M9A1-7 Flamethrower

The M9 Flamethrower was developed by the United States of America during the Vietnam War as a replacement for the M2 Flamethrower. The M9A1-7 was lighter than its predecessor whilst being more robust and easier to carry whilst retaining the same capacity and range. The M9A1-7 introduced a new wand referred to as the Type 7 (hence the "-7" portion of the designation), which was also fitted to a number of older M2A1 tanks (creating the M2A1-7) to supplement flamethrower numbers. The Type 7 wand was shorter and more manageable than the previous models, lacking the front pistol grip with the igniter switch instead being mounted on the right of the firing tube with a grip safety on the opposite side. M9A1 tanks can still be found today however the vast majority of the Type 7 wands were destroyed after the war so it is more common to find these tanks fitted with older Type 2 wands that were used on the previous M2 series.
