the least; the TPO-50, when fired at a target, does the damage of four flamethrowers fired simultaneously. Thus, 4 rolls per body part are made to see whether it catches on fire, four rolls per item or structure, etc., though only one roll to hit is made against each target. If catastrophic failure indicates that a pilot light has gone out, only one of the four pilot lights has gone out, instead of all of them. The unit must be manhandled to sweep fire across an area, but the TPO-50 has such a wide arc of fire that the flamethrowing arc is the same as a normal man-portable flamethrower.
