This causes the soaked rag to become flammable itself, allowing it to be lit on fire. Because the fumes from the flammable liquid (which are actually what catches fire, not the liquid itself) are contained within the bottle, full ignition does not occur until the glass container is ruptured, allowing the fumes to escape. This normally happens upon impact of the Molotov against a hard surface, after being thrown. | ||

In [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]] the Molotov is more effective and can destroy a vehicle rapidly fast after one cocktail being thrown at the vehicle (providing the vehicle is in the inner circle of the blast). | ||
In [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]], the player can use the touch screen to throw Moltov Cocktails at a distance in any direction. [[Huang Lee]] can go to petrol stations marked in the [[radar]] to fill up bottles of gasoline to use as Molotov Cocktails. A minigame is associated to this with the player using the touch screen to aim the gas nozzle to the bottle and shoving a cloth into the bottle. | In [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]], the player can use the touch screen to throw Moltov Cocktails at a distance in any direction.
