flamethrower
Napalm delivery device
A flamethrower is a weapon that projects a stream of burning fuel at targets.
Military flamethrowers were used extensively in World War II and Vietnam to clear bunkers and fortifications.
Smaller versions exist for controlled agricultural burns.
The word sometimes describes anything that produces dramatic flames: The chef's flambé technique turned his pan into a flamethrower.
