[erike]

An entire unit of flamethrowers commanded by a guy named BurnHard is Ace Attorney levels of nominative determinism

[TheSecondVersion]

"Where do you put the bayonet?"

- Lewis Burwell "Chesty" Puller, Marine Corps officer in WW2, when presented with a flamethrower

[blookester]

"Carrying a Flamethrower makes you a priority target"

*Flashbacks to the entire enemy team bayonet charging me when I pick up a Flamethrower kit in Battlefield 1*

[ninfreak]

Germany: "Let's use abbreviations for our weapons and vehicles."
USA: "You're called M1, you're called M1, EVERYTHING is called M1"

“The barbecue’s hot... and you’re in season.”
Yep, this was 200% worth the wait

[arthurcallahan]

“Causes of death are many and varied…old age, illness, suicide. But out of that long, morbid list, there's one end that people fear above all others: death by fire.”

[Crakinator]

“You ought to be afraid. You’re made of meat.”
Love this guy

[md_vandenberg]

"The barbecue is hot... and you're in season." Holy shit, that was a chilling line.

[kaiasei]

“So, What sort of maniac would yield one?”


Meet the pyro

[PeteTheWargamer]

I came across this channel only last month and loved the content. But with the last upload 6 months ago, I feared it was dead. I'm so happy that I was wrong.

[shadowlucario]

"You see that mountain?"
"You can BURN IT"

amazing delivery right there

[wolfroze]

"Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
"

[actingapple]

those first 20 seconds are absolutely raw, "You ought to be afraid. You're made out of meat." like what the fuck that's amazing

[SNEEDVILLE]

*"War without fire is like sausages without mustard"*
The most German sentence I ever heard in my life

[grindcore]

Ahoy: "What sort of maniac would wield one?"

*"Do you believe in magic" starts playing*

[racermigs]

"You see that mountain? You can BURN IT."

I love that line.

[JazzKazoo]

The irony of a unit armed exclusively with flamethrowers commanded by a man named Bernhard is amazing

[maximumwill]

The fact that the first ever flamethrower unit was camanded by a man named "BernHard" is the best thing I've heard all day.

[deusexaethera]

Flamethrowers are used for:
1) clearing jungles;
2) making sure that your enemies live just long enough to horrify everyone else considering becoming your enemies.
