Flamethrower
Imex Korean War US Army soldier with flamethrower.
This is probably the best flamethrower figure in 1/72nd scale.
Still, I wanted a kneeling flamethrower guy.
So I modified him and now he is a kneeling flamethrower guy.
The flamethrower was highly effective in situations like the island-hopping marines faced in the Pacific in WW2, but phased out of the US arsenal in 1978. Interestingly, private ownership of a flamethrower is permissible in the US, legal in 48 states but restricted in California and Maryland.
California is anti-fun. They don't let you have nice things. How many crimes are committed nationwide by military style flamethrower? Probably an average of fewer than one is my guess. Bunkermeister
