Note for Colorado: Mufflers were recently removed from an illegal list, along with short-barreled rifles or shotguns – you haven`t gotten federal papers yet. Why do you need a fireball? The goal is to light a fire. You can legally buy an RPG, but why? Pennsylvania does not prohibit “offensive weapons” per se. Our laws on gun matters like this are convoluted in that they are prohibited in relation to and for illegal use and can be possessed for lawful use OR it is a defense that they have been possessed for lawful use. According to the Consolidated Laws Title 18 § 908 subsections b 1 and 3: (1) The defendant proves by a preponderance of evidence that he possessed or marketed the weapon only out of curiosity or in a dramatic performance, or that, except for a bomb, grenades, or incendiary devices, complied with the National Firearms Act (26 U.S.C. §§ 5801 et seq.), or that he possessed them briefly because he found them or took them from an aggressor, or IN CIRCUMSTANCES THAT REJECT THE INTENT OR LIKELIHOOD OF UNLAWFUL USE OF THE WEAPON; and (3) This section does not apply to persons who manufacture, repair, sell or exchange, use or possess firearms for any purpose not prohibited by the laws of this Commonwealth. The American AN-M14 incendiary hand grenade contains a mixture of thermates that generates heat at 4000 degrees Fahrenheit. The charge burns for 30 to 45 seconds. The garnet body consists of a thin sheet metal and is cylindrical in shape.
Although not intended to start fires, tracer projectiles can have a slight burning effect. This is especially dangerous if they encounter flammable substances or dry brushes. Some explosive projectiles, such as high-explosive incendiary projectiles, contain an incendiary charge designed to ignite the explosives in the grenade.

Note for Connecticut: Silents are legal with the right documents. However, silencers are not allowed for hunting. (A few examples: Nyklu ammunition is illegal in some states, and hollow-point ammunition is not legal for daily transportation in others.) Anyway, let`s get to it. To support the case for reviewing and amending Protocol III, this paper debunks common myths about incendiary weapons and the law that regulates them. Flamethrowers, which were widely used during World War I, World War II, as well as the Korean and Vietnam Wars, have not been in the U.S. arsenal since 1978. The US M202A1 “Flame Assault Shoulder Weapon” (FLASH) is designed to replace flamethrowers and produce the same type of effects, but with greater range and accuracy.
It is a four-barrelled bazooka that fires M74 missiles with M235 warheads containing about 1.34 pounds (0.61 kg) of thickened pyrophoric agent (TPA), a liquid that spontaneously burns in air and burns at high temperatures. On impact, a rocket disperses burning incendiary devices over a radius of twenty meters. The most important provision on the legality of weapons is contained in article 23e of the annex to the Fourth Hague Convention respecting the Observance of the Laws and Customs of War on Land of 18 October 1907, which prohibits the use of “weapons, projectiles or materiel causing unnecessary injury”. In some martial law treatises, the term “unnecessary suffering” is used instead of “unnecessary injury.” The terms are considered synonymous. To emphasize this, article 35, paragraph 2, of Additional Protocol I of 1977 to the Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949 provides: “It is prohibited to use weapons [and] projectiles […].
