Handflammpatrone DM34 disposable incendiary weapon

A simple 3d model and renders based on the Handflammpatrone DM34 a single-use and shot disposable handheld incendiary launcher that was issued to the German armed forces from 1976 up to 2001

Manufactured by Buck Chemisch-Technische Werke GmbH or "Buck KG" The launchers were simple yet light single-use incendiary weapons weighing just over half a kilogram at 625 grams. Their simplicity can be seen well in the simple way their folding pistol grip safety works, when not in use the launchers pistol grip would simply be folded over preventing access to the trigger, if one were to want to use the weapon they just had to fold the grip open exposing the trigger and till it's spring-loaded locking plungers lock the grip so it won't collapse on you by accident.

When fired the weapon would launch a shell/cartridge filled with red phosphorous which would either explode upon hitting something with enough impact after having flown 8 meters or it would self-detonate after 1.3 seconds in which time the shell/cartridge would have flown 70-80 m (230-262 ft). When the shell/cartridge explodes the red phosphorous in it gets converted into white phosphorous that auto-ignites in contact with oxygen causing a 10m (32ft) wide and 15m (49ft) long trail of 1300c (2372F) burning incendiary matter.

This model and renders were commissioned by wild arms research and development to be used in their new book titled "Flame assault shoulder weaponry m202A1 flash"
