Several flamethrower troops are depicted as being easily set on fire or exploding when their fuel tanks are hit by enemy fire. This is a common misconception. Instructors would actually shoot at the tanks repeatedly to show new recruits that the flamethrower wasn't a danger to its operator. Medal of Honor recipient Hershel "Woody" Williams actually crawled up the beach at Iwo Jima with Japanese bullets harmlessly bouncing off his flamethrower tanks.
