Each Powered Suit is equipped with a P.S. Flamethrower (火炎放射器 Kaen Hōshaki). The fuel tank can be either stored in the backpack or carried in the hand. The trooper can control the output via a switch on the top of the weapon. In the hypoxia environment, flamethrowers will be replaced with acid splashers.[1]

The fire extinguisher seems to share the same design with the flamethrower, or as an alternative catridge to the flamethrower.
