OK, this is for the Ground Force/Marine crowd so be warned.
Now then has anybody put any thought to a trek version of the flame thrower? Just about every heavy specialized weapon of the 20th century has so far recieved a 24th century equivalent and I was wondering if anybody has come up with someting yet?
Ok I see the following reasons such a weapon still exist in the 24th century:
1.) To eliminate Enemy fixed positions with a heavy use of Psychological terror mixed in, especially against Jm'hadr.
2.) Clear heavy areas of natural vegitation on undeveloped worlds and cause enemy sensors to be temporaily (very temporary) disrupted by the heat generated.
Any Ideas?
