Flame Troopers

Flame troopers where first deployed in modern combat in World War 1 by the
Germans, at the time they where called Flammenwerfer but got the name flame
thrower from the British, it was invented by Richard Fiedler.
These machines of war consisted of either one man having a gas tank on his
back and another man holding the nozzle making sure the flame was working,
or a solo man typically wearing a gas mask and a shell shaped tank sitting on his
back, waiting in the trench using the death machine on any approaching
enemies.
Positives:
 The weapon was very affective at close range making it easily one of the
best weapons to raid a trench.
 Anyone with this weapon was defiantly the most feared thing the battle
with its ability to psychology traumatise surviving soldiers and scar them
for life.
 It had a guaranteed kill if some one was hit by the flame, they would be
burnt alive in seconds.
Negatives:
 It was a horrible weapon to use with even some soldiers who regularly
used it being disturbed by what they had done.
 It made you a target for anyone with a rifle as they saw you as a very
dangerous threat.
 Only good a close range and can easily be countered by any gun at a
distance.
 Heavy making the user nearly demobilised.
 If the tank was shot, you would be consumed in a burning ball of fire.
