The '''NA4/Defoliant Projector'''<ref name="evg">'''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 69''</ref> is an incendiary projector used by the [[UNSC Marine Corps]], primarily by the [[Hellbringers]].
 
==Design detail==
{{Quote|Does anyone realize how heavy these things really are?|Unnamed Hellbringer Serviceman}}
 
The NA4/DP is a large and bulky; rather than being attached to the frame of the projector, the fuel tank is carried on the user's back, allowing greater fuel capacity. In addition, the weapon can use a variety of flammable defoliants to compensate for the range of atmospheric and gravitational conditions it can be used in, including highly adherent napalm and oxide-mixed fuel.<ref name="hws"/> It continued to serve alongside the smaller and more portable variant M7057, especially after the encounter with [[the Flood]].<ref name="evg"/>
 
The NA4's primary function is to rout entrenched enemies. As such, NA4 users have a high attrition rate, despite the devastating damage they can inflict, due to the exposed fuel tanks which pose a critical vulnerability. The NA4 is compatible with the [[M301 Grenade Launcher]] attachment which can be used to launch [[flashbang grenade]]s. Hellbringers often do so before rushing enemy positions.
 
==Variant==
{{Main|M7057 flamethrower}}
The M7057 Defoliant Projector is a somewhat smaller and more portable variant of the NA4/DP. Instead of napalm, the M7057 uses Pyrosene-V for ammunition, and has a gas tank located on the back of weapon rather than on the user's back. The M7057 is more decorative, with a face of a shark painted on the heat shroud. It saw use in the [[Human-Covenant War]]'s later period.<ref name="evg"/>
