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.
