There was a very limited use of flamethrowers in WW I, due to the weight and limited range (about 20 yards). Much of the fuel is consumed before the flame gets to the target. In later years, the range was extended by the use of a high pressure compressed gas to push the liquid fuel, and by the use of thickening agents. These made the fuel more like a thin jelly than a liquid, and limited fuel being burned up on the way to the target. Contrary to common belief, flamethrowers were mainly intended for use against a fortified position, and cause death not only by heat, but by consuming the oxygen from the air inside the fortification. Flame weapons were removed from the US Military in 1978 due to concerns about their usefulness and legality.

How many people died from flamethrowers in World War 1?
The exact number of deaths caused by flamethrowers in World War I is difficult to determine, as detailed records on specific weapon-related fatalities were not consistently kept. However, it is estimated that flamethrowers were responsible for a relatively small number of deaths compared to other weapons, with some reports suggesting that they killed several hundred soldiers during the conflict. Flamethrowers were primarily used for clearing trenches and bunkers, rather than as a primary weapon of mass destruction.
Why were flamethrowers not effective in World War 1?
Flamethrowers were not effective in World War I primarily due to the challenges of mobility and the prevailing trench warfare tactics. Their limited range and the need for operators to get close to enemy positions made them vulnerable to counterattacks. Additionally, the effectiveness of flamethrowers was hindered by the muddy and unstable terrain, which often made it difficult to maneuver and deploy them effectively. Lastly, the psychological impact was significant, but the actual tactical utility was limited in the context of the war's overall strategies.
