An '''incendiary weapon''' is a weapon designed to start fires or destroy sensitive equipment using incendiary materials.
A '''flamethrower''' is a military assault weapon that projects a stream of blazing oil or gasoline against enemy positions. It consists of one or more fuel tanks, a cylinder of compressed gas to supply the propelling force, and a flexible hose with a trigger-nozzle that ignites and sprays the fuel. Portable flamethrowers are carried on the backs of ground troops; larger units may be installed on tank turrets.


'''Flamethrower''' can refer to two weapons:

Incendiary projector may refer to the following:

United Nations Space Command[edit]

UNSC incendiary-based weapons rely on a chemical process between metal powders and oxides to create high temperatures, with no explosion. Commonly, aluminum and iron (III) oxide are used in the reaction; temperatures an upward of 2500 °C (4500 °F).

Flamethrowers
Other incendiary weapons
  • Napalm grenade - See Napalm on Wikipedia.
  • Thermite-carbon cord - A type of incendiary device used by the UNSC. It consists of a long wire of a thermite-carbon alloy, with a charge used to ignite it.
  • Thermite paste - Used by the UNSC for stealth missions where soldiers may encounter steel doors or other obstacles.
  • Thermite grenade - A type of explosive incendiary ordnance used by the UNSC. The flames from the thermite grenade can burn underwater.

Covenant[edit]

Covenant incendiary projector weapons uses gel containing a stable yet hazardous chemical mixture containing Caesium. It burns at approximately 2200 °C (4200 °F) and will not burn underwater.

  • Assault cannon - incendiary projector variant of the standard Fuel Rod Gun utilized only by the Mgalekgolo. Fires in a mortar-like green projectiles, or in a searing continuous beam of incendiary gel, which burns when it contacts oxygen.
