Fig 2. Firing with liquid fuel.
Fig 3. Firing with thickened fuel. Thickened fuel has longer range than liquid fuel and burns on target for several minutes.
d. “Shoot around corners,” when fuel is fired from dead or blind angles. This is made possible by the billowing and swirling movements of flaming gases. Blazing thickened fuels also ricochet from wall to wall in fortifications.
e. Cause the enemy to close ports, temporarily putting the emplacement out of action and thus protecting the demolition party.
f. Mop up dug-in personnel.
g. Eliminate enemy nests in street or jungle fighting.
