merc info: who says you can not bring a flamethrower to a modern gun fight. This guy does. Fire is a basic fear of all mankind so why not use it to drive off the ones who think they can face this monster of a man.
Merc looks: this mercinary would be nameless and faceless (no not like the TF2 pyro this one would still talk) they would talk in a german accent and have their face covered by a balistic mask, their armor would be fairly simple mostly a wife beeter (dark tan in color) and black cargo pants. the defining armor is a propane tank on the back and 2 molotov grenades hanging from a belt.

xm42 flamethrower
flamthrower function
the xm42 is a short range fire weapon which does high damage to all who get hit by it, this being said anything killed by it will not be downed and instead will be directly eliminated. the weapon has 15 seconds worth of fuel and regains fuel at the rate of 1 per 5 seconds. while the flamethrower is active the merc will be mostly immobile as they must focus to keep the weapon from spewing fire everywhere.
video showing what I am describing for the flamethrower: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2iD9iNfh0U
note: I know the movement gimp may be/ is a bad idea. though no other idea how one would balance the weapon as in a small space it would be OP as hell.
