Aversions are simply a trope not being used. They are not examples and should not be listed as such.


* ''Literature/CiaphasCain'':
** In ''For The Emperor'', a sniper accompanying the main character shoots the pack of a (already dead) genestealer cultist's flamethrower to create a barrier to cover their escape (although this is justified, since the sniper was armed with a [[SlowLaser LongLas]], which would easily have been able to boil the fuel and make the tank explode).
** {{Averted|Trope}} in ''Caves of Ice'' when a flamethrower-equipped Guardsman is killed by a [[{{BFG}} bolter]] to the chest.

* ''Literature/DreamPark'': In the South Seas Treasure Game, Alex Griffin is using a flamethrower against some enemy mooks when another mook's rifle bullet hits the fuel tanks on his back. He gets it off just before it explodes into flames (fake, of course - it ''is'' a [[{{LARP}} Live Action Role Playing Game]], after all), but is nearly "killed" by the residual flames. Fortunately, one of the group's Clerics is able to heal him.

* Terran Firebats in ''VideoGame/StarCraft'' explode with a drawn-out BigNo when killed. Canonically, the flamethrower leaks into the suit.

Added DiffLines:

* ''VideoGame/PrimalCarnage'': While his flamethrower isn't a danger to the Pyromaniac himself, if he's killed by being dropped to his death by the ''Pteranodon'', he will ''explode'' on impact, which has the potential to kill any of his teammates below (and grants the ''Pteranodon'' player an achievement).

Added DiffLines:

* ''VideoGame/VermintideII'': Warpfire Throwers have a prominent back-mounted warpstone PowerCrystal that explodes when struck, killing the unit instantly and leaving a [[DangerousTerrain flaming surface]] behind. For obvious reasons, it's best done with a ranged weapon.

Added DiffLines:

** ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquerRenegade'' is the unusual FPS-spinoff of the RTS game, and features both Nod flame-troopers and Nod chem-troopers. Shooting them in the body will put them down just like any other infantryman. Get a critical hit on either their helmets or their fuel tanks or tiberium gas pods, and watch the hot flaming bits go flying away from the explosion next to the poor bastard's head. If other infantry were close enough (barely past touch distance, the models almost had to clip into each other) you could sometimes splash enemy troopers with the cloud of flames/poison.
