Talk:Flamethrower
A Frank Opinion by an Irate and Tired Player (Delfin0)
This 'weapon' is useless when it comes to doing any kind of real damage. Not only is it unable to even scratch armor, but spraying it directly into an unarmored car at point blank range will have almost no effect on the occupants. The Flamethrower may be scary and seem impressive on the outset, but it's not good for anything more than spooking and stressing. And by the time you're close enough to use it, you could have demoralised your target from long range with a better weapon.
Pro- Scares the enemy more than a regular weapon.
Con- Impossibly short range.
Con- Increases the chance that your own vehicle will blow up, exterminating all your gangers and dealing you a huge financial blow.
Con- Small magazine size.
Con- Cannot damage armored targets.
Con- Cannot damage unarmored targets.
Con- Takes up a large amount of space, which could be used to fit two much better weapons.
Con- Does not set your target on fire, which is really the first thing that you would have expected it to do.
Con- Everyone will laugh at you. Especially me.
