I guess the main reason this caught my eye is because for the proper Greek fire the canonical method to use it is a siphon. Think a flame thrower with napalm. So I just could not see the connection. | |
| Mar 18, 2019 at 5:15 | comment | added | Cadence | @VilleNiemi IIRC the scheme (which might've been in another answer) was to have a sealed vessel full of Greek fire which would burst apart when it hit and then spontaneously ignite. Hence "impact-detonated" in the sense of "not on fire until impact". | |
