It acts like a standard flamer but uses the tiny flame template that used to be in the Rogue Trader book.

I was always under the impression it was a customised bolter. Sort of along the lines of the mini knuckle weapons.

Post by: Inso on September 11, 2013, 01:50:12 PM: I swear that I saw an old GW advertisement that had little arrows to his hand-weapon calling it a flamer...

In the big scheme of things, it could be anything though :D
