Increase underbarrel effectiveness

[Whistle]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Increase range on under barrel flamer effectiveness, a two tile range is pitiful and has no real use considering damage ticker and the ease to walk out of Napthal unharmed.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): It will see under barrel flamer being used in choice situations, therefore bringing it into more common use, akin to the knife rig suggestion.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): It will decrease the amount of under slung grenade launchers being used. (which have been nerfed in reply I believe)
It will also, to a degree allow people more training with flamer weapons and how they work, (their trajectory, crossing off paths and the damage ticker.)
It will also allow marines to kill egg nests with less risk of friendly fire, considering it's hard to miss and walk into a glowing orange lava tile.


Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Gun coding, should be easier to increase the range of flamer, one shot burst = to the same range as the regular flamer.

+1 from me laddyo seeeing as it cant even serve as a way to cut off aliens effectively, ought to be atleast half the range of the real deal

+1, though any flamers are very situational. Maybe have one rifle per marine armory thingy with pre-set flamer?

[Fritigern]

+1

Flamers are the least effective weapon in the game, they're there as a utility item for SOME area denial (aliens hardly take damage from fire to begin with, it's mainly just psychological). They're best used to clear rooms of weeds/eggs/sticky resin, but if you can only do that from 2 tiles away then it's a waste.

+1 flamer become much more useful after map change so it worth adequate stats

Bump for staff input.
