    There is the famous film footage of a German truck being firebombed from an upstairs window in Paris during the battle between French resistance fighters and Germans troop in 1944. The truck catches fire and several Germans can be seen on fire. Using inflammable materials against your enemy is not new. But sometimes what can seem to be a good idea may not have the result you had hoped for. In the past some armies would use animals, such as pigs, dogs and even cats, covered with flammable materials which would be set alight and driven at the enemies army. The problem is that in a maddened state caused by the fire these animals could be driven back towards those whose who set them on fire causing as much havoc to them as their enemy. Which is one of the reasons it was not often used. Another example of a little bit more thought into its use of fire would show you that it cannot be used in all cases. As an example during WW2 the German Luftwaffe fitted some of the bombers with a rear firing flamethrower in order to stop the fighters of the Royal Air Force attacking them. Not only did it not stop the fighters no one seemed to wonder about the safety of having a tank full of flamethrower fuel in the aircraft.

    Aren't there also self-igniting Molotov cocktails which do not require a cloth rag or storm matches? If I recall correctly, they either use white phosphorous mixed with whatever flammable liquid used or they have a small vial filled with a different liquid chemical taped to the main container which reacts and ignites upon breaking.

    Molotov Cocktail has became a general term to describe burn bottles, but like with any beverage, the real Molotov Cocktails use it's own special ingredients. In Finland the term Molotov Cocktail is not used for just any burn bottles unless it's confirmed to be real Molotov Cocktail. Like for example, Finns mixed some tar into it to make more stickier and more advanced then what was used in the Spanish civil war.

    My moment to shine with some fun facts: 1) my classmates of mine had the glorious idea of throwing hard liquor on a car. If I remember correctly (I wasn't there, they were around 11-13 years old back then), they claimed that it did make a fireball, but they were very disappointed that the flames immediately extinguished themselves. Drinkable alcohol is about the worst fire source available if you want to actually burn something as it doesn't burn as hot as gasoline and is still very volatile meaning that the fire is above what you want to burn and the heat quickly disperses upwards and away. One of these _special_ pupils later made a better Molotov using petroleum and threw it on a park bench during Fastnacht (the German equivalent of Halloween). They were still not impressed with the fire and poured even more petroleum on the bench until one of them realized that they were in the middle of a small forest and everything was as dry as tinder... Realising that they could get into serious trouble they then tried to stomp out the flames and got burnt... Yes, I repeat, they were _special..._ Also, for the love of god, don't try shooting a Molotov from a potato cannon! It's too heavy and fragile. It's a Rohrkrepierer in the making... (a term originally referring to mortar grenades exploding on launch inside the barrel of the mortar and now meaning total failure) 2) Another classmate got hit with a Molotov, a few years later. It bounced off his squishy human body and shattered on the pavement (way more typical than what you see in games and videos) causing a small fireball which in turn set his trousers on fire... He got away with light burns. He also managed to get stabbed and shot on other occasions and every single time it was for the same reasons... He made his pocket money in the wrong streets... 3) From a chemical perspective, as mentioned before, you won't be happy with alcohol (methanol, ethanol), but on the other extreme, butter, and diesel won't work either despite being extremely dense in energy to the point that they rival explosives! Unlike regular petrol, they won't ignite by a spark or even a lighter. They simply need too much energy to evaporate and burn. However, if you mix them with petrol, they can burn. Plastics (and historically soaps) are preferred as a few weight percent already turn a thin liquid into a gel, which can even stick on ceilings (wouldn't recommend trying it...) and it will stick on people or cars no matter how much they move. 4) On the other hand, having a substance that easily evaporates can yield huge fireballs. They aren't as scary as lasting fire, but in confined spaces, they can be a bigger harm to humans, because humans can run from slow fires, but if they breathe in a fireball, then it's too F-ing late... Plus, they can blind and concuss, like any fat explosion, or similar combustion. 5) A common problem with the old rag is that the fire may go out in the air before the Molotov hits the intended target destination. It's the same problem with most attempts of making fire arrows, as you're exposing flames to wind speeds similar to those, if not faster, that you use to blow out candles... A secondary concern is the rag acting like a holy water sprinkler and dousing the user in flammable oils, which is a nice way to have an attack to _backfire..._ A tertiary concern is that the rag acts as a wick and will consume the flammable liquid stored inside. Just as with the hairspray flamethrower, you'll reach a stage where just enough flammable material is left that it forms an explosive fuel-air mixture... 6) While rarely seen on Molotovs, many incendiary devices have countermeasures against extinction. This can be using a sparkler as a fuse, or it can be adding oxidizers (dangerous as it enhances the burn speed and temperature to the point that it can explode; however it was used even on medieval fire arrows), or lastly including white phosphorus (which is used as an incendiary weapon on its own and ignites in contact with frigging air!) or substances that ignite in contact with water (alkaline metals, triethylaluminium, etc.). PS: I've done a lot of silly stuff, but I've never made or used a Molotov personally. Let's just say that as a Chemist, this is part of my _professional_ curiosity...

    For those that missed the Deleted and now PRIVATE video.....I mentioned the movie "The Warriors". Take a glass bottle of liquid whoopee, strip of cloth from the bottom of a dress, light cloth and throw at parked car. By The Way: The BATFE has classified Molotov Cocktails as a Destructive Device. 10 years at Club Fed plus fine up to $250,000.00 for making one without approval. $200 Tax Stamp anybody?????

    Legally, in the US molotov cocktails are considered a destructive device and need a $200 NFA tax stamp to produce and own, and the bottle has to be etched with the manufacturer info and a serial number. Somewhat odd, considering flamethrowers are completely unrestricted at the federal level...

    movies exaggerate the way molotovs function. Liquid gasoline is not explosive, but gas fumes are very explosive. A container with a small amount of gasoline can explode, a full one will only burn. When a Molotov 's container shatters the gas ignites and spreads but there is little explosion. Terrifying incendiary but poor explosive.

    I wonder what Molotov himself felt about having such an infamous weapon named after him? Probably wanted a stiff drink if Stalin made things a bit under the collar
