Napalm is a sticky glue, trust me. It´s not possible to use in a FT.

So the burn of napalm is something you have to imagine or use some grenades for

Unless you got the call airstrike or artillery skill.

Well crap... This game was completely believable w/ creatures, jedi, and speeders but seriously.. telling me I've got napalm in my flamethrower... well that's just ludicrous..

My flamer uses a mix of ewok and durni organics (the trick is to set the blender on 'medium'), some reactive gas and a unit of radioactive.

durni?! Awww man I was using Gnort No wonder it kept squeeking every time I fired off the darned thing

I am so tired of people comparing real world weapons, vehicles, physics, etc to ingame items/effects...Lightsabers wouldn't be possible in our Real World either...isn't it possible, whether you think a FT can shot napalm or not, that in the SWG universe if they can make a little laser sword weapon, that they could figure out a way to make a FT shot Napalm? come on...

thats why my flamer is better than yours lordS. It goes 'yubyub' and then it does the durni squeal as it fires. Its spiritually uplifting.

Supension of belief. Just smile, set something on fire, and feel happy Besides, its a game and is legal. Chasing your neighbor with a can of hairspray and a zippo will get you locked up.

"Chasing your neighbor with a can of hairspray and a zippo will get you locked up."

not if you do it properly.

I use really big hairspray cans.

You should realy look a little more. Though yes it is glue like, butwhen stored under pressure it's glue like properties are none existant. There is such a thing as a napalm FT, but it is not used in real life because of two reasons. 1) Because the napalm is stored under huge pressure one bullet would cause suchan explosion. 2) Flame throws are banned from war use because they are inhuman.

"While variations to the working pressure were not such a problem finding the best fuel type took a considerable of experimental effort. The result was Geletrol which was formally accepted by the General Staff as fuel thickener in October 1944. It was made by combining various weights of the dried chemical compound Aluminium Oleate with petrol, diesel or a petrol‑diesel mix. The type of fuel used and the percentage mixture depended on the intended use."

Aluminum oleate is the aluminum soap of oleic acid, the guy that invented Napalm mistakenly thought he was using palmitic acid. I rigged my flamethrower to shoot flaming turds. It may not kill them, but it sure does piss them off.
