The Wechselapparat Wex M1917 was a lightweight modified version of the M.16. Since 1916, the German flamethrower troops upgraded increasingly to the so-called "Wex", a one-man flamethrower of the next generation with an eye-catching annular tank holding twelve liters of fire oil. In the middle of the ring sat a spherical compressed air tank, with its contents the M.16. could be used either in ten flame surges to a max of 30 meters range or fire three bursts up to 100 meters. The ignition of the flame jet was carried out automatically with a small gas flame.The Wex saw effective use in 1917/18 and was the basis for a number of flamethrowers including the Model 40 German flamethrower and the British No. 2 Portable Flamethrower in World War II. After the first World War the Germans were supposed to destroy all their flamethrowers but the most were used by German Freikorps. Some of the Wex were used in Finland in the 1920s.
