CMK P35011 M2 Flamethrower 3D

M2 Flamethrower is an American flamethrower from World War II and the post-war period. The first copies of this weapon entered service in 1943 and remained in it until 1978. In the basic version, the weight of the weapon in the "empty" configuration was 19.5 kg, and in the combat configuration - about 31 kg. The effective range of the shot from this weapon was up to 20 meters, but the maximum range was around 40 meters. The presented flamethrower was designed by US Army Chemical Warfare Service as the successor to the M1 and M1A1 flamethrowers used so far. Compared to its predecessors, it differed in the use of a new, more efficient, flammable liquid, as well as the use of a new ignition system capable of firing up to 6 shots of up to 9 seconds each. Most often it is assumed that M2 Flamethrower underwent its baptism of fire during the fighting in the Marianas in 1944. It was also later used in further fights in the Pacific, but also in the Korean War (1950-1953), but also in the Vietnam War (1964 / 1965-1975).
