In many of the shows, books, games I experience, whenever fire is shown as a weapon by itself, it always seems to have physical force. It will knock the enemy back or will slam them into the ground in shows or games like Avatar and Dark Souls. Can it could actually have force enough to push someone back? If not why is it portrayed that way all the time?
I could never actually imagine fire doing having enough power to slam someone back. I always think it would just go onto you or gloss over/around you and light you on fire.
In: Physics
Fire has some force because it causes air movement by thermal expansion.
But it’s definitively exaggerated, to actually slam someone back it has to be not a flamethrower-like fire, more like jet engine fire or a thermobaric weapon explosion.
