Weapon Variants for SGII (and Enfilade?)

At the risk of rattling cages........

Continuing the thread of the flamer.....

On the subject of Binary Propellants vs Binary Fuels. To my understanding the
Binary Propellant concept relies on two chemicals mixed and then ignited
usually by an electrical current. This produces the explosive expansion of
gases that push the projectile. On the other hand a flamethrower will use
relatively slowly expanding gas (perhaps
compressed gases) to project a burst or continuous flow of the gel/fluid
which is ignited by another chemical or heat source (not unlike the
pilot light on a gas heater)  - so  the effect of a flamer/flame thrower
is to project a volatile burning substance whether it is something like
phoporous or more like a petroleum gel is probably not all that important in
the scope of SG.

Well, that's how I see it. Any contributions gratefully received.

On another subject; Enfilade fire....... The most effective use of a support
weapon. Any thoughts on its application in SG2. After all that is really why
MGs are the powerful weapon on the battlefield, not because that just push out
a lot of rounds really fast. (By the way, did you know that when the Bren was
first developed it was TOO accurate, yeah grouped too well to be effective as
an AREA suppression weapon).

        No I certainly don't - most flamethrowers will only project
about 20
        metres (66 feet I think) - great for scaring hell out of anyone
further away, but only lethal within that range.

IIRC this was when they tried to use it in jungle warfare... even with a
flared barrel it still put most bullets through the same hole.
