Umgebaute Flammenwerfer 40 (Converted Flamethrower 40) is a backpack flamethrower converted to shoot a powerful jet of water solution of CN gas as a riot control device. The device was first used by the Swiss police in 1940.
Some Converted Flamethrower 40s were loaned to the German police for use at the protests against building the Runway West (Startbahn-West) at Frankfurt-am-Main in West Germany in 1979. Some police still use them, for example in Aargau in Switzerland.
