I doubt a standard tracer would ignite a diesel/Co2 or diesel/nitrogen mix. Maybe an api or some type of incendiary round. Lots of experiments out there where people have shot gas tanks and no large scale explosion. Maybe multiple hits after the fuel as leaked out but then again would be a lucky chance to ignite fuel like that laying on the ground. Not saying it wouldn’t, but would be a lucky shot I think.
Maybe have to go shoot some diesel cams with bullets to see now.
Off topic, but I found my recruit training grad photo:

Unsure how modern FTs differ from the WWII version but Ive read a few accounts of operators fearing the bullet in the tank as well accounts of some sort of a malf where ops were burned.
Tell me they get a leather service shoe they still have to shine please......
Skuzz Brushes.....Get 'em?
Thermite rockets work better and are safer to use.
"Raw material" that's exactly what'd be up against. Clay vs. the bronze "David". What a joke. If he's a commander, I could easily be the goddamn CIC. Broken and crippled on my worst day I can deliver more shit than he can on his best with all his youth and exuberance.
Reminds me of school days where some 15yo kid is a "commander" in some national street gang.
Color me amazed, but for some reason I feel like a tool even being around these kind of people. But marching to "My Girl's a Vegetable"? Well, you know...
How many of you that have served can imagine serving under this guy and saluting him, or whatever the fuck they do? Or calling him "sir"? God I'd give anything to see about forty of you guys (I can make a list) fall in on this guy and snap to.

For the most part same principles of operation. M9a1-2 were propelled by nitrogen and modern replicas usually use Co2 because it is easier to get probably. I’m not saying it can’t and won’t, more along the lines of it would have to be a lucky shot. Odds are more than likely in your favor.
I don’t have hard numbers but based off the number of flamethrowers used in combat, the pacific theater probably, and any instances of a system exploding due to a bullet impact is probably small?
Edit- they get HOT, a tank full will make your face feel like pretty dang hot and your hands are just the same.
edit #2- it should have read m2 not m9. Not sure where my head was

If they were that fragile Im thinking how did they get anyone to go near them.
I understand they had a pretty good "kick" and if not prepared for you might lose control of the nozzle. Im guessing its not like a metallic cartridge "kick" just some sort of pressure issue.
Which "if" the tank was breeched could lead to a spray of fuel and issues in the vicinity of same with open flame.
They're issued the plastic service shoes. Leathers are still authorized to be purchased though.
Scuzz brushes are still a thing. We almost lost them awhile back due to shenanigans, but they are still in use.

Pressure from nozzle is like a steady shove, they were pressurized to around 400 psi or so in the tanks, had a 1/2 inch feed line that squirted out of the tip hole. I am not sure on what the .mil ones had diameter wise. Most of my experience playing with a FT, the pressure has been a much tamer 200-250. That still blows some fire pretty good.
I would be interested in knowing exactly where the money came from that bailed his narrow little ass out...twice.
Many people have seen the movie - and I take advantage of that when my Collection is on display.
I show them the M1903-A4 and then the USMC sniper. Obviously I point out the difference in the optics (as well as the basic rifles and the modification required to install the different optics).
Yes, I am going to teach you about sniper rifles even if you don't want to learn. If you are not careful, you might also learn something about making movies.
This is just proof that he does not believe in his cause.
People who truly believe in a cause, know the price they may pay. And, they do so with pride, and the courage of their convictions.
His actions, and lack of pride/conviction say a whole lot about his manufactured "cause".

It would be interesting if you could get a hold of these guy's (using that term loosely) phones and get inside their contacts. There's got to be a universal law group or attorney that they are provided with to contact if they are arrested.

Id probably be "that guy" and wear leather/spit shines. Would have been a pain in the ass due to daily wear as an MSG but probably all of about 15 minutes and having two fingers marked like you just voted in Afghanistan would be the cost.
CoWorkers currently use that "paint" shit on their heels and toes of their Corcorans. My heart beats with joy when they scrape a chair and realize they will be doing autobody work to repair the damage.
One of those never forgotten lessons was taught me on the end of a footlocker in Plt 2082, 1986, PI. Sitting next to former ROTC private Willix spit shining our service shoes I asked "Willix how do you get those shoes to shine like that?"
and he replied like the sage spit shiner he was "When you are doing it right you will feel it in your fingers"
I was thinking "Im not finger banging anybody Im just trying to get my shoes shiny" and than it happened "I felt it in my fingers" and knew I had the right mix of polish, water, and pressure to create glass.
If everything else in my life goes to shit I will always have that.
Should have kept my scuzzbrush with its #42 laundry mark it was tactical.
I shit canned it at ITS when I realized I would never have to squat across a squad bay again.
Guessing getting into the sitting and kneeling positions would be a lot easier today if I had not fore saken it for the convenience of using floor cleaning tools with real handles.
I thought the sniper guy just went around with an extra Unertl scope in his gear and swapped out the 2.5x on one his A4 for a few scenes when he needed extra magnification.
Drilled, tapped and installed scope blocks while he was in the sacristy of the church prior to climbing the bell tower....
Was it just in one scene, then? 'Cause I could swear the whole rest of the time including being in the bell tower he's packing an A4, just sometimes with the Unertl (or possibly a Lyman) scope. I'd have thought IMFDB would note a rifle change; they're usually pretty on top of that and other goofs.
He pulled the Hollywood fantasy trick of mounting the Unertl on the A4 prior to the bell tower.
If you think about it its almost an insult to the guys that did the fighting for real.
Their efforts were not worthy enough a story but Hollywood will spice it up with some bullshit.
And in the rain when Vin Diesel got shot, too (and they ripped of Hathcock's through-the-scope shot, at that).
I can't figure using an 8x scope at such a relatively short range would even be useful during the bell tower part, especially a long-ass scope like the Unertl and with Jackson being left-handed using a right-handed rifle.
But on the subject of flamethrowers, I bet most folks have never seen this before:

Lol that's 'cause it was my dad's from back in the 60s. I think he qualified with the M14 at the time.
Proctology, finger bangin and spit shining....it's all in the finger feel......

My jump boots are tied up in a trash bag. Put them there the day I walked across the retirement stage. Probably look like ass right about now
Work is looking at abandoning the Corcorans for some sneaker comfortable shit.
Hey I like comfort but a uniform besides making you look uniform should be designed to force you to present at a certain expectation.
Make peeps look too comfortable and they will act "comfortable".
Kills me kids, and most adults, dont wear anything but sweatpants these days......and they act it.
Those Corcs are NOS supply found from the 60s. I grabbed as many pairs as were close, either smaller or bigger, to my size.

Couldn’t agree more. The worst thing the Army did during my tenure was go to the “wash and wear” mindset. Pressing a uniform and shining boots to look good gave us something to work for when we weren’t in the woods.
Yep, especially since flamethrower ones seem to be really rare, I'm guessing because relatively few people were in the Chemical Corps to begin with. No replacement medal/award/citation vendor I've found offers a flamethrower bar, either.
He said that the marksmanship test involved a series of concrete "bunkers". You had to direct the flame into the "bunker" opening for X amount of time with Y amount of "splash" allowed and presumably you had to get them all while the clock was ticking.
