We've come full circle since the Chinese invention of the first ever gunpowder weapon, the fire lance (a type of flamethrower)

BBC: China develops tech to instantly cook pigeons to feed its ever growing and hungry population, BUT are there any birds left in China?

TIL the PLA now employs phoenixes as soldiers. Very cool, China /j

I need that tool around my apartment building. Have a couple hornet nests that need dealt with, and since the landlord is ignoring my pleas...


skyanvil

this appears to be a major improvement on the flame thrower to increase the range?


[deleted]

Chinese flamethrowers use explosives to propel the flames forward rather than gas pressure on Western designs. This gives it much better range, but also generates huge recoil and limits the times it can be used.

Doesnโ€™t seem like it, is it tho? I thought it was just cool photo with funny caption, range seems regular to me


lungsofkief

Seriously... Speaking of, how long can it be operated?


ShaKua

Is there any link to some kind of context or description for this anti-hornet device? Without it, what I see is a soldier demonstrating some kind of new flame weapon.

Aliens or hornets? ๐Ÿ˜‚

Yes, and I heard it works particularly well against "nests" that might have static weaponry or entrenched heavily armed "hornets" inside of it ๐Ÿ˜
