A '''flamethrower''' or '''flame projector''' was a weapon which fired a burning stream of liquid or gas.

==Description==
[[File:Flamethrower-BtS.png|thumb|left|250px|[[Boba Fett/Legends|Boba Fett]] using a wrist-mounted flamethrower]]
The flame projector shot a jet of ignited liquid that had a short range but inflicted great damage and could set targets on [[Fire/Legends|fire]]. They were useful in close-quarters combat and attacks on caves and bunkers. They were also effective in boarding operations.

For all their power, flame projectors had a key weakness. Because they employed volatile chemicals under pressure, the weapon could sometimes explode if damaged.<ref name="Arms & Equipment Guide" />

Flamethrowers were extremely useful against [[Lightsaber/Legends|lightsaber]] wielders as the flame could not be blocked by a blade. A skilled enough Force wielder could use the Force to shield themselves from the flames, but this took considerable effort and uncommon strength in the Force.<ref name="TES">''[[A Two-Edged Sword]]''</ref>

[[Merr-Sonn Munitions, Inc./Legends|Merr-Sonn]] and [[Czerka Arms/Legends|Czerka]] were leading manufacturers of flame projectors.<ref name="Arms & Equipment Guide" /> Some models of flamethrowers included the [[Model C-22 flame carbine]], the [[Model CR-24 flame rifle]], and the [[Oppressor flamethrower]] which was used by the [[storm commando]]s of the [[Galactic Empire/Legends|Imperial]] [[Stormtrooper Corps/Legends|Stormtrooper Corps]]. Some flamethrowers were [[Miniature flame projector|miniaturized]] so that they could be worn on the wrist, such as the [[ZX miniature flame projector/Legends|ZX miniature flame projector]] and [[CZ wrist-mounted flame projector]], [[Dash Rendar/Legends|Dash Rendar]] also modified his blaster pistol to be used as a flamethrower. Larger flamethrowers called flame cannons were mounted on vehicles such as the [[CZ-28 Flamestrike flame cannon]] and [[Model CR-28 flame cannon]].

==History==
The sale of flamethrowers was primarily restricted to legitimate military organizations and [[Law enforcement agency/Legends|police forces]].<ref name="Saga Edition Core Rulebook" />

[[File:1313-Boba_Fett_flamethrower.jpg|thumb|250px|Boba Fett using his flamethrower in a battle]]
Because of their usefulness, flamethrowers were sometimes used by [[Bounty hunter/Legends|bounty hunters]], most notably [[Durge/Legends|Durge]], [[Jango Fett/Legends|Jango Fett]], and [[Boba Fett/Legends|Boba Fett]]. [[Cad Bane/Legends|Cad Bane]] also had a flamethrower built into his wrist [[Gauntlet/Legends|gauntlets]]. [[Walon Vau]] also had one. [[Sebulba/Legends|Sebulba]], a notorious [[Dug/Legends|Dug]] [[Podracer/Legends|Podracer]], installed a flamethrower in his podracer to use against other racers. During the [[Clone Wars/Legends|Clone Wars]], [[clone blaze trooper]]s and [[Clone flame trooper|flame troopers]] had [[BT X-42 flamethrower|massive flamethrowers]] capable of melting most materials. Some [[Advanced Recon Commando/Legends|ARC Troopers]] integrated miniature flamethrowers into one of the gauntlets on their armor. Certain models of [[Assassin droid/Legends|assassin droids]] were equipped with flamethrowers, such as [[ASN-121/Legends|ASN-121]], [[IG-88 assassin droid/Legends|IG-88]], and [[L8-L9]], as well as the [[HK-series assassin droid]]s prominent during the [[Old Sith Wars]], who seemed to take perverse delight in setting their enemies on fire.<ref name="New Essential Guide to Weapons and Technology" /> The [[Secret Mandalore|Overlord]] [[Pre Vizsla/Legends|Pre Vizsla]] and his [[Death Watch/Legends|Death Watch]] warriors used flamethrowers at [[Ming Po town]] on the planet [[Carlac/Legends|Carlac]]. During the [[Jedi Civil War]], [[Revan/Legends|Revan]] may have purchased droid flamethrowers for his two droids, [[HK-47]] and [[T3-M4]], during his quest for the [[Star Forge]]. One model of droid flamethrower was the [[Baragwin flame thrower]].

The [[Galactic Empire/Legends|Galactic Empire]] and the [[Corporate Sector/Legends|Corporate Sector]] occasionally used flamethrowers against rioters, due to their horrific and demoralizing effects. Around the beginning of the [[Galactic Civil War/Legends|Galactic Civil War]], the [[Subject 1138|clone]] of [[Galen Marek]] encountered several large flamethrower-wielding [[Incinerator war droid]]s on [[Kamino/Legends|Kamino]].
