Children:
* Flamethrowers
* Incendiary grenades / molotovs
* Incendiary bombs (napalm bombs)
* Incendiary rockets / ammo
Implied: (not enforceable)
* Burning - there are plenty of games that don't actually set anyone on fire
Related:
* Cryogenic weapons
Lasers are also thermal weapons, but their application and appearance differs too much from the others (and many popular inaccurate depictions), that implying thermal weapons with them is poor choice (unless they actually set things on fire).
