Flamethrower (attachment)

The Flamethrower is an underbarrel attachment featured in Call of Duty: Black Ops and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III.
==Call of Duty: Black Ops==
===Campaign===
In the campaign, the Flamethrower appears equipped on an AK47 wielded by a singular enemy in the missions S.O.G. and Payback. Whenever picked up, the Flamethrower always comes with nine tanks worth of fuel in reserve and one tank of fuel loaded in the weapon. In Payback, if the player kills at least 10 Russian enemies with the Flamethrower, the player will earn the achievement/trophy Russian bar-b-q.
===Multiplayer===
The Flamethrower can be equipped on assault rifles (excluding the G11). It is available for purchase once the player has bought an assault rifle and costs . As it is an underbarrel attachmnent, it is incompatible with all other attachments through the perk Warlord.
The Flamethrower fires an invisible projectile that travels slowly to hit enemies. Should the projectile hit an enemy, it will deal fifty damage to that enemy, and two of these projectiles need to hit in order to kill. As each pull of the trigger consumes four units of fuel, the Flamethrower essentially needs eight points of fuel at minimum to kill an enemy in Core game types, and four points of fuel to kill an enemy in Hardcore game types. Regardless of how far the projectile flies, it will deal fifty damage. The Flamethrower deals no afterburn damage. If an enemy is hit by the Flamethrower but survives, the enemy will make loud audible sounds of them reacting to being burnt.
The Flamethrower has a finite range of 12.1 meters and has a fire rate of 600 RPM. The Flamethrower allows users to move at 100 percent of the base movement speed, a speed upgrade over the assault rifle it is attached to. The reload animation is 2.6 seconds long, and it cannot be shortened via Reload Cancel in most cases. However, if attached to the Commando or AK-47, the reload cancel speed is 2.2 seconds. The Flamethrower holds 100 points of fuel in each tank. As each singular pull of the trigger consumes four fuel, the Flamethrower holds 25 shots. This provides 2.5 seconds of continuous fire before reloading.
Enemies using Flak Jacket Pro have a 95% damage resistance against the Flamethrower.

==Trivia==
===Call of Duty: Black Ops===
*In campaign, the pilot light doesn't turn on at all, but in multiplayer, once turned on, it stays on even when not being used.
*If the player drops the weapon with the attachment, and then they pick it back up, the canister will be full.
*The Flamethrower attachment will give many of the assault rifles a heat shield.
*The Create-a-Class image shows the Flamethrower attached to an M16 heat shield.
*On the mission "S.O.G.", if an AK47 with the Flamethrower attachment is picked up when the US Marines are climbing the hill after the napalm barrels part, it will have 100 ammo with nine spares. If this is reloaded before it is finished, the spares will stay at nine and the ammo will refill. This effectively means that it is impossible to run out of ammo for it.
*In the campaign, this attachment appears to cause no friendly fire, similar to the Thundergun.
*A player's character will scream loudly when hit with the flamethrower in both campaign and multiplayer.
*If the player has this attachment, the pilot light's distortion effect may still be present during killcams.
*Aiming the Flamethrower at a friendly dog will turn the player's reticle blue.
*In Zombies mode on Black Ops, the flamethrower attachment was supposed to appear on the Pack-a-Punched AK-47, but was cut along with the AK-47 for unknown reasons. This can be viewed through console commands.
*In multiplayer, the flamethrower will always have Red Camouflage on it regardless of the camouflage for whatever gun the player is using.
*Oddly enough, the flamethrower will not cause red barrels to explode in multiplayer even if firing on them in point blank.
*The Flamethrower is absent in the Wii version.
