Incendiary Weapons

The torch is for all intents and purposes a stick with one end tipped with flammable material, often soaked in flammable oils or liquids. The Torch is a multi-use device. It can be used to set objects on fire, light dark areas or signal others in the dark. It's use as a weapon is limited, as it requires one to be in close range of it's target to set them alight—which might not happen to begin with—and makes for an inferior distance weapon when thrown.

BlowTorch: A hand-held propane torch. They lack the heat necessary to puncture a human skull, and the flame is only a few inches long. Better used to set fire to something else.

A type of homemade incendiary weapon, usually consisting of petrol or alcohol contained in a glass bottle with a cloth wick protruding out of the top. They are safer to manufacture than pipe bombs, though they are dangerous to handle when lit, and somewhat awkward to wield. Although easy to create, Molotov cocktails are very ineffective against zombies, due to the fact that a fire capable of burning through bones must be extremely hot for a very long time. Molotov's tend to burn themselves out before even slowing down a zombie, and in the meantime, the fire will easily spread to other fuel sources. Be very careful about where you throw these fireballs-in-a-bottle, as you are likely to set fire to whatever structure you are taking refuge in. However, Molotov cocktails can be useful in the safe disposal of infected corpses or infected zombies. Please Take note that in The Pictured Photograph, the mixture is supposed to be black- not translucent brown. The discoloration is due to age- Although still flammable indeed, it is much less potent. Alcohol may be clear and gas might be lighter in color; fuel sources may differ.

You can make a Molotov by getting a glass bottle. For the fuel you can use ethanol, menthol, gasoline, petrol, or alcohol. You fill the bottle with the fluid but only about ¾ full. You then seal the bottle and attach a rag around the neck (by tying, taping, with a rubber band, etc.) or tape a storm match to the side like in the picture above. Always remember to soak the rag in a flammable liquid before lighting it or else it will be difficult to ignite. Remember to bring a lighter, a Zippo or a wind-resistant lighter is helpful. For the storm match you can bring the strike pad but it will feel odd lighting it that way, or you can use a lighter.

This is very tricky to do, since you first need to find a way to soak the zombie or zombies in question with enough fuel to get the job done without getting grabbed, a way to ignite the fuel, and a way to get far enough away to avoid getting burned alive. Only recommended in defensive moats and the Pied Piper Strategy.

In theory, tossing a tank full of combustible fuel into a mob of ghouls and shooting it like in the movie ‘’JAWS’’ would be an excellent way to incinerate the whole hoard. It’s actually far more difficult to do in practice. Your average propane tank is designed to withstand a lot of abuse. Some rifles can puncture certain types of propane tanks, but it may require the survivor to stand fairly close to the tank to hit the tank flush (the curvature of the tank will cause ricochets), and before the round's velocity diminishes. Clusters of rounds will be necessary, as the gas inside the tank is actually not very flammable. It is the gas escaping from the puncture and mixing with the oxygen that can start the combustion. Incendiary rounds are needed for this to work

Napalm is flammable adhesive liquid that can sustain a high burning temperature. While technically, the name originated from the original popular formula of naphthenic and palm acids in gasoline, there are hundreds of different acceptable formulas that are known as napalm. It burns very hot and many kinds are durable enough to burn on the surface of a body of water.
Like most incendiary weapons, it is impractical to use Napalm against zombies in most cases. While well amassed globs of napalm around the head and neck can roast, and eventually destroy the brain, this method is considered largely ineffective and very risky. Napalm used anywhere else on the zombie body poses more of a threat to survivors than zombies.

If you touch inflamed Napalm, expect second and third degree burns. Concentrate on using other items to wipe the sticky fire off, more than dousing, or smothering the napalm.

Dragon's breath rounds fire incendiary materials which light soft targets on fire, and at a fair distance, much like a flamethrower. The heat levels don't approach that of most flamethrowers, but shotguns don't suffer the same safety and weight issues as a flamethrower. However like all flame based weapons, they will take many minutes, if not hours to immobilize or kill a zombie.

Thermite is a pyrotechnic compound that when ignited produces a high amount of heat than can burn through most metals and would reduce the undead to ashes in a short period of time(or rather seconds). Thermite isn't an explosive but can be if used or if made improperly. Thermite is composed of aluminum and iron oxide(rust) and can be used for hundreds of different reasons such as igniting a padlock or welded blockage to a certain area, or just using it to weld metal, and even possibly using it as a trap for the undead. Thermite consists of aluminum and iron oxide(rust) and a catalyst to ignite it, in this case, magnesium.
Obtaining the Aluminum
Find yourself an Etch-A-Sketch, the stuff inside is purely aluminum
Go to a paint store they usually have powdered aluminum for paint mix
Buy it online or at a hardware store
Grind down things made of aluminum(i.e. soda cans, bicycle frames)
Obtaining the Iron Oxide
Again you may go to a paint store and ask if they have any
You can also buy it online as well
You can purchase Steel Wool, cover it in a jar with water. Use a magnet to prevent the wool from floating, and next put 5 tablespoons of regular bleach and 5 tablespoons of regular vinegar and let it sit for a day or two. Then filter the brown paste into say a coffee filter and let it dry out.

Mixing

Thermite is approximately 8 grams of iron oxide to 3 grams of aluminum. The formula is by weight but aluminum is light so it will appear as a 50-50 mix. Put them in a container and mix them evenly. If you want, mix four parts thermite with one part clay for moldable thermite.

Igniting

Thermite requires high substantial amounts of heat so magnesium will do the trick, find magnesium ribbon or a sparkler that contains magnesium. Place the magnesium in a thermite pile and light it with a Torch. Don't stop and stare - RUN!!!
