Basic Information
The M3A1 "Hellbringer" Flamethrower is pretty much a device designed with the maximum possible potential in mind. It is well over what a normal person could be expected to carry, and is expected to be used in unison with the HULC system, which provides the user with the ability to support over 200 pounds. Still, as the device is 250 pounds, it still requires the user to be exerting a large amount of force, especially if the user is wearing armor or carrying basic supplies.
In addition, the device is designed to be capable of exploiting multiple ranges. It can fire at a range of around 30 meters for up to 90 seconds, fire up to a range of 90 meters for 30 seconds, or fire up to a range of 270 meters for 10 seconds. The device uses 3 kilograms of nitrogen gas held at around 400 PSI to power the flamethrower, although the pressure can be built up much higher by adjusting the nozzle of the weapon.
The device does not use napalm, but instead uses a kerosene-based fuel with a lower concentration of benzene and an oxidizing agent, making it more difficult to put out once ignited, as well as white phosphorus. The mixture is similar to what is used in the Mark 77 bomb, which is seen as a direct predecessor over napalm.
The weapon is fired and operates like most other flamethrowers, although it is much larger and more powerful than most other, if not all other infantry designed flamethrowers. An issue with the flamethrower, however, is that as the range or power increases, the recoil becomes substantially higher. While arguably less than many firearms, the recoil experienced from pushing out a liquid at high speeds can be similar to that experienced by a fire hose, however the extreme mass of the weapon as well as the strength enhancer by the suit, as well as personal strength, should be enough to sustain any resulting backwards force.
