This gun is sort of like the laser weapons in that it isn't useful against armour, but it is against unarmoured opponents. It gives a funny animation when you kill enemies sometimes, but it isn't really that useful. If you have good big gun skill when you get to New Reno, you can get a flamer, and New Reno will be so much easier, as people in New Reno don't really have very heavy armour. The Flamer and Improved Flamer appear to be the same. Pretty random damage too. In fallout it was great because most enemies had 50hp and you could kill them in one hit. But in this game the enemies have much higher hp...
