The '''flamethrower''' is a mechanical device designed to project a long controllable stream of fire. This weapon has appeared in every [[Grand Theft Auto]] game since the first [[Grand Theft Auto 1|Grand Theft Auto]], except in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] and [[The Lost and Damned]]. It is classified as a Heavy Weapon in the later editions. The [[Grand Theft Auto III]] rendition of the flamethrower is based somewhat on the US Army M2-2 flamethrower, albeit lacking a backpack fuel tank, and adopting a rifle like design. The renditions after GTA III are not based on any known flamethrower design.

The flamethrower can do damage over a large area. Any vehicles or pedestrians will be instantly set on fire within range. Most pedestrians usually die when lit on fire and only the healthiest car will survive the fire. Fire can be put out by the fire hose on a [[Firetruck]] or, in GTA San Andreas, with a [[Fire Extinguisher]]. Special vehicles that are fireproofed will be immune from damage from the flamethrower. It is one of the two only weapons that can destroy a [[Rhino]].

The flames from the flamethrower will only damage vehicles and pedestrians. In GTA San Andreas only, the flames can be created on the ground and can spread. The flames on the ground will not affect pedestrians but can affect vehicles and the player. If a pedestrian catches on fire, the pedestrian will usually run wildly until his or her death.
The flames from the flamethrower will only damage vehicles and pedestrians. In GTA San Andreas only, the flames can be created on the ground and can spread, making the fire extremely hard to put out if one is started with the flamethrower, even if only one little flame was made to start out with. The flames on the ground will not affect pedestrians but can affect vehicles and the player. If a pedestrian catches on fire, the pedestrian will usually run wildly until his or her death.
 
If you activate the flame thrower in front of a mirror, the fire will not show up on it.

Flamethrowers are mainly used in [[rampages]] and kill frenzies in [[Grand Theft Auto 2]], [[Grand Theft Auto III]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]]. In GTA 2, a [[Fire Truck]] is equipped with the flamethrower in the mission [[Flame-It!]] (Fire Truck Fun!). In GTA San Andreas, the flamethrower is prominently used in the mission [[Are You Going to San Fierro?]] where [[Carl Johnson]] uses a flamethrower to destroy [[The Truth]]'s crops in [[Leafy Hollow]]. In GTA Liberty City Stories, it is used in the mission [[Friggin' the Riggin']], in where [[Toni Cipriani]] uses a flamethrower collected from [[Phil Cassidy|Phil Cassidy's]] [[Phil Cassidy's Fully Cocked Gun Shop|Fully Cocked Gun Shop]] to destroy fake ballot papers, [[Forelli Family]] members and vans and two printing machines. In GTA Vice City Stories, it is used in the mission [[Light My Pyre]] by [[Diego and Armando Mendez|Armando Mendez]], who uses a flamethrower to confront and kill [[Victor Vance]], who ends up killing Armando in the end.

The Flamethrower in GTA III.
The Flamethrower in GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas, GTA Liberty City Stories, and GTA Vice City Stories.

"Beware psychopaths and over-enthusiastic barbequers with this weapon. Fine for use in south-east Asia, but on the streets of Vice City, it is nothing but a menace.
-Vice City Bureau of Investigation file description.


The Flamethrower is a mechanical device designed to project a long controllable stream of fire. This weapon has appeared in every Grand Theft Auto game since the first Grand Theft Auto 1, except in Grand Theft Auto IV, The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony. It is classified as a Heavy Weapon in the later editions. The Grand Theft Auto III rendition of the flamethrower is based somewhat on the US Army M2 Flamethrower, albeit lacking a backpack fuel tank, and adopting a rifle-like design. The renditions after GTA III are not based on any known flamethrower design, but they may be homebuilt.

Effects

The flamethrower can do damage over a large area. Any vehicles or pedestrians will be instantly set on fire within range. Most pedestrians usually die when lit on fire and only the healthiest car will survive the fire. Fire can be put out by the fire hose on a Firetruck or, in GTA San Andreas, with a Fire Extinguisher. Special vehicles that are fireproofed will be immune from damage from the flamethrower. It is one of the two only weapons that can destroy a Rhino, the other being Molotov Cocktail.

The flames from the flamethrower will only damage vehicles and pedestrians. In GTA San Andreas only, the flames can be created on the ground and can spread, making the fire extremely hard to put out if one is started with the flamethrower, even if only one little flame was made to start out with. The flames on the ground will not affect pedestrians but can affect vehicles and the player. If a pedestrian catches on fire, the pedestrian will usually run wildly until his or her death.

If you activate the flame thrower in front of a mirror, the fire will not show up on it.

Appearances

Flamethrowers are mainly used in Rampages and Kill Frenzies in Grand Theft Auto 2, Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories. In GTA 2, a Fire Truck is equipped with the flamethrower in the mission Fire Truck Fun!. In GTA San Andreas, the flamethrower is prominently used in the mission Are You Going to San Fierro? where Carl Johnson uses a flamethrower to destroy The Truth's crops in Leafy Hollow. In GTA Liberty City Stories, it is used in the mission Friggin' the Riggin', in where Toni Cipriani uses a flamethrower collected from Phil Cassidy's Fully Cocked Gun Shop to destroy fake ballot papers, Forelli Family members and vans and two printing machines. In GTA Vice City Stories, it is used in the mission Light My Pyre by Armando Mendez, who uses a flamethrower to confront Victor Vance, who ends up killing Armando in the end.
