The '''NA4/Defoliant Projector'''{{Ref|'''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 69''|Id=EVG}} is a type of incendiary projector used by the [[UNSC Marine Corps]], primarily by the [[Hellbringers]]. It is a designation which encompasses at least three distinct weapons.


{{Article quote|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.}}
==Variants==
===M6634/Defoliant Projector===
{{Main|M6634 flamethrower}}
The M6634 Defoliant Projector is a large weapon which fires a napalm defoliant, often fed to the weapon by an external tank carried on the user's back. It was often used by Hellbringers in the early years of the [[Human-Covenant War]], including at the [[Harvest campaign]], [[Battle for Arcadia]] and [[Battle of the Etran Harborage]]. The M6634 is compatible with the [[M301 grenade launcher]] attachment.{{Ref/Game|HW|[[campaign]]}}{{Ref|''[[Halo Wars: Official Strategy Guide]]'', chapter "Factions", section "Barracks Units"|Id=Prima}}


The '''NA4/Defoliant Projector'''<ref name="evg">'''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 69''</ref> is an incendiary projector used by the [[UNSC Marine Corps]], primarily by the [[Hellbringers]].
===M7057/Defoliant Projector===
 
{{Main|M7057 flamethrower}}
==Design detail==
The M7057 Defoliant Projector is a somewhat smaller and more portable variant. Instead of napalm, the M7057 uses Pyrosene-V for ammunition, and has a gas tank located on the back of weapon rather than on the user's back. The M7057 is more decorative, with a face of a shark painted on the heat shroud. It saw use throughout the Human-Covenant War, particularly in its latter years.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}{{Ref|''[[Halo: Silent Storm]]'', chapter 10|Id=SSIJet}}
{{Quote|Does anyone realize how heavy these things really are?|Unnamed Hellbringer Serviceman}}
 
The NA4/DP is a large and bulky; 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 name="hws"/> It continued to serve alongside the smaller and more portable variant M7057, especially after the encounter with [[the Flood]].<ref name="evg"/>
 
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.


==Variant==
At least two versions of the M7057 exist. One of these has a nozzle which extends well beyond the heat shroud, and also has a large fuel tank protruding from the rear of the weapon, which can be removed and replaced on the battlefield to refill the weapon's fuel supply.{{Ref/Game|HPC|[[Halo: Combat Evolved Manual|manual]], page 13}} The second lacked this larger fuel tank, opting for a smaller one mounted just beneath the rear handle. Its nozzle was also much shorter, only barely extending beyond the heat shroud.{{Ref/Site|URL=http://halo.bungie.net/projects/halo3/content.aspx?link=h3flamethrower|SiteName=Bungie.net|PageName=M7057 / Defoliant Projector|Id=BNet}}

==Trivia==
====M705 Incendiary Jet Tool====
The ''[[Halo Wars: Official Strategy Guide]]'' refers to the NA4 as "M6634 Defoliant System (M6634/DS)".
The M705 Incendiary Jet Tool, often nicknamed the "I-Jet", is a compact variant of the M7057 which is suitable for use in a vacuum. It is fed by a tank-pack, and uses self-oxidizing fuel. It existed in the early years of the Human-Covenant War.{{Ref/Reuse|SSIJet}}
