The inventor is refered to as Charles Fourie in BBC News article and Charl Fourie in CNN article. Which one is correct? --Easyas12c 4 July 2005 16:04 (UTC)
 * Charles Fourie gets 310 google hits and Charl Fourie gets 456 google hits .  I'm not sure if this is a fair test though. --Bletch 00:54, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Blaster-flamethrower.jpg
Image:Blaster-flamethrower.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Operational use?
Are there any verifiable cases where these units were fired against assailants in the field? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.226.104.225 (talk) 22:18, 8 April 2009 (UTC) <!--

Contradictions
The article says 25 were manufactrued but a hundred were sold by 2001. Is one of the numbers wrong or did they sell each one 4 times.--~

Firing range
The infobox says that the maximum firing range is 2 metres, but the main text says 5 metres - which is correct? ~
