Flamethrower

From Traxus

The flamethrower is an extremely powerful close-range weapon which incerinates anything caught in its cloud of flame. It is generally difficult to find on net maps, as it unbalances the game for as long as the flamethrower-using player is alive.

The technical name for the flamethrower is the "TOZT-7 Napalm Unit".
