Bugs
There are many bugs associated with this weapon. One such bug causes the handheld part of the weapon to not dissapear when put away; waving around as if an extention of the hand. Another glitch (possibly caused by modding the weapon) is when the tank part of the weapon appears to fall off and bounce, much like when you drop a weapon, in third-person. When the player returns to first-person the tank dissapears from the ground.

Another bug you may experience is: if you apply a hotkey to the flamer in your pip-boy and remove the flamer later from your inventory the game crashes or freezes when you try to apply a new hotkey to an item. Utilizing the remaining hotkeys still works in normal gameplay (except for pressing them longer than 2 seconds). If you try to assign a new hotkey to any item in your pip-boy later it will end up in a game crash or freeze, no matter which key you try to use. It's not clear if the the mod (Flamer Expanded Tanks) causes this problem or if it happens to unmodded flamers, too. No solution for this at the moment, except loading a previous save.
