The clone flamethrower, officially designated the BT X-42 heavy flame projector, was a flamethrower model employed by specialized clone flametroopers throughout the duration of the Clone Wars. During the Second Battle of Geonosis, these clone flametroopers were dispatched to wield this weapon against the indigenous Geonosians, who lacked armor and were thus exceptionally vulnerable to its effects. Following the war's conclusion and the subsequent rise of the Galactic Empire, clone [stormtroopers](/article/stormtrooper] persisted in its use. On the planet Desix, "Wyler" utilized one during a mission, and another clone stormtrooper from Team two also brandished it. Furthermore, ES-04 carried one as his main armament within the Elite Squad.
