I would agree, but CMT actually took away the extended igniter (notice how it just looks like a maimed stub in snow grove) and that would realistically decrease the range. I don't understand why they did that when the default flamer didn't even look as weird. Not to mention it doesn't even make sense to have a design like that for such a volatile weapon. The users will have a greater chance of setting themselves on fire let alone smoke some grunts :/
