German weapon question

Elsewhere on the net an acquaintance writes:
So I bought some 20mm FAA PGs long ago and I am now painting them. three of the figures have a stick looking weapon with a handguard/trigger mechanism toward the bottom front of the tube. There is nothing else on the tube, just that. At first it looked like a flame thrower, but there are no tanks or tubing. Then I thought, maybe it is something along the lines of a LAW?

He refers to the standing figure third from left. It is not a PanzerSchreck. Far too short, and no shield. Looks kinda like an M79 blooper.

Anyone have an idea what it might be?

Looks like the correct answer is "Einstossflammenwerfer"

New to me, never heard of it before!
