Subject Info
The Byzantine cheirosiphon (hand-siphon) was an early handheld, portable flamethrower used to deploy Greek fire, a top-secret incendiary weapon developed in the 7th century. It consisted of a pressurized bronze tube and pump, used to shoot a burning, water-resistant mixture (likely petroleum-based) to destroy enemy ships and siege weapons, essential for defending Constantinople.
