About

C 3, FM 20-33 :•b. M202 Rocket Launcher. This standard fires a rocket warhead containing pyrophoric fuel-a fuel that ignites spontaneoqsly on exposure to air. Since exposure occurs on impact, no fuel is wasted by burning enroute to the target. This weapon has a greater range than either portable or mechanized flamethrowers, and can be used in most areas in which flamethrowers are used. Ammunition (M74 rocket clip) is available as a class V item of supply. c. Mechanized and Portable Flamethrowers. These flame . weapons deliver burning fuel on the target. Two types of fuel are available for weapons: thickened and unthickened. A tnjckening agent is currently available as a class V item of supply. Thickened fuel gives greater range and accuracy because it is projected as a rod (fig 1-l). The thickened fuel sticks to the target and burns with intense heat.
