The M6634/DP is one of at least two variants of the [[NA4 flamethrower|NA4/DP]] flamethrower in service with the UNSC.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}{{Ref/Reuse|Prima}} It is 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/Reuse|HWSite}} | The M6634/DP is one of at least two variants of the [[NA4 flamethrower|NA4/DP]] flamethrower in service with the UNSC.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}{{Ref/Reuse|Prima}} It is 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.

The M6634's primary function is to rout entrenched enemies. As such, M6634 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 M6634 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.{{Citation needed}} | The M6634's primary function is to rout entrenched enemies.
