MikeyD Posted December 5, 2001 Share Posted December 5, 2001 Didn't they show a KV-85 in the old CMBB polygon lineup some months back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgep Posted December 5, 2001 Share Posted December 5, 2001 <blockquote>quote:</font><hr> The ATO-41 could fire up to three times in every 10 seconds. Each shot took about 10 litres of gas mixture. The range of the flamethrower depended on the type of gas mixture: - 65 litres with 60% mazut and 40% kerosene; - 100 litres with kerosene-oil mixture. <hr></blockquote> 100 LITRES or 100 METERS? .... its talking about range so I think they meant METERS but im not sure. It would be very cool if this flamethrower had a range of 100 meters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an ancient russian length measurement unit – how much a russian man can run, after drinking X litres of vodka. I.e. more litres means less distance. I'd say 100 litres is roughly equivalent to 0.5349 centimeters which doesn't make a really huge range for a flamethrower thou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
