It did away with the disguise for the backpack, though it retained the flame projector designed to resemble a rifle. Both models carried around 9 litres (2.4 US gal) of fuel. The fuel was propelled by nitrogen gas pressurized at 115 bars (11,500 kPa) [2] and, under ideal circumstances, had a maximum range of around 45 metres (49 yd). [1]
This weapon was also known as the "skinsteal", because using this weapon at close range would usually result in severe skin loss. The burning liquid compound used produced fumes very similar to lachrymatory agents. It contained 11.8 L (2.6 imp gal; 3.1 US gal) of fuel in a single vertical cylindrical tank.
It was also called the M2-2, M2 for the tank groups and -2 for the wand type. The M2A1-2 is the variation of the M2 devised during the Korean War. These had straight sided backpack frames, vented gas caps, a cylinder sized regulator and a safety valve. These are much more common today than WWII models.

In the middle of the "doughnut" was a spherical container holding nitrogen gas as a propellant, which was pressurized to 2,000 lbf/in 2 (140 Bar). This was sufficient to propel the burning fuel 120 feet (36 metres). A hose from the fuel tank passed to the nozzle assembly which had two pistol grips to hold and aim the spray.
A flame fougasse (sometimes contracted to fougasse and may be spelled foo gas [2]) is a type of mine or improvised explosive device which uses an explosive charge to project burning liquid onto a target. [3] The flame fougasse was developed by the Petroleum Warfare Department in Britain as an anti-tank weapon during the invasion crisis of 1940.

Its function as an air-mobile, self-propelled, anti-tank vehicle was eventually replaced in Vietnam by the troubled but effective M551 Sheridan which had a fully armored turret. The USMC used the M50 Ontos , which had an armored cabin and was armed with recoilless rifles, in a similar role (the running gear of the first Ontos prototype was the ...
