Incendiary Weapon

Incendiary weapons are chemical weapons designed to incinerate personnel and equipment and to ignite flammable materials.

Overview
Modern incendiary weapons are comprised of highly flammable chemical compounds that adhere to their target and which are resistant to suppression. These chemicals can be utilized in flamethrowers, bullets, bombs, and other other explosive devices. Incendiary weapons can burn at such high temperatures that they can melt through metal plating, making them effective even against armored targets. Incendiary weapons are most commonly used against infantry in enclosed spaces; they are especially common in engagements against the Biomatter Swarms. They can also be used for utilitarian purposes, such as clearing forests, destroying equipment, and igniting flammable materials. The most prolific users of incendiary weaponry is the Red Rose Dynasty of the Margan, whose style of warfare entirely revolves around the use of fire.

Incendiary Dust
Incendiary dust is comprised of airborne 'dust' particles that resemble a cloud of black smoke. The dust adheres to most surfaces as well as to itself, generating large clumps of dust overtime. Incendiary dust is extremely flammable, requiring only a small spark to ignite. Once ignited, an extremely hot and fast moving flame will quickly envelop all dust particles within reach, scorching anything it comes into contact with. Incendiary dust is most frequently used to clear out enclosed spaces such as bunkers and buildings, and can be delivered by a variety of methods, such as artillery shells, pumps, or specialized firearms. Air filters are ineffective against incendiary dust, as the particles become stuck in the filter itself, which will lead to it catching fire. This is especially dangerous for infantry as it will result in their helmet's air filters clogging and igniting, which can prove fatal.
