M202A1 FLASH Summary

The M202A1 FLASH (Flame Assault Shoulder Weapon) is a type of rocket launcher that was designed to be a replacement for the flamethrower, which was already coming of age after World War II. The M202A1 is lightweight, and features four tubes that can load 66mm incendiary rockets, generally filled with napalm. The rocket-launcher is also capable of firing all four rockets at once, not just one at a time. It is meant to be fired from the right shoulder, and can be fired from either standing, crouching, or prone. After firing, it can be reloaded with a clip housing four rockets.
