Flamethrowers

Flamethrowers were made in 1901 and were invented by Richard Fielder. it was used to flush soldiers out the trenches to out in the open. The Germans used flamethrowers in more than 300 battles. t shot flames farther and for a longer time. Early flamethrowers could hit targets ranging from 20 to 40 yards away from the operator. They were used effectively against British positions to flush soldiers out of their trenches and into the open. They were a very terrifying weapon, that intimidated a lot of people.
