- "A bit much, isn't it?"
"Yeah, you're right. This one is overkill." - ―Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, on the clone flamethrower
The BT X-42 heavy flame projector,[1] or known simply as the clone flamethrower,[12] was a model of flamethrower used by the specially trained clone flametroopers during the Clone Wars. Clone flametroopers were deployed at the Second Battle of Geonosis to use this weapon against the native Geonosians, which were unarmored and therefore particularly susceptible to the flamethrower.[1] After the end of the war and the ensuing rise of the Galactic Empire, clone stormtroopers continued to use the weapon. One was utilized by "Wyler" during a mission to the planet Desix, which was also wielded by another clone stormtrooper from Team two.[9] In addition, one was also wielded as ES-04's primary weapon in the Elite Squad.
