"A variety of mixtures have been created for work in various atmospheric and gravitational conditions, but they all work similarly to fry just about anything."
— Description of the NA4 flamethrower

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.[1] 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 grenades. Hellbringers often do so before rushing enemy positions.
