GalahadA simple 3d model based on a fairly mysterious German world war 2 single-shot flame thrower, hence its German name the "Einstossflammenwerfer" Such single-shot but not single-use (as they could have been refueled) flame throwers were most likely intended as simple and easily mass-produced armaments to arm Volkssturm militiamen during the end of ww2 when the Nazi regime had serious troubles with materials and manufacturing thanks to the near endless bombing runs on German factories and other manufacturing facilities by allied bombers so in essence these things were akin to the more famous late war German panzerfausts or fliegerfausts.
These flame throwers consisted of a simple welded pressurized 1.7L/0.45-gallon fuel tank, an explosive compression ignition cartridge to light the fuel and then it's grip and trigger system which would let the fuel tank depressurize releasing a single short half-second burst of fuel which would then be ignited by an ignited and burning ignition cartridge. This weapon would have been effective at distances of 27 meters (89 feet) to 40 meters (130 feet) at maximum. About 30,700 individual examples of these flamethrowers were ever produced from 1944 to 1945.
This model and renders were commissioned by wild arms research and development to be used in their new book titled "Flame assault shoulder weaponry m202A1 flash"
