Flamethrower
It creates a stream of flame that briefly superheats the air. It has a range of about three tiles and is most effective against alien weeds and space vines, while very effective against the aforementioned two infestations the flamer is at best a suppression weapon against human targets and at worst a suicide attack to yourself, you are better off using a Stun Prod or a Toolbox than the flamethrower unless you are trying to slow your pursuers. When using a flamethrower either wear a firesuit to protect you against the high heat or move back as soon as you fire the weapon.
May simply cause masses of plasma to be spewed everywhere if the pressure settings are too high.
