Flamethrowers are also more dangerous to the user half the time. One good shot to the hose or tank and you're dead. There's a very good reason flamethrowers are hardly ever used.

Honestly, IBO strikes me as a show perfect to use it, seeing as it avoids beam weaponry like the plague. I can't imagine that Mobile Workers would last long in flames hot enough to turn concrete into goo.

This is true. Maybe in season 2.
