Flamethrower

Flamethrower is a mechanical device designed to project a long controllable stream of fire. This weapon has appeared in each of the Grand Theft Auto games and is classified as a Heavy Weapon in the later editions.

Its most famous appearance was in one San Andreas mission, in which it was used to burn crops of marijuana so that the police forces don't find them. It is also used as a rampage weapon in one of the rampage missions.

It has a limited supply of ammunition, around 100 rounds. Every 2 shots use up 1 round. Victims will realistically catch fire, then die as charred bodies.

Use of it will normally result in one star of police attention. A direct flamethrower hit has a 100% kill rate on people.
