Background
According to legend were the Oskar Eldgevar invented when Martin auf Görgenholtz had enough of the stinging nettles that grew on the backyard of his country palace and made a flamethrower to get rid of them. However did fate struck and the same year did the royal guard report that they were looking for a new flamethrower.
Martin did a few changes to his original design, as include a larger and easier replaced tank for the fuel and made the gun itself more alike the KVG-08 in appearance. The weapon was a success and it were adopted by the royal guard to serve as the standard issue flamethrower.
Construction
There are three main parts of the Oskar eldgevar; the gun, the hose and the tank. The tank itself is a square formed metal construction that is carried in a leather backpack just as the regular infantry backpack. Here are both the fuel and the nitrogen propellant stored in two separate tanks. The pressure of both tanks are kept high so that the flame thrower will be able to launch a long flame during a short period of time after which the flamethrower is empty.
The second part is the cable that is a hollow rubber cable reinforced with a layer of rope tightly wrapped around it to avoid cuts and other damages.
The third part of the flamer is the wooden and metal flamethrower construction that just as the KVG's that were in usage during it's life were made out of stainless steel and oak to be a both robust and able to take a few punches but still look like the standard infantry rifle.
When the trigger is pressed so does the rifle not only unleash a cascade of flammable liquid but it does also triggers a electric charge from two batteries in the end of the rifle that ignites the flames when they are fired out of the rifle.
