| rdfs:comment | - One alternate mode of fire available to the operator is a so-called "wetshot", where the Incinerator is fired with the nozzle burner switched off and a stream of liquid fuel is sprayed at the target. This fuel has a tendency to partially vaporize, and a subsequent shot with the nozzle burner switched back on can ignite this vapor cloud to create an intense fireball. Another option is a blind angle burst, often used in close quarters fighting in an urban environment — the flame burst from the M240 can be 'bounced' off of walls or other solid surfaces to attack enemies out of the line of sight.

This fuel has a tendency to partially vaporize, and a subsequent shot with the nozzle burner switched back on can ignite this vapor cloud to create an intense fireball. Another option is a blind angle burst, often used in close quarters fighting in an urban environment — the flame burst from the M240 can be 'bounced' off of walls or other solid surfaces to attack enemies out of the line of sight. The M240 is undoubtedly one of the most fearsome weapons in the Marine inventory, and has proven especially useful in close combat against soft targets. It is also ideal for use against fortifications — flame can be directed through defensive apertures, causing both direct incendiary damage and also burning up the enemy's oxygen supply, causing incapacitation or death by asphyxiation. Its primary limitations, as with all flamethrower weapons, are its limited range. It has also been known for the unit to detonate catastrophically when the fuel reservoir is struck with certain types of incendiary ammunition.
