The remington 31 is a Ithaca 37
the flamethrowers are few M2A1-7 and a custom prop flamethrower.
I have to add on the DVD-Laserdisc commentary Carpenter states that it was working Vietnam era flamethrower. They had two. One that worked and one that didn't. The one that did used compressed karosine as a fuel. Carpenter literally had the LAFD standing by when they burnt a "Thing".
Don't know about Palmer's rig. Looked like a de-iceing wand from the 70s.
why dose an arctic base have Flamethrowers and shotguns? Rex095
- The Flamethrowers are used to melt the ice off of aircraft wings and helicopter blades so they don't crash and I'm not sure, but the shotguns may be used for killing dangerious wildlife. Those seals and penguins are pretty damn dangerous! - Kilgore 01:52, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
