NA4 flamethrower: Difference between revisions
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
(We don't know that the NA4 was succeeded by the M7057. I've changed the article to the present tense as we don't know whether the weapon was phased out. The NA4 is not a defoliant projector, either.) |

The '''NA4 flamethrower''' is | The '''NA4 flamethrower''' is an incendiary projector used by the [[UNSC Marine Corps]], primarily by the [[Hellbringers]]. Similar in function to the [[M7057/Defoliant Projector]], the NA4 is much larger and bulkier; rather than being attached to the frame of the projector, the fuel tank is carried on the user's back, allowing greater fuel capacity. In addition, the weapon can use a variety of flammable defoliants to compensate for the range of atmospheric and gravitational conditions it can be used in, including highly adherent napalm and oxide-mixed fuel.<ref>[http://www.halowars.com/GameInfo/barracks.aspx#flamethrower '''Halo Wars Official Site:''' ''Flamethrower'']</ref> It is unknown whether the weapon was phased out of service or continued to serve alongside the smaller and more portable M7057. | ||
The NA4's primary function is to rout entrenched enemies. As such, NA4 users have a high attrition rate, despite the devastating damage they can inflict, due to the exposed fuel tanks which pose a critical vulnerability. The NA4 is compatible with the [[M301 Grenade Launcher]] attachment which can be used to launch [[flashbang grenade]]s. Hellbringers often do so before rushing enemy positions. | The NA4's primary function is to rout entrenched enemies.
