Flamethrowers are fucked up...

You don't have to listen to the screams if you're inside the tank, but sadly you're missing out if you're not popping out of the commander's hatch.

>Third Degree

The most serious of all burns are third-degree burns, in which all the layers of skin are destroyed. Sometimes third-degree burns also affect underlying tissue. They extend deeper into the skin and destroy all of the epidermis and dermal layers, extending to the subcutaneous layers. This turns the skin brown or black, gives it a leathery appearance, and often causes the skin to separate from the surrounding tissue. The nerve endings are destroyed from the burn and therefore these burns usually are not painful.

Lmao at being softer than a bald monk that wears bedsheets all day

3rd degree burns destroys everything including the nerve endings. There's nothing to send pain signals.

How could we maximize the range of flame tanks and put them on a more modern platform today?

>those oranage robe wearing monks can meditate silently while on fire
They take powerful drugs before doing that, user, are you that naive?

This sounds like something I would have believed when I was 11. kek

Thermobarics and incendiary munitions. More effective than flamethrowers.

yeah...and well medical professionals also.

As someone who works in veterinary medicine even just exposing the fascia(through burning the skin off) is extremely painful unless your destroying the nerves in deeper tissue that only make sense for the dermis

Ive heard that there isnt any screaming because they cant breathe from the smoke, so the scariest thing is the woosh of the flame thrower itself. Can any user tell me if this is true or if its just an army ghost story?

>Whats worse than hearing the high pitched wailing of a scared boy as he mourns for his own death and writhes in unbelievable pain?
Watching clouds of gas roll over you and your compatriots as their flesh begins to boil and they begin vomiting and having convulsions that cause their spines to snap in half due to violent convulsions.

>Ive heard that there isnt any screaming because they cant breathe
No thats not true at all because not being able to inhale has no effect on the air already in your lungs its like saying people cant yell underwater because theres water everywhere.

I head they smell like general tzos chicken

I’m having a deja vu

Anyone who didn't know this is fucking retarded. I think I knew this when I was a Cub Scout, and I'm sure it was repeated in the absolutely rudimentary battlefield first aid training that all Marines get in boot camp.

Only doesn't hurt AFTER the nerves are burnt.
Like when you're at the hospital you don't feel the 3rd degree burn.
You for sure feel the whole time you're burning.
It hurts like hell you retard.

The process of getting them hurts, but there is generally little to no pain afterwards due to destroyed nerve endings.

This. However, it is useless trying to argue with the retards in this thread who think it wouldn't hurt. They are the type of faggot who thinks they are operator as fuck and could totally slap red hot iron to themselves after taking a shot from a rifle.

It's interesting to think most of the time flamethrowers kill by asphyxiation and carbon monoxide poisoning.

After the nerves die it doesn’t hurt- the part that hurts is the healing process.

Its pretty rewarding
They let us spec ops guys use smaller versions mounted on the ends of our scars and acrs that really help with room clearing
Bonus cool factor for being able to cook MREs in like 2 seconds

Wait, those arent standard issue are they????

Can confirm.
Burnt a good portion of skin off of my right calf and it definitely was not horrifyingly painful. In fact the experience was so banal I never experienced years of intense pain after the accident or even any nightmares that caused me to wake up screaming.

Nope, literally the midst common killing mechanism of ww2 flamethrowers.
Oddly enough a simular deathly form of irony came from a much more modern "flamethrower" the thermobaric Schmel rocket launcher is primarily meant to kill through blast overpressure however in practice it more often than not kills it's victims by method of fragmentation.
The household structure, furniture and skeletal/ dental remains of other fighters proved to be the main cause of death for many people targeted with this weapon in the southern caucuses.

You a fucking gook op?

>being this new

So, why all this talk of flamethrowers when the real roaster is to be stuck inside a burning tank? I would say that in number of cases that would be a more common way to die by fire in battle.

Of course you also get hot times when your city gets firebombed but nobody care about collateral damage anyway.

it only takes 7-8 seconds for the Tank to be empty, nothing is silent by that time

>flamethrowers are fucked up
thats the point. its a psychological deterrent. Being shot is scary because death and pain is scary, but theres a level of abstraction necessary to logically process that fear, and you dont necessarily see it coming. We've only been shot with anything but arrows at for a few hundred years, and only a few thousand as far as arrows go (which again are a little different since you can usually see them coming in battle).

On the other hand, humans have always feared fire. We learn as little kids, whether modern or tribal, to be careful around fire and to not get too close. Most of us burned ourselves at some point and learned quickly that fire is very very scary and painful. Its engrained in our most basic evolutionary circuitry, hell thats why orange and red (the colors of fire) are colors of warning. So tell me whats more effective at getting a hardened, dedicated, oftentime zealous to a point of near insanity soldier to flee from his ambush spot? Spraying the general direction down with high speed lead balls he cant even see, or sending massive fireballs his way that strike fear deep into his subconcious?

Flamethrowers wouldnt even be that useful of a weapon for anything outside of bunker and tunnel clearing were it not for the psychological factor of every single human having a strong drive not to want to get burned. SMGs have more capacity, range, precision, and are far more reliable and lightweight, but they don't strike fear into the enemy like the primordial horror of a firebreathing dragon.

theyre fucking sick.

People claiming it doesn’t hurt are mentally retarded. I’ve had third degree burns on my hand at it was one of the most painful experiences of my life. The healing process was a bitch and I couldn’t move my fingers without pain shooting up my arm. And yes my nerves were burnt and damaged, still hurt like a motherfucker.

Honestly I want a crop duster that drops boiling oil

>wailing
>no air in lungs because of being surrounded by flame

I don't think that people killed with flame throwers are in an unbelievable amount of pain. Depending on the accelerant it'd likely just burn off their nerve endings so they wouldn't feel anything.

I'll have you know my dad works at the Nintendo firestation

cringe

user, you have nerves all throughout your body, you can literally feel pain inside your bones.

Lost

Yeah and? If you ever research when people were burned at the stake they use to beg for people to throw things onto the fire so it burned hotter and wouldn't hurt as much, where fires that were not as hot would induce lots more pain. I don't really think the nerve endings in your bone would be a big deal unless only parts of you are getting cooked through and the bone starts to heat up and make the stuff in there start to get damaged from contact with it, short of a limb or something that'd probably shut down some vital organs or create enough smoke to kill you first.

and yes before you ask i was that weird goth kid that looked this kind of stuff up, ok

Flamethrowers are a cowardly and savage weapon, it's a not a coincidence americans were the main employers of such a disgusting tool
