Steve Greenberg Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Hello, Last Sat. I fired an original M3 flame thrower from my M3A1 Stuart tank. It was kind of scary, fun and hot all at the same time!!! That was the first time I have ever experience that. We were shooting a show for the Smithsonian Channel that will air sometime this coming summer. Thanks, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddy8men Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I take my hat off to you, things could have got a little crispy in there if there was a malfunction ! I have always wanted to get a Churchill crocodile working, maybe one day :cool2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeePig Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Was there any forest left afterwards? trevor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfire Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I wonder if we can fit one to our M3 Stuart? It'd certainly be more fun than the propane gun that's currently fitted Cheers, Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Greenberg Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 Terry, The M3 flame throwers are very hard to find. I do not own the one that was mounted in my tank. It belongs to a collector in New York. I have my tank set up to fire 37MM blanks. Here are a couple links to youtube videos: Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we met some of the veterans who used them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read somewhere that flamethrowers are not illegal in USA, so I am sure you can have one fabricated. Won't be authentic, but would perform.
