The Lanciafiamme Spalleggiato Modello 35, also known as the Model 35, was a flamethrower issued to the Royal Italian Army in the Second Italo-Ethiopian War.

[1] The Model 40 was employed largely in the North African campaign against the British and with Italian units in Russia.

The two upper sections were linked together and could hold 6 litres of nitrogen at a pressure of 20 atmospheres, which acted as a propellant.

[1] Both substances were loaded from special openings on the upper end of the cylinders, where a manual valve conveyed the liquid nitrogen in the tank to pressurize them at the moment of use.

The main system was initially made of two sharpening sheets of steel, with flint and rollers to create sparks from friction, actuated by the control lever.

It was later replaced by an electrical system: a square box, placed behind the cylinders housed an 18 volt battery with a dynamo for manual recharging.

A secondary system consists of the "bengalotto," a slow-burning pyrotechnic device that is manually ignited and mounted on the weapons sight, burning for 2 minutes.

For shock troops and paratroopers, a lighter version that could be held as a rifle was developed, called the Lanciafiamme Mod.
