This video features a rare, functioning Japanese Type 100 flamethrower, a successor to the Type 93. The description highlights its design differences compared to American counterparts, such as its rotating valve, paper ignition cartridges, and lack of a pressure regulator which causes a drop in range as fuel is consumed. The specific example shown was acquired in pristine condition from the Tokyo Arsenal in 1945-46 and is noted as the only known working Type 100. The video includes a demonstration of its firing capabilities.
